Lyrics
0:29I ain't got no home ain't got no shoes
0:33Ain't got no money ain't got no class
0:38Ain't got no friends ain't got no schooling
0:42Ain't got no hurt ain't got no job
0:46Ain't got no money no place to stay
0:51Ain't got no
0:52Programmed inequity it's in the nervous system
0:53Listen watch the words how they twist 'em
0:55Two thirds of the world turned victim
0:56Subtle energy they capture and block chi
0:58The unseen violence behind the democracy
1:00Some call it hypocrisy turn freeman into property
1:02And logically justify not treatin em properly
1:05Invisible ink in the constitution
1:07Meant to preserve the institution unequal distribution
1:09Of wealth goods and services
1:10Revolvin' door no floor just anxiety and nervousness
1:12Trapped in circuses
1:15Herds of us not understandin' our purposes
1:18When appetites and psychological types
1:20Get caught in the hype it's tight from morning 'til night
1:22I'm demanding my rights
1:23Women's suffrage then black suffrage
1:25Or jim crow the kkk
1:27American terrorism
1:29Murders and beatings on television
1:31It's in the cells now you thought that was yesterday
1:33But the compression stays trauma still got most afraid
1:35Stuck in the memory fear gives birth to lethargy
1:38Sure the races of children in jeopardy
1:40History written in jealousy scribed full of heresy
1:42Full of barbarians ch-ch-check out my melody
1:44Musical therapy reprogram
1:47Africa full of coal tan
1:49Coltrane was a cold man
1:50Black genius in a cold land tryna be the whole man
1:53Heal the homeland
1:54The pastime for our own land
1:56Where a grown man can be a grown man
1:57The system has benefits but robbery is robbery
1:59You can't run from it god is a natural monopoly
2:02Divine creator suckin' monotony
2:03Bureaucracy psyche on poverty
2:04Self-esteem broken like pottery
2:06No more not me codename anomaly
2:08Cause there's just no match for the prodigy
2:10Sovereignty the god in me
2:12Walking university living cosmology
2:14Without apology
2:14I've got life
2:19I've got life
2:23I've got lyrics and music
2:25And mankind too like you you you you you
2:31OK
2:32The more you suppress life the stronger it gets
2:34With death life the longer it gets
2:35I know it s hard to admit
2:37That you follow some bullshit
2:38Swallow the wrong pill looking for mr bill
2:40Repression oppression same thing same thing
2:42Fear the shadow that s the main thing same thing
2:44Where you keep running from
2:45Every action yields an equal and opposite one
2:47Yes that means the consequence comes
2:49Feel so cumbersome back breaking labor
2:51Can't be here just for the cummerbund
2:53I was homecoming queen call me number one
2:55Yea that's another one now give the drummer some
2:58Tell every mother's son expression can be far more powerful than a hundred guns
3:01See my kalashnikov lyrics with the safety off
3:05Now dance around these niggas like baryshnikov
3:07Street sweeper my words are my keeper
3:09It's in the ether
3:12It's done let loose your tongue
3:13Gifted black and young
3:14Watch these devils run
3:16They knew a change was gonna come
3:18Sinner man looking for a place to run
3:20Hella cute then tongues enemy reduced by one
3:222000 and 1000 flight
3:24Speak truth to power every 24 hours
3:27I've got life
3:49Imperialism is a form of jihad
3:50They killed and enslaved millions for gold bullion in the name of god
3:53The children of man called it spiritual famine
3:55Can we examine how they stole bauxite rubber labor diamonds and platinum
3:58The building blocks of society and economy broke humanity to build the colonies
4:03Using reverse psychology to keep us from knowing our quality
4:06No more human tragedy no more mis-recognition no more addiction
4:09Let s accurately diagnose our condition
4:12Listen
4:13400 years of the abuse and misuse of religion
4:15Don t give me another person s prescription
4:17I need what I need my deeds are my deeds
4:19As a man thinketh so is he mezanmi
4:22Take the land back every child woman and man back
4:24Reevaluate history expeditiously
4:26Can't live my life in apostasy
4:27Emulate the apostrophe hang with s you can rock with me
4:30I come in love and truth
4:31Look at what I went through
4:32Now it s time to acknowledge just what I give you life
4:36I've got life
4:58There's a whole lotta wrong to be righted I get excited
5:00I'm a kick this sh*t off like
5:02I'm on Manchester united & my attention is undivided
5:04So you can't divide and conquer me
5:05I'm sitting comfortably in a SUV up in my SUV taking artistic liberties
5:10Making musical history a lil' acupuncture structural integration
5:14My meditation liberating a generation & beyond that
5:17I'm taking the bomb back I'm splitting atoms for freedom
5:19America needs more freed men able to talk right
5:21Not prone to greed men it's just not what you need man
5:25Let your words and deeds line up master the mind young king man
5:27Put your signs up intelligent designs up plant your seeds
5:30Keep your dimes up cuz no man knows when the time's up
5:33It's elemental like Solomon in the temple
5:35Ark of the covenant accountable to a higher government
5:38I'm looking for love in all the wrong places
5:40Somebody tell me where them brothas went
5:42Reclaim your wealth no more giving the enemy help
5:44No sympathy for the devil let'em hang himself
5:46Get all the billion black people off these bottles
5:48Suffer while grown ppl get coddled you know the novel
