Lyrics
I don't in anyway encourage black people to go out and initiate acts of aggression indiscriminately against whites
But i do believe that the black man in the United States and any human being, anywhere
Is well within his right to do whatever is necessary by any means necessary
To protect his life and property especially
In a country where the federal government itself is proven that it is either unable or unwilling to protect the lives And property of those human beings
I'm ready to retire peace
And grab my heat
And hit the streets
They got it out for me
They wanna see me bleed
Or on my knees
I pray to god that he/the most high
Will cover me and my family
They pray to god that he
Will kill me slowly
There's a war goin on outside you cant escape from
You can run but you cant hide forever
There's a war goin on inside no man is safe from
You can run but you can hide forever
So much poverty
That so many
Are suffering
The way economy
And Society
Make it hard to breathe
Pray for serenity
In order to proceed
Irenically
Without legerity / disparity
There's no relief/ to make the killing cease
Thats my belief
There's a war goin on outside no man is safe from
You can run you can but you can't run forever
There's a war goin on outside no man is safe from
You can run you can but you can't run forever
There's a war goin on inside you can escape from
You can run but you can't hide forever
There's a war goin on outside no man is safe from
You can run but you can't hide forever
It's really hard to see
People dying
That look like me
I think of my seeds
11 13 and growing like weeds
This shits been goin on too long Ive had enough
It's time to let these wind cutters speak
For us
There's a war
And these streets will speak for themselves whether Im alive or dead
I trust you guys
I love you guys
We'll keep this space open
This is the last strong hold for civil discourse
After this shit its just raay ti tat tat tat tat
