Dead Prez - We Want Freedom Lyrics
I was born black, i live black,And i'ma die probably because i'm blackBecause some cracker that knows i'm blackBetter than you nigga, is probably gonna putA bullet in the back of my head!!Yeah our lives *****ed up, no doubtAll this shit we go through every daySometimes a nigga don't know what the ***** to doBut see i got my niggasAnd we gon organize a people armyAnd we gon get control over our own livesAnd i mean that shit right there from the bottom of my shitI ching[verse 1]Yeah, yeahImagine havin no runnin water to drinkChemicals contaminate the pipes leadin to your sinkJust think, if the grocery stores close they doorsAnd they saturate the streets with tanks and start martial lawWould you be ready for civil warCould you take the life of somebody you know,Or have feelings for if necessary?I got cousins in the militaryBut far as i'm concerned they died, when they registered[verse 2]Yo, this world is oh so cold, i think about my ancestorsBeing sold, and it make me wanna break the mold***** the gold and the party, train yourself, clean your shottieTell me what you gon do to get free, we need more than mc'sWe need hueys, and revolutionariesThe niggas on the streets today, it's kinda scaryThe smell around my way ain't roses or strawberriesIn fact it's kinda poisonous, bringin out the boy in usBut i'ma stand up on my own, like a man doDominate the land and make wealth, like fu-manchuYes the peoples army stick togehther like glueWe represent the i-ching, and to this we stand trueMilitary formation, anyone participation is welcomeEach one teach one, son help sonJust one gun is all it take to get it startedLivin in the wilderness of the west we cold heartedHook 2x:If you don't think it could happen think again my sonBe prepared for the worst that's yet to comeWe want freedom, prophecies and ancient wisdomCataclsym, niggas be like ***** the systemI don't wanna be no movie starI don't wanna drive no fancy carI just wanna be free, to live my life, to live my own life[verse 3]Yeah, i'm for peaceBut i'll kill ya if ya ***** with my moms or my nieceSee we all want peace, but the problem isCrackers want a bigger pieceGot it where the niggas can't get a pieceThat's why police get stabbed and shotCuz a nigga can't eat if the ave is hotLocked up you get three hot meals and one cotThen you sit and rot, never even got a fair shotThat's where a whole lotta niggas end upMy man moms even got sent up, tryin to keep the rent upWhen i'm bent up i think alot about the reason i'm hereI think about the things i fear in the comin yearsAhead of me, i'm ready for whatever they bring thoughI'd go against a tank wit a shank for my dreamsAnd that's my *****in wordOne day the whole world will smoke herbAnd niggas won't get took to jail for hangin on the curbHook 2x(next part of hook)Hook
