[01:18.94] The ghetto is like a prison, with invisible bars
[01:22.39] No matter where you ride, it always follows you where you are
[01:25.20] And it's hard out there, for a pimp to get outta
[01:28.01] But it's harder for the hooker that he beat the shit outta
[01:30.57]
[01:31.07] I got niggas underground in the Confederate States
[01:34.02] Ironically runnin' from slavery that prison creates
[01:36.71] So I never hate on the south, I respect they vision
[01:39.90] I just hate on niggas that promote Samboism
[01:42.08] And white execs that love to see us in that position
[01:44.71]
[01:45.44] They reflect the stereotypes of America's vision
[01:47.69]
[01:48.44] They want us dancing, cooning and hollering
[01:50.64] Only respect us for playing sports and modeling
[01:53.46] More than racism, it's stay in your place-ism
[01:56.23] More people are trapped in practical blackface-ism
[01:59.28] So fuck a Civil War between the North and the South
[02:02.17] It's between field niggas and slaves that are stuck in the house
[02:05.17]
[02:05.84] Civil war for the soul of a nation
[02:08.35] This is a struggle to save civilization
[02:11.06] Demonstrations overthrowing the occupation
[02:14.07] The annihilation of mental colonization
[02:16.14]
[02:16.99] Civil war for the soul of a nation
[02:19.18]
[02:19.72] We fight for the future of our civilization
[02:21.71]
[02:22.69] Destroy the corrupt government organizations
[02:25.45] Trying to survive cultural assassination
[02:28.51] Crip niggas, Blood nigga, ese's, Asians
[02:31.35] Why the fuck we warring with each other's population?
[02:33.48]
[02:34.21] The devil wanna dead all our population
[02:37.08] People in Folk nation, why the separation?
[02:40.14] Why we got Jamaicans hatin' on Haitians
[02:42.83] When the British and French raped both nations?
[02:45.76] Mexicans and Blacks kill each other, straight hating
[02:47.94]
[02:48.76] While the government profits from prison population
[02:51.13]
[02:51.68] If you on the bottom, be you Anglo or Asian
[02:54.59] You gotta recognize the realness of what I'm sayin'
[02:57.41] You gotta recognize another G ain't the enemy
[03:00.29] When the police ride to kill us frequently
[03:03.16] We gotta make the youth see, where the truth be
[03:06.29] If you a G, then grow and develop GD
[03:09.11] 50 years of gangs and our people still poor
[03:11.54] If we really run the streets, we should really end war
[03:14.23]
[03:15.03] Civil war for the soul of a nation
[03:17.16]
[03:17.72] This is a struggle to save civilization
[03:20.54] Demonstrations overthrowing the occupation
[03:23.48] The annihilation of mental colonization
[03:26.41] Civil war for the soul of a nation
[03:28.66]
[03:29.22] We fight for the future of our civilization
[03:32.07] Destroy the corrupt government organizations
[03:35.01] Trying to survive cultural assassination
[03:37.88] Listen, our hearts were torn apart just like y'all was
[03:40.51]
[03:41.20] Watching towers full of souls fall to sawdust
[03:43.98] Everytime we called your office you ignored us
[03:46.65] Now you holding hearings on us all inside a Congress
[03:49.47] Microscopes on us, ask if we're Jihadists
[03:51.91]
[03:52.56] My answer was in line with all of the Founding Fathers
[03:55.06]
[03:55.62] I think Patrick said it best; Give me liberty or death
[03:58.30]
[03:58.96] I shall never accept anything less
[04:00.46]
[04:01.08] You claim innocence, you play victimless
[04:03.77] But you gave the kiss of death in the name of self defense
[04:06.02]
[04:06.76] Slavery and theft have brought the nations to the end
[04:08.70]
[04:09.77] Of pacifying your citizenry with excess
[04:11.21]
[04:12.56] We believe in freedom, justice, security
[04:15.54] But they're only pure when they're applied universally
[04:17.85]
[04:18.67] So certainly if I rage against the machine
[04:21.09] My aim was only to clean the germs out of the circuitry
[04:23.84]
[04:24.50] Heard you need putting fear inside your heart
[04:26.56]
[04:27.10] Make you burn Qu'rans and tell me not to build a mosque
[04:30.07] Me, my wife and babies we ain't never made jihad
[04:32.78] We just want to touch our heads to the floor and talk to God
[04:35.34]
[04:35.93] Ask him to remove every blemish from my heart
[04:38.57] The greatest threat of harm doesn't come from any bomb
[04:41.33] The moment you refuse the human rights of just a few
[04:44.38] What happens when that few includes you?
[04:46.69] Civil war
[04:47.91]
[04:48.85]
