Get the fuck up off me nigga! As I struggle to keep my balance and composure I'm 'posed to propose a toast to the players on every coast of The lyrical rollercoaster, Mind Bender 'Stead of watching these sucker emcees I'm seeing just how they're lyin' to the general population Don't be patient, get up and stand up for your life Do you agree or understand that we lost some rights since 1-1-9? Come dumb, come young, come blind Unwind, confined to the situation we facin', 'cause it's time Tic, Tic Boom! Tic, boom, tic, tic, boom! Tic, boom, tic, tic, boom! Tic, boom, tic, tic, boom! Tic, boom, tic, tic, boom! When will we all, awake up out of this dream Come here and smell the Folgers, the soldiers The human beings, man acting as if he was the Supreme Being Clocking the souls of men out like he was G.O.D. and W.A.R. There will be no tomorrow, but sorrow and horror will follow The hollow hearts battle for dollars Politicians, modern-day magicians, physicians of death More health care for poor health who makin' us ill? They making us kill, it's makin' me spill my guts Chill, big lay in the cut, for what I refuse to sit in the backseat and get handled Like I do nothing all day but sit around and watch the Cartoon Channel I'll rap about the presidential election and the scandal that followed And we all watched the nation as it swallowed and chalked it up Basically, America, you got fucked The media shucked and jived, now we stuck, damn! Operation Anaconda: ask yourself Was it full of bleeps and blunders? Did they ever find Osama? And why in the fuck did Daniel Pearl have to pay The price for his life and his wife plead twice? See Al-Amin got a life and Fred got dead Hampton To dampen the dream of the Panthers they got the answer For ransom, as we breathe together, as we dream together Count your blessings whenever you feel that things won't be no better But it got to, he gave me this microphone so I must rock your brain waves Airwaves energize and shock you Y'all got me? Well I got y'all long as I know you listening I'm gon' always bring food for thought to the table in the kitchen Now eat nigga! Eat nigga! Eat nigga! Eat nigga!
