专辑:《The Martyr》

The ghetto is like a prison, with invisible bars
No matter where you ride, it always follows you where you are
And it's hard out there, for a pimp to get outta
But it's harder for the hooker that he beat the **** outta

I got ****** underground in the Confederate States
Ironically runnin' from slavery that prison creates
So I never hate on the south, I respect they vision
I just hate on ****** that promote Samboism
And white execs that love to see us in that position

They reflect the stereotypes of America's vision

They want us dancing, cooning and hollering
Only respect us for playing sports and modeling
More than racism, it's stay in your place-ism
More people are trapped in practical blackface-ism
So **** a Civil War between the North and the South
It's between field ****** and slaves that are stuck in the house

Civil war for the soul of a nation
This is a struggle to save civilization
Demonstrations overthrowing the occupation
The annihilation of mental colonization

Civil war for the soul of a nation

We fight for the future of our civilization

Destroy the corrupt government organizations
Trying to survive cultural assassination
Crip ******, Blood *****, ese's, Asians
Why the **** we warring with each other's population?

The devil wanna dead all our population
People in Folk nation, why the separation?
Why we got Jamaicans hatin' on Haitians
When the British and French raped both nations?
Mexicans and Blacks kill each other, straight hating

While the government profits from prison population

If you on the bottom, be you Anglo or Asian
You gotta recognize the realness of what I'm sayin'
You gotta recognize another G ain't the enemy
When the police ride to kill us frequently
We gotta make the youth see, where the truth be
If you a G, then grow and develop GD
50 years of gangs and our people still poor
If we really run the streets, we should really end war

Civil war for the soul of a nation

This is a struggle to save civilization
Demonstrations overthrowing the occupation
The annihilation of mental colonization
Civil war for the soul of a nation

We fight for the future of our civilization
Destroy the corrupt government organizations
Trying to survive cultural assassination
Listen, our hearts were torn apart just like y'all was

Watching towers full of souls fall to sawdust
Everytime we called your office you ignored us
Now you holding hearings on us all inside a Congress
Microscopes on us, ask if we're Jihadists

My answer was in line with all of the Founding Fathers

I think Patrick said it best; Give me liberty or death

I shall never accept anything less

You claim innocence, you play victimless
But you gave the kiss of death in the name of self defense

Slavery and theft have brought the nations to the end

Of pacifying your citizenry with excess

We believe in freedom, justice, security
But they're only pure when they're applied universally

So certainly if I rage against the machine
My aim was only to clean the germs out of the circuitry

Heard you need putting fear inside your heart

Make you burn Qu'rans and tell me not to build a mosque
Me, my wife and babies we ain't never made jihad
We just want to touch our heads to the floor and talk to God

Ask him to remove every blemish from my heart
The greatest threat of harm doesn't come from any bomb
The moment you refuse the human rights of just a few
What happens when that few includes you?
Civil war
