It's just another bombtrack
And suckas be thinkin' that they can
fade this
But I'm gonna drop it at a higher
level
'Cause I'm inclined to stoop down
Hand out some beat-downs
Cold runna train on punk ho's that
Think they run the game
But I learned to burn that bridge
and delete
Those who compete at a level that's
obsolete
Instead I warm my hands on the
flames of the flag
As I recall our downfall
And the business that burned us all
See through the news and views that
twist reality
Enough
I call the bluff
Manifest destiny
Landlords and power whores
On my people they took turns
Dispute the suits I ignite
And then watch 'em burn
The thoughts of a militant mind
Hardline, hardline after hardline
Landlords and power whores
On my people they took turns
Dispute the suits I ignite
And then watch 'em burn
Chorus: Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Burn, burn, yes ya gonna burn
Another funky radical bombtrack
Started as a sketch in my notebook
But now dope hooks make punks take
another look
My thoughts ya hear and ya begin to
fear
That ya card will get pulled if ya
interfere
With the thoughts of a militant mind
Hardline, hardline after hardline
Landlords and power whores
On my people they took turns
Dispute the suits I ignite
And then watch 'em burn
Chorus
In the right light, study becomes
insight
But the system that dissed us
Teaches us to read and write
So-called facts are fraud
They want us to allege and pledge
And bow down to their god
Lost the culture, the culture lost
Spun our minds and through time
Ignorance has taken over
We gotta take the power back
Bam, here's the plan
Mother fuck Uncle Sam
Step back, I know who I am
Raise up your ear, I'll drop the
style and clear
It's the beats and lyrics they fear
The rage is relentless
We need a movement with a quickness
You are the witness of change
And to counteract
We gotta take the power back
Chorus:
We gotta take the power back
We gotta take the power back
The present curriculums
I put my fist in 'em
Eurocentric every last one of 'em
See right through the red, white and
blue disguise
With lecture, I puncture the
structure of lies
Installed in our minds and
attempting
To hold us back
We've got to take it back
'Cause holes in out spirit are
causin' tears and fears
One-sided stories for years and
years and years
I'm inferior? Who's inferior?
Yea, We needa check the interior
Of the system who cares about only
one culture
And that is why
We gotta take the power back
Chorus
The teacher stands in front of the
class
But the lesson plan he can't recall
The student's eyes don't perceive
the lies
Bouncing off every fucking wall
His composure is well kept
I guess he fears playing the fool
The complacent students sit and
listen to the
Bullshit that he learned in school
Europe ain't my rope to swing on
Can't learn a thing from it
Yet we hand from it
Gotta get it, gotta get it together
then
Like the mother fuckin' weathermen
To expose and close the doors on
those who try
To strangle and mangle the truth
'Cause the circle of hatred
continues unless we react
We gotta take the power back
Chorus
No more lies
A jail cell is freedom from the pain
in my home
Hatred passed on, passed on and
passed on
A world of violence rage
But it's one that I can recognize
Having never seen the color of my
father's eyes
Yes, I dwell in hell, but it's a hell
that I can grip
I tried to grip my family
But I slipped
To escape from the pain
An existence mundane
I gotta 9, a sign, a set and now I
gotta name
Read my writing on the wall
No one's here to catch me when I
fall
But death is on my side
Suicide
A jail cell is freedom from the pain
in my home
Hatred passed on, passed on and
passed on
A world of violence rage
But it's one that I can recognize
Having never seen the color of my
father's eyes
Yes, I dwell in hell
But it's a hell that I can grip
I tried to grip my family
But I slipped
To escape from the pain and an
existence mundane
I gotta 9, a sign, a set and now I
gotta name
Read my writing on the wall
No one's here to catch me when I
fall
Caught between my culture and the
system
Genocide
Read my writing on the wall
No one's here to catch me when I
fall
If ignorance is bliss
Then knock the smile off my face
If we don't take action now
We settle for nothing later
We'll settle for nothing now
And we'll settle for nothing later
