Open your eyes get wise and look alive focus your attention. Windows 95 updated high tech lynchin. Crosses of the colored man who claims he holds the keys to the safe. Secrets of the world blow him in his face. Who's the master of the universe galaxy and planets. Babylonians ecstatic moon the sinkin of Atlantis. (Be the one soul original black filled with melanin. Goin out like represent Kuwait in two thousand). [Ice-T]. Brothers gonna have to put themself in check. Three strikes you in the penzo checked to your neck. Your woman cries your baby grows up alone. Talkin through a three inch glass on a two way phone. You tell me brothers got no options today. You best to listen to the Ice closely fool crime don't pay. Gas and dope bullets and coke ain't the way. You need to march with the Nation on Atonement Day represent. [Chuck D]. Now to all my brothers we be rhymin like this. Yeah I can handle but they can't kill it mill or dismantle it. And we can leave the component alone. Show all my brothers a brother instead of negro. Crackers in the back obscene knahmean.

Smooth B in D.C. sixteenth of October. In unity there is power none can devour. Hour after hour we shower. [RZA & Killah Priest]. Imagine us travellin back to Nazareth. Most fabulous. To raise up the black dead slaves like Lazarus. When I catch rays through the blaze holy essays. No more death days and vexed slaves possessed in caves. Yo it's the last days and times we gots to raise your mind. Brothers walk around dumb different and blind. Pregnant Earths always carry eggs. I pledge to never fall off the ledge. and blacks remain family like Sister Sledge. [Shorty]. God prepared the table for us in the presence of our enemy. Now we soon to be one in unity. One two three I'm a G. But the God inside is that G I chose to be. The world is a stage and everybody plays a part. I'm not considered the one with a sensitive heart. When I say black man you say go. Black man GO black man GO. Chorus. [DA Smart]. Somebody stole me you took me from Kunta to Toby. and mold me in a way that you freed me but still hold me. What you tryin to pull? Eatin us like cannibals. Whatever happened to that forty acres and that animal. Now you tryin to use integration just to fool us. Like Malcolm said we been hoodwinked and bamboozled. Mama cryin and I ain't lyin. I'm going to Washington for justice I'ma get it or die tryin. Don't hesitate he's at the gate. And that's a million black men in one place to set it straight. So black women applaud the black God. I'm DA Smart with the million man march. [KAM]. Damn that's how you know the world about to end. Rain hail snow earthquakes and a million black men.

Plus we got family forty miles up controllin. Chorus 4X (to fade
