[chorus] - repeat through intro
[intro: talib kweli]
one two, one two yo
alright.. put it down yo
june 21, 2001
timothy mcveigh is executed
and the country breathe a sigh of relief
goodness prevails over evil, it seems
somehow when heand's gone, we feel safer
little do we know
[verse one]
today the paper say timothy mcveighand's in hell
so everythingand's okay and all must be well
i remember oklahoma when they put out the blaze
and put islamic terrorist bombing, on the front page
itand's like saying only gays get aids, propaganda
like saying the problemand's over when they locked that man up
wrong! itand's just the beginning, the first inning
battle for americaand's soul, the deviland's winning
the president is bush, the vice presidentand's a dick
so a whole lot of fuckin is what we gonand' get
they donand't wanna raise the babies so the election is fixed
thatand's why we donand't be fuckin with politics
they bet on that, parents fought and got wet for that
hosed down, bit by dogs, and got blacks into house arrest for that
itand's all good except for that - we still poor
money, power and respect is what we kill for, for real
[chorus] - repeat through interlude
[interlude]
august 4, 2001
a drunken police officer mows down an entire family in brooklyn
the judge lets him go with no bail
it reminds us, of just how worthless our lives are to the justice system
i struggle, to explain the situation to my son, itand's hard
[verse two]
niggaz with knowledge is more dangerous than than niggaz with guns
they make the guns easy to get and try to keep niggaz dumb
target the gangs and graffiti with the prop 21
i already know the deal but what the fuck do i tell my son?
i want him livin right, livin good, respect the rules
heand's five years old and he still thinkin cops is cool
how do i break the news that when he gets some size
heand'll be percieved as a threat or see the fear in they eyes
itand's in they job description to terminate the threat
so 41 shots to the body is what he can expect
the precedent is set, donand't matter if he follow the law
i know iand'll give my son pride and make him swallow it all (damn!)
fuck the pigs! i think the pigs killed big and and'pac too
if they didnand't they know who did, they got to!
who they serve and protect, nigga not you
cops shot off of ten gand's but they got glocks too
let you protect yourself, or better yet respect yourself
straight into the hospital is where you gotta check yourself
they be gettin tips from snitches and rival crews
doin them favors so they workin for the drug dealers too
just business enforcers with hate in they holsters
shoot you in the back, wonand't face you like a soldier
kurt loder asked me what i say to a dead copand's wife
cops kill my people everyday, thatand's life
[chorus] - repeat through final interlude
[final interlude]
september 11, 2001
terrorists attack the pentagon and the world trade center
kills thousand and permanently scars americaand's false sense of security
we see the best examples of humanity in the face of the worst
as fire fighters, police officers, rescue workers
and volunteers of all sorts, fight to save lives
the world will never be the same again
[verse three]
my heart go out to everybody at ground zero
red, black, yellow, white and brown heroes
itand's more complicated than black and white
to give your own life is the greatest sacrifice
but itand's hard for me to walk down the block
seeing rats and roaches, crack viles and 40 ounce posters
people broken down from years of oppression
become patriots when they way of life is threatened
itand's a hard conversation to have
we lost kids, moms and dads, people ready to fight for the flag
damn, when did shit get this bad?
america kill the innocent too, the cycle of violence is sad
damn! welcome to the world, we here
weand've been at, war for years but itand's much more clear (yeah)
we got to face what lies ahead
fight for our truth and freedom and, ride for the dead
[chorus] - repeat to end
