LYRICS

Killing us one by one

In one way or another

America will find a way to eliminate the problem

One by one

The problem is the troublesome black youth of the ghetto’s

And one by one

We are being wiped off the face of this earth

At an extremely alarming rate

And even more alarming is the fact

That we are not fighting back

Brothers, sisters, niggas

When I say “nigga” it is not the nigga we have grown to fear

It is not the nigga we say as if it has no meaning

But to me it means Never Ignorant Getting Goals Accomplished, nigga

Niggas, what are we going to do?

Walk blind into a line or fight

Fight and die if we must die, like niggas

This is for the masses, the lower classes

The ones you left out, jobs were giving, better living

But we were kept out

Made to feel inferior, but we’re superior

Break the chains in our brains that made us fear ya

Pledge allegiance to a flag that neglects us

Honour a man that refuses to respect us

Emancipation Proclamation? Please!

Lincoln just said that to save the nation

These are lies that we all accepted

Say no to drugs but the governments’ kept it

Running through our community, killing the unity

The war on drugs is a war on you and me

And yet, they say this is the Home of The Free

But if you ask me, it’s all about hypocrisy

The constitution, Yo, it don’t apply to me

And Lady Liberty? Stupid bitch lied to me

This made me strong, and no one’s gonna like what I’m pumpin’

But it’s wrong to keep someone from learning something

So get up, it’s time to start nation building

I’m fed up, we gotta start teach the children

That they can be all that they want to be

There’s much more to life than just poverty

This is definitely uh… words of wisdom

AMERICA! AMERICA! AMERIK-K-KA

I charge you with the crime of rape, murder, and assault

For suppressing and punishing my people

I charge you with robbery for robbing me of my history

I charge you with false imprisonment for keeping me

Trapped in the projects

And the jury finds you guilty on all accounts

And you are to serve the consequences of your evil schemes

Prosecutor, do you have any more evidence?

Words of Wisdom

Based upon the strength of a nation

Conquer the enemy armed with education

Protect yourself, reach for what you want to do

Know thyself, teach by what we’ve been through

Armed with the knowledge of the place we’ve been

No one will ever oppress this race again

No Malcolm X in my history text, why’s that?

‘Cause he tried to educate and liberate all blacks

Why is Martin Luther King in my book each week?

He told blacks, if they get smacked, turn the other cheek

I don’t get it, so many questions went through my mind

I get sweated, they act like asking questions is a crime

But forget it, cause one day I’m gonna prove them wrong

Not every brother had his mother on the welfare line

The American Dream, though it seems like it’s attainable

They’re pulling your sleeve, don’t believe

‘Cause it will strangle ya

Pulling the life of your brain, I can’t explain

Beg as you can obtain from which you came

Swear that your mother is living in equality

Forgetting your brother that’s living in poverty

Thought they had us beaten when they took out King

But the battle ain’t over till the black man sings

Words of Wisdom

The battle ain’t over ’till the black man sings

Words of Wisdom

NIGHTMARE! That’s what I am

America’s nightmare

I am what you made me

The hate and the evil that you gave me

I shine as a reminder of what you’ve done to my people

For Four hundred plus years

You should be scared

You should be running

You should be trying to silence me

Ha, but you cannot escape fate

For it is my turn to come

Just as you rose you will fall

By my hands

America, you reap what you sow
