[Intro: Revolutionary] Today we are together, we are unified and on runnin' cower When we are together we got power That is why we gathered today, celebratin' our own....
[Chuck D] We spit flows on foes Listen to the message that you never know Got a plan for the man and it's federal The rhyme animal, back to play the part again Clear the madness, and put the message in D, the Enemy is back to rip the mic We come together, so don't believe the hype Check my tone, there's a war here at home We united and strong, and never move alone
[Paris] We rep justice, equality and freedom now Put fam first, man, woman and child Never mild, keep it hostile 'til we raise Where we say, what we mean and we mean what we say It's been a long time comin' that we mob as one Guerrilla Funk, Hard Truth nigga, that's what's up No peace on the street 'til the justice come From the ballot to the bullet, if it's on, it's on
[Chorus: Paris] I ain't lettin' nothin' hold me back or block me They gon' have to pop me to stop me See, I ain't lettin' nothin' hold me back or block me They gon' have to pop me to stop me Believe, I ain't lettin' nothin' hold me back or block me They gon' have to pop me to stop me My brother, I ain't lettin' nothin' hold me back or block me They gon' have to pop me to stop me That's real talk on the one
[Professor Griff] Yo, yo, yo, yo, I'm a target, I got proof My buildin' got an 'X' on it Bloomberg threw the hex on it It's like a pistol with effects on it On a nigga with arrest warrants Hittin' pigs in their chests Quadrant where they vest wasn't Now he dead cousin All you snitches hit the red buttons, we some Uncle-Tom killers Mini-nina concealers, political cap-peelers for this freedom for rilla
[Dead Prez] Yo, if police stop the whip you got to eat them trees I ain't got no 'G' to give it to them crackers and court fees You know my steez, security first, prepare for the worst Never caught slippin' if you stay on alert Malcolm X said send them to the cemetery if they touch you A revolutionary virtue, a dull blade'll hurt you I'm up early workin' my machete In war, it ain't no warning, you just got to be ready
[Chorus: Dead Prez w/ Minor Variations] I ain't lettin' nothin' hold me back or block me They gon' have to pop me to stop me My nigga, I ain't lettin' nothin' hold me back or block me They gon' have to pop me to stop me My nigga, I ain't lettin' nothin' hold me back or block me They gon' have to pop me to stop me You see, I ain't lettin' nothin' hold me back or block me They gon' have to pop me to stop me, yeah, uha
[KAM] Yeah, my nigga it's bigger than rap You really think you gon' be left alone On sayin' that you believe and ain't gon' have to get your scrap on? Then yap on, and will see if that's the right route While I get my clap on and turn niggas' lights out I tried to be nice, now we gon' have to bleed them I'm willin' to do a killin' for the price of freedom "that's right" Comin' from the left, nigga, hood is how we kept it "right" So prison or death is just somethin' I done accepted So we'll murder a snake, and we'll kill a skunk "that's right" This ain't the word of a fake, it's Guerrilla Funk So right now is the time and you turf the location Y'all about to see the Rebirth Of a Nation Even if some got de-rebelized The revolution still will not be televised U.S. Government tellin' hell of lies And it's evident, when you look in this president's devil eyes
