[00:37.55] Come on!

[00:42.35] Uggh!

[00:58.99] Come on, although ya try to discredit

[01:02.64] Ya still never edit

[01:03.90] The needle, I'll thread it

[01:05.39] Radically poetic

[01:06.65] Standin' with the fury that they had in '66

[01:09.90] And like E-Double I'm mad

[01:11.39] Still knee-deep in the system's shit

[01:13.65] Hoover, he was a body remover

[01:15.80] I'll give ya a dose

[01:17.05] But it'll never come close

[01:18.55] To the rage built up inside of me

[01:21.95] Fist in the air, in the land of hypocrisy

[01:24.85] Movements come and movements go

[01:27.01] Leaders speak, movements cease

[01:28.40] When their heads are flown

[01:30.07] 'Cause all these punks

[01:31.31] Got bullets in their heads

[01:32.70] Departments of police, the judges, the feds

[01:35.95] Networks at work, keepin' people calm

[01:38.39] You know they went after King

[01:39.78] When he spoke out on Vietnam

[01:41.53] He turned the power to the have-nots

[01:44.84] And then came the shot

[01:56.57] Yeah!

[02:04.24] Yeah, back in this...

[02:09.77] Wit' poetry, my mind I flex

[02:11.91] Flip like Wilson, vocals never lackin' dat finesse

[02:15.16] Whadda I got to, whadda I got to do to wake ya up

[02:18.17] To shake ya up, to break the structure up

[02:20.66] 'Cause blood still flows in the gutter

[02:22.92] I'm like takin' photos

[02:24.66] Mad boy kicks open the shutter

[02:26.41] Set the groove

[02:27.66] Then stick and move like I was Cassius

[02:29.31] Rep the stutter step

[02:30.45] Then bomb a left upon the fascists

[02:32.20] Yea, the several federal men

[02:34.59] Who pulled schemes on the dream

[02:36.34] And put it to an end

[02:37.60] Ya better beware

[02:38.84] Of retribution with mind war

[02:40.60] 20/20 visions and murals with metaphors

[02:43.60] Networks at work, keepin' people calm

[02:45.85] Ya know they murdered X

[02:47.10] And tried to blame it on Islam

[02:49.24] He turned the power to the have-nots

[02:51.50] And then came the shot

[03:29.65] Uggh!

[03:34.35] What was the price on his head?

[03:39.69] What was the price on his head!

[03:45.64] I think I heard a shot

[03:51.06] I think I heard a shot

[03:56.46] I think I heard a shot

[04:02.55] I think I heard a shot

[04:14.57] I think I heard a shot

[04:24.46] I think I heard, I think I heard a shot

[04:36.40] 'He may be a real contender for this position should he

[04:39.41] abandon his supposed obediance to white liberal doctrine

[04:42.90] of non-violence...and embrace black nationalism'

[04:48.55] 'Through counter-intelligence it should be possible to

[04:58.21] pinpoint potential trouble-makers...And neutralize them,

[05:01.62] neutralize them, neutralize them'

[05:05.46] Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!

[05:17.10] Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!

[05:52.10] How long? Not long, cause what you reap is what you sow
