What Are You Afraid of?

What are you afraid of? What do you think I'm made of?/

I'm just flesh and blood, just like your beloved mayor/

You spit hate on me 'cause I express my views/

arrest my crew 'cause we disrespected you/

but we never elected you, never selected you/

to run our lives and choose what direction to move/

You and yours, practice active abusement/

Act as friends and distract us with illusions/

Class us as stupid, what do you think we're blind?/

We don't need a stick to find all the lies that lies behind/

They erase my life if I'm not keeping the pace of time/

it's like my future is figured out by amazing masterminds/

I'm the last to sign, you can't buy me to be quiet/

even though you got guns and copyright on being violent/

What you expect me to do, standin' still?/

Who protects us from you when you plan to kill?/

Chorus:

What are the leaders afraid of?/

Truths and rights, I tell you straight up/

So listen up it's time we break up/

from slavery so tear the chains up/

What are the leaders afraid of?/

Truths and rights, I tell you straight up/

So listen up it's time we wake up/

and see the lies that they're make up/

What are you afraid of? It's you that rape us/

that's why we leave your buildings and trains covered in spraydust/

Blame us for making violent tracks/

inspiring cats to give you higher crime stats/

But tell me how is that supposed to happen?/

it's not us that walk around these evil streets pistolpackin'/

and it's not we that believe that/

the cops do their job for the best of the people, and that we need that/

Don't wanna see that, that's why you're still asleep/

that's why you killin' me, that's why you makin' a million a week/

That's why money is the most powerful weapon/

that's why you step on us before asking any questions/

That's why graffiti is organized crime/

that's why the cops stalk writers nighttime/

And that's why I'm still spittin' and say that I trust none/

that's why me and P got stopped by Canadian customs/

Chorus

What are you afraid of? What do you think I'm made of?/

To you I'm just a number, easy to put the blame on/

and shame on us if we stand out from your standards/

You want us all in handcuffs, answering the right answers/

makin' the right music, eatin' the right food/

behave a certain way with the right attitude/

read the right books, watch the right TV-shows/

supportin' the right crooks by giving the right votes/

but we no mix up with no politrix/

we no suckin' dicks on leaders only interested in where the dollars is/

kids keep on holler this/

life is eternal. Yo Embee it's time we stoppin' this/
