[Intro] Take a piece of America back It's called truth...
[Verse 1: Talib Kweli]
We the last of the vintage flow'ers we carry it on our shoulders I keep my friends close and the devils a lot closer When the freedom writers approach them, their appetite is.. Soldiers of fortune ain't never no match for soldiers of culture My flow is so f*cking honest, you said you wanna to hear it Ur lying, cause all you wanted was for me to lift up your spirits The truth is too fucking ugly and trust me the shit got layers U touch me, you think you tough, leave u toothless as rugby players, Them soofees say us, discussing the true saviours, we move with the gangstas You niggas sweeter than the fruit flavors, the booth slayer, Proving it's futile to hide from us, u misguided as missiles or Suicide bombers taking orders from the Mal and waiting for karma to pull up.. Their stones are no match for bullets Israeli rachets are fuller Gotta race to meet Allah like they chasing them with a cop car Like there's honor in being a martyr and a terrorist is a rockstar Dodging the Abu Dhabi or dodging the paparazzi Still probably as popular as swastikas for nazis, The cops protect the property, Properly, when they crack your heads, Murderous get us cocky, persious when the cracker dead I wonder what be running through these crackers' heads So my niggas is spilling more blood than Cincinatti castle blacker red? I'll take an Actifed, go back to bed, allergic to the fumes Having a funeral for the news cause the facts is dead. The trust is gone from the neocons to Barrack Obama America eats its young from Casey Anthony to the Octomom Fix it and mix it up, like Marshall Law for the Octagon, I spit the fire til it burn down Babylon

The Catholic church claimed women were witches And burned 'em at the stake Pedophile predators attacking .38 Beretta used by Ghandi's assassin 16 bullets in Malcolm, It happened uptown Manhattan And the homicide, Reagan, '80s epidemic of crack And soldiers in action dying in Iraq and never coming back And now let's...
