See they got we on camera they spot me.
Worse than the paparazzi.
Lights camera them shot we not a good time for sloppy clean up.
Hello (what up)
You know the story well.
My people, your people cointel.
So we the people tell them people to go to hell.
Surviellance society be eyeing we well
Swinging swords let the lions rebel.
So much lying you fail to see the proof falsely accused jailed. Locked up shakled and chained.
No time for change, we need a revolution not what they say.
They mean change like guantanamo bay.
I mean change like 1804. sak pase map boulé Amandla.
I'm reading Mandela keeping the strength
Reflection in acapella. Free tarek(tariq) mehanna
And all political prisoners. From low to maximum.
Free them like assata no time for asking them.
Cause you going be next if threaten the system they got we.
See they got we on camera they spot me.
Worse than the paparazzi.
Lights camera they shot me not a good time for sloppy clean up.
Beyond tap phones and emails.
Coded text red flags And details.
They don't need that.
They'll take your grandma if she utters the fact "something wrong" Handcuffs slap clap.
When they say war on the terrorist.
That's synonomous hand in hand with war on the innocent.
See something say something I've been seeing alot.
And I've been saying till my voice hoarse they kill us with cops. Use military tactics on they own population.
And I ain't talking Afghanistan.
I'm talking this nation. Home of the racist. USA.
Land of hypocrites. AmeriKKK.
Where tea parties can openly protest, plot and scheme.
And kill you for the amerikan dream.
But I don't sleep.
So fuck amerikan dreams. I stay awake like giraffes
Overseing the scene.u
See they got we on camera they spot me.
Worse than the paparazzi.
Liights camera they shot me not a good time for sloppy clean up.
We good at letter writing we good at freedom fighting.
This song is my post card stamped delivered.
Keep praying inshallah. Strengthen the spirit.
You'll be free with the people til then we given.
Everything that we got. Plus a little more.
In the streets we marching. Your cause on tour.
You're an inspiration. And a whole lot more.
Hidden chains don't break you. We break chains and walls.
Treat like a slave in a cage but you soar.
Spreading wings of freedom. Surpass steel doors.
Your resistance like warriors before.
We adore what you represent tarek (tariq) stay strong.
It's time for the people to wake up.
Don't get caught up when they try to shake up.
Realeyes. Surpass (see pass) make up.
Government spies shift to shape up. You don't know.
We don't fight to loose.
So long our people been singing them blues.
We don't fight to loose.
Too long but know we winning them.
