My thought's like a fire My words bomb heads Of those who control our future, thoughts and facts No compromise wit' your disguise The ignorance still builds the lies That my ears are pressed to hear No fear, no fear And put tha machine out of gear I'll write it all on the truncheon wall Wanna know how high it is? Ask the Police The suckers are gonna rape your peace Wit' scenes of their schemes not seen on SCRN screen Attackin' brains, stealin' our names Rebel against the game Burn passivity to flames Bitter rhyme... Yea, the rhythm's gonna get into your veins Gotta do what I gotta do No longer bound in chains Gotta yell, gotta amplify but never ever bolt The mike in my hands demands: Check 'em out and revolt! CHORUS: Wit' a mind full of freedom fire The mind yearnin' for waken The mind ready for rebellion that must be taken A portrait of Che on the wall Reminds us revolutionaries never fall Be fussing and fighting like Marley said My home in a riot zone Tears are shed We are dead but gonna always rise again And again and again And this will never end Down with the R-U-L-E-S Put tha middle finger in the air to rules of distress To structure built on basis wrong but so strong Sing this song Shut 'em down Come along The place we dwell should be named a cell The education system teaches us to be for sale The status quo is so-called logical Whether I disapprove they call me a radical I'd rather be radical than a silent coward Remember 1968 Yea, what a world! CHORUS The world reality is drawn in a lake Of misunderstanding, the fraud, the fake Now it's the time to fuck the dogma Or stand in line and forget about ourselves We're locked in a cage full of ratty smell So we must stand up and break the human cell Keep the insight of your radical mind And bring the light back to mankind |
