[M-1: over "Whoa!" beat]

the cops stop you just cause you black THAT'S WAR

run your prints through the system THAT'S WAR

when they call my hood a drug zone THAT'S WAR

slum lords charge me for the rent THAT'S WAR

why they so rich and we poor THAT'S WAR

if you young and black you sell crack THAT'S WAR

the White House is the rock house THAT'S WAR

George Bush coming out his mouth THAT'S

WAR chillen on the corner with your gang THAT'S WAR

popo do the same damn thing THAT SWAR

when they murdered Amado Dialo THAT'S WAR

marching through the streets is a strategy of WAR

knowing self defense is a strategy of WAR

soldiers try to link with other soldiers THAT'S WAR

Revolutionaries gotta know the art of WAR

What about hip hop use that fuck a rap battle what about a gat battle lets

take it to the beast and see which cat tattle

Is it 'Kiss vs. Beans or P vs. Hov'

What about the real niggaz vs. the 5-0

This is M-1, DP, don't you forget

Cause you can talk talk talk but it don't mean shit

I ain't gotta pop your top to see where your brains went

This rap shit is bigger then entertainment

It's the people vs. the pigs when it all boils down

It ain't 'Pac vs. Big it;s whos getting the power

And power ain't money dog its self determination

Like taking Hot and making this the real People's Station

THAT'S WAR
