One Day As A Lion

Blood soaked earth that you call home

Close your eyes but don't sleep

We comin' like peoples army

For the people who can't eat

Who work with no sleep

For the child

With no shoes on their feet

A generation who flash heat

Who role up on the banks

For their cash see

You're the criminal?

You got the nerve to ask me

Tear mics till my voice get raspy

Faced flame for five centuries

And if la were baghdad we'd be iraqi

With our straps in the backseat

Next to a general tied up

With shit in his khakis

Best leave my mic alone I'm full grown

And I'm off to the green zone

After dark my city's a fuse

After dark my city's a fuse

One day I say today we live as a lion

Blood soaked earth that you call home

I heard this cat got life in the pen

Crossing sand in the back of a truck bed

Twelve deep heard sirens and lights red

Was smacked on his dome with the club of

A white fed

No food no water no rights read

He came north to keep his seeds

And his wife fed

In the middle of the darkest night bled

Stepped to the law and said

You a minuteman wait a minute man

Talk like that might limit your life span

After dark my city's a fuse

One day I say today we live as a lion

And when our cubs grow

We'll show you what war is good for
