Take a piece [A] of America back!
[D] It's called truth, [F#m] It's called truth, truth, truth
We the last of the vintage flowers, we carry [A] it on our shoulders
I keep my friends close and them devils will [D] lie closer
When the freedom riders approach em, they appetizers [C#] and vultures
Soldiers of fortune are never no match for [F#m] soldiers of culture
My flow is so fuckin' honest, you said you wanted [C#m] to hear it
You lied, cuz all you wanted was for me to lift [D] up your spirits
Your truth is too fuckin' ugly, you trust me to [C#] shit for layers
You touch me, you think you're tough, leave the truthless [F#m] rugby players
The soothie to sooth say it's disgusting, the [C#m] truth savies
We move with the gangstas, you niggas sweeter than [D] fruit flavors
The groove slayer, [G#] proven it's cuter to [C#] hide from it
You misguided, dismissed, you saw a suicide [F#m] bomber
Taking orders from the mullah, waiting for karma [C#m] to pull up
These soldiers no match for bullets, just rarely ratchets [D] to full up
You gotta race in the [G#] meat, I lie like the chase
In the wood, [C#] a cop car, like it's honor in being a martyr
And the terrorists [Bm] is the rockstars, dodging the [A] Abu Dhabi
Or dodging the [E] paparazzi, still probably as popular as swastikas [Bm] for Nazis
The cops [A] protect the property properly when [E] they crack a head
Murderers get as cocky as Perseus when [F#m] they crack a debt
A wonder will be running through these crack [C#m] heads
And why niggas are spilling more blood as this fanatic cast [D] of blackadets
I take an active fit, go back to bed, [C#] allergic to the fumes
Having a funeral for the noobs cuz [F#m] the facts is dead
The crust is gone for the neocons, the [A] Barack Obama
America eats his young from Casey Anthony to [D] the Aquaman
Fix it [Bm] and mix it up like martial art [C#] with the octopine
Spicks fire, burn [Bm] down Babylon
[F#m] Take a piece of [E] America back
You have only [Bm] earned
It's called [F#m] truth It's called
[E] It's called truth
You have only earned
Death [F#m] by suicide bomb, Protestants, Bibles, a [A] Quran of Islam
From Genghis Khan to Vietnam, I can smell the [D] napalm
Rape victims, ripped [Bm] stockings, redneck clan members [C#] doing church bombings
Innocent fetuses being aborted with no [Bm] options
Humans, government, [A] ruin them, worrying where weapons could be [E] used to be nuking them
Jesus was crucified in Jerusalem
[Bm] Slaves treated like property
[A] The Pearl Harbor, the [E] Hiroshima, the Nagasaki
Adolf Hitler to every murderous Nazi
[Bm] To the Gambinos, to the [A] Gaddis, to every mafia
[E] Atrocity, child pornography, babies starved and then dying in poverty
[Bm] Serbians fighting [A] Croatians in Yugoslavia
Muslim [E] women being raped up to 40,000 in the war of Bosnia
[F#m] The 50 million killed in the Second World War
The government [C#m] poisoning the minds and the bodies of the babies [F#m] that are born poor
Airplanes [G#] blown up by Islamic extremists in religion
[C#] It's always drama, whether worshipping the prophet or Muhammad or [F#m] Jesus
More Pox than Napoleon, troops dying from titans
[A] From Hispanics, flu to the black plague, to AIDS, to AIDS virus
[D] Bodies in coffins, political [F#] escortions, racist [C#] mobs murdering
Willie Turks, Michael Griffith, and Yusuf [Bm] Hawkins
Check the murder rate, it's the [A] human nature to murder and hate
[E] The Catholic Church claimed women were witches and burned them at the stake
[F#m] Pedophile predators attacking, 38 Beretta used by [A] Gandhi's assassin
60 bullets in Malcolm, it happened [D] uptown Manhattan
A homicide raid, [G#] an 80s epidemic, a crack [C#] in soldiers in action
Dying in Iraq and never coming back, [Bm] and now less
[A] Take a piece of [E] America back
