We believe to live in peace
Shoot to kill
Shoot to kill
Military minded, small minded
The street is one big land mine
Students act in kind
Taught the repetitive lies
The ‘white’ kind
To live in peace
Shoot to kill
Shoot to kill
All in the line of sight
Are those who fight for equal rights
Even waving white flags
You may end up in body bags
It’s no shame to live in fear
Cause, last time I checked-
Revolutionaries are killed or jailed every year
Cause to live in peace
Shoot to kill
Shoot to kill
It’s Far too much for most to bear
So, Blinders and ear buds is what they wear
When eyes meet for some connection
It’s lost in some distraction
Screens or sex
Fashion or what trend or high is next
When the sleep walkers make a move outside the house
The federal witch doctors turn them out to
To live in peace
Shoot to kill
Shoot to kill
All will be awakened by the shouts of the unjustly imprisoned
All shades put away for political reasons
Mumia today, maybe you or me tomorrow
Look at Black August and then choose who to follow
Those who spread democracy, war and devastation
Or the community leaders battling malnutrition
Cause to live in peace
I have the will
You must have the will……
(AS YET UNTITLED)
Sitting in on a Friday night.
Feeling this Black August and its all right.
Trying to get my head light.
Weight down by the hysterics at night
All things as promised,
All things delivered,
Lord raise me up, for you deliver us
But this life is evil.
Left insane by the real,
A crystal blue sensation
A crystal clear perception
The Magnificence
Satisfied by the raw deliverance
I finally see what the sinners get
Leaves me incensed
Baptized by the waters
The dirt and lawlessness
In far too many ways its what we all get.
Can’t even make an allowance
The law is sacrificed for the
Wages of the lawless
The owners and pawners
Imagine what they call us
From the steps of their palace
Looking down with malice
I’ll be better by thrice,
I’m celebrating Black August tonight.
And it’s ALL right!
