We dont control sht
No education
Enforcement
Economics
Depending on governments
Forever in a plantation state
Damn this is why i hate hate
Wanna do something for the people
Make us equal

Who got human features

Hip hop heads to shook to pull the cover off it.
It may effect there sales tip the scale
The way it looks they'll end up dead or in jail.
We busy spinning and grinning on 26's you sitting
Change your god for your wealth thinking heaven your gettin.
You must be pre-sistance in mass resistance
Love thy enemy and make this committment
To engage in struggle, with a clench fist lift it
Be true to self before the GOD end this.
Yo! Public enemy we back in your...
