Chorus: 2X (first time a capella)

Somebody scream bloody murder, inside of my head

The exuctioner's plot controlled by the feds

Take illegal action, they want Mumia dead

This nation of savages been trying to kill us for years

[Tragedy Khadafi]

Yo, federal indictment, militant mind enlightment

Son, we outburst, in the court room, full of excitement

Face the jury, thugged out, with blind fury

They want us all under the jail, end of the story

Brave and heartless, we can have a million marches

But when you black you under attack, son regardless

Live by the gun, dunn, and die by the gun

And revolutionize minds until freedom come

[Black Thought]

Check it out, they wants och locked down boxed up in the ground

It's war time now from how the sufferin sound

We deep in the realm, the planet petrified overwhelmed

We all stars livin life out on surveilance film

New World law enforced, mind rape, cerebral holocaust

No escape, fire for burn the execution date

shatter, We on the front lines prepare

I want Mumia out the cage the time for action is here

[Pharaohe Monch]

Yo, the attempted assassination of Mumia Jabal, they set'im up

I come to find out, Tupac they wet'im up

Pharaohe, standin behind my fucking curtains

with a double-barrle rehearsin

Ready for war now for certain

Uh, biological warfare suits

Black gas masks, black boots, half-assed niggas become troops

My dunns are doper warriors than ?? now

Plenty thug niggas are fruity now

Chorus: 2X

[Chuck D]

??? the illusion, cause I see my peoples losin

The overall battle to keep Republic rats from chosin

Afterall, I feel the bruisin of the constitution

When my back's against the wall, manifestin in their destiny

Shit they just testin me, Mumia's spirit blessin me

No alibi, I know Allah is not their alli

I believe I can fly, but their type of freedom is a lie

So fuck the government, C.I.A. and F.B.I.

[Last Emperor]

Shatan will destroy anything for the right price

In a physical world one man cannot die twice

To the spiritual world your soul cannot fly twice

Yet could this be the second time they crucified Christ?

Ask Ed Asnor, the actor, after the execute'im

There will be a peasant uprising like the French Revolution

In conclusion, if you detect evil

Free the voice of the voiceless, defender of oppressed people

[Dead Prez]

I say, "fuck the police," cause they been killin us for years

This ain't no free country, niggas get murdered for their ideas

Free Mumia means all Africans let go

Cause just livin in the ghetto puts you on death row

You don't know? You seen how the tried to do Assata

Till some real niggas organized theyselves and went and got'er

Lotta crackers verbalize if Mumia dies, fire in the skies

But only time'll tell the truth from the lies

Chorus: 3X
