_ _ _ _ _ The weapon this time is different, completely [F#] solid, I [E] live in it
This is my calling speaking in no longer a citizen labeled [Em] street terrorist
By terrorists committing bigger sins
Killer full of grievance and pillaging millions of men while we just prone to do
Respect within the streets, we're living in [E] value, statutory, no gratitude for America
[Em] Where uncle says, plan for the forest, war for America
This country doesn't care for us, time to become aware and trust
Nothing that's presented by [F#] government, sponsored [E] media
Spending more money than persons are worth in our schools
And making [Em] up their own rules as they play us for fools
Driven on weapons and tools that could be used to fight back
Against tyrannical rule and civil rights and hijackers like that
Disappear, explain this to me, neighbors were right to rob and tie their school history
They skip over the misery unless it benefits the propaganda
Hope I live to see the day [F#] the lower class [Em] unite and stand astray
By taking shots, cops, disaster needed, kill a few before my life is lost
And I succeeded in helping to [E] overthrow a system out of control
It's just a matter of [G] time before the battle [Em] unfolds
It's just a matter of time, what [E] you gonna do?
Don't be standing, [Em] gather your mind before they come for you
Prepare to battle for free, that's what it's coming
Tell you to be the catalyst, leave this earth [F#] with something
[Em] You wanna ride?
I got that extra [E] gun for you
[Em] Don't be scared of not fighting for something true
See through the wicked agenda, make moves to remove the center of operations
Let's take occasion and suffer legal [E] damage
This is a battle facing the gang files, no case when we face trial
[Em] Convincing the public we're nothing but criminal waste piles
That need to be disposed of and closed with an urgency
A state of emergency, I [F#] declare, don't they [E] murder me?
You really think they're plotting on your death, homie?
Certainly, [Em] just listen to the words I speak
You think that they ain't murdering me?
An orderly cop, he might go pull his sheets back
Looking at police like slaughter cattle on a meat rack
[E] Creep that guy, pinky pie, little pinky die-die
Tell them [Em] devils that you're working for, it's eye for an eye
Took the life of my brother, put that around like no other
Plant a mold in my circle, that's a [F#] dead [E] undercover
Y'all been picking this off for years, [Em] keeping our thoughts impaired
Creating laws for fear, keeping us [E] locked on tears
And it doesn't cost a care for money, stay taught
And where democracy is [G] yet to treat the masses in [E] poverty
It's a [Em] matter of time, what you [E] gonna do?
You'll be standing [Em] catty-o-mike before they come for you
You prepare to battle for free, that's what it's coming to
To be the cattle that's bleak, this trouble [F#m] soft enough
[E] You wanna ride?
I got that extra gun for you
[Em] Won't be scared of not fighting for something true
See through their wicked agenda, make moves to [E] remove the center of [Em] operations
Their state's engaging in self-illegal tenders
I'm blatantly, I'm working to save this world for what it is
Many turn a blind by shooting smack-a-bopping kids
While they go with stocking pigs, prematurely cocking snakes
For the slightest disturbance of the peace, [F#] they're stocking [E] kids in the banks
Police have to know case, but let a little help me [Em] regulate
In prisons and prisons of grace, consider waste
By the upper class, lock us up in double-tax areas
And now we make a pay for our troubled pasts
[E] Let they hear us, we correct when they get disilluminated
If you [Em] choose to hate me, I promise to crucify you
Before they look at you as prey, using what they do away
With your body and make your family pay to let your [F#m] rules decay
So [E] who's to say the news relays?
Any ounce of truth in this, so focused on our [Em] death and everything else in use
It's an obvious plan to distract us from what the hell is they [E] invading
Now the lab will watch them [F#] making their pain, gain
[Em] This is a matter of time, what you [E] gonna do?
We stand to gather your mind, before they come for you
Be prepared to battle for free, that's what is coming
We're easy [Em] to be the cattle that's bleating, there's no [F#] assault
And no, [E] you wanna ride?
I'd say that you're gone for you
[Em] Don't be scared, I fight for something true
See through their wicked agenda, make moves to remove the center of operations
The fake engaging us up for legal [E] taser
We are not gangsters, George [Em] Bush is a gangster
I'm going to be the president of everybody
Whether they voted for me or not, I'm the president
What [F#] _ [Em] kind of joke is that?
You can imagine your equals, they'll join the military
And that's over there, making their way to the H.I.
Trying to hold down Hollywood, and all that freedom stuff
Just because they're good people, you know what I mean?
And they're losing their lives just like that
These people are good people too
So they're saying, we got two innocent motherfuckers fighting each other
Losing for like three [F#] months, [E] motherfuckers with their agenda
It's like a cruise you're taking [Em] on
Ain't no motherfucking mift here
Hip-hop is taking so much time for it to work
[G] The Patriot Act is a sort of thing that the right wing in this country has wanted to do for [C] years
A lot of [Am] that law was written before 9-1-1 ever [A] happened
I mean, how do you [C] think they got it
