I don't usually use those big words Cause I don't usually deal with big people I find you can get a whole lot of small people And whip hell out of a whole lot of big people Murder murder murder kill kill kill Cannibals walk the earth and get I'll blood spill Eyes sunk deep in their skull their bone chill Few for survival most for the thrill Terrorism is the war of the poor Hold up a mirror so the script get flipped Cause when it's in reverse it ain't wrong no more Warfare's the terrorism of the rich Who's the true guerilla When the bomb on your body killing innocent civilians But a life is a life and a killer is a killer You're at a desk chillin' push a button kill a million See the anguish of the parents When they're carrying the body of the baby that they cherish When innocent people perish It's a very thin line between a soldier and a terrorist Murder murder kill kill kill Death and destruction a cap get pealed Harm or heal destroy and rebuild Shots still ring out the blood still spill Murder murder kill kill kill Death and destruction a cap get pealed Harm or heal destroy and rebuild Shots still ring out the blood still spill Overseas we can mutilate and mangle Let me give you an example what our troops are coming back to Cold cities where the youth are getting strangled The community in peril and our future looking narrow Your school already failed you The boys in blue will nail you they salute you with a barrel The streets are a certified dead zone Decorated with chalk lines and headstones All the way live and every night the bullets flying Even if you ain't dying you a traumatized survivor When you grow up in a climate of overriding violence You will never get beyond it it's always alive inside you And death just surrounds you Fallen classmates' ghosts haunt you Crime just calls you cause you look at what you walk through Ain't certain if you'll make it ain't sure you even want to Murder murder kill kill kill Death and destruction a cap get pealed Harm or heal destroy and rebuild Shots still ring out the blood still spill Murder murder kill kill kill Death and destruction a cap get pealed Harm or heal destroy and rebuild Shots still ring out the blood still spill Choir Tears and sorrow block the sunlight Head low heart broke eyes closed tongue-tied Waters raise the tide is climbing Speeding time the sky is crying Shots are fired bombs and sirens War and riots mourning in america Now that society forgot you And they locked you in an obstacle course where nothing's possible If you slip up and they caught you They got boxes where they lock you make a million dollars off you They rule you too rude to school They screw you in a booth shoot electricity through you Or inject death into you On a television set and let it ooze through you Every time a leader tries to stand up for our freedom Someone claps them with the heater their brain and back leaking A shame their family grieving the only way to see them Is a displaced dream displayed in a museum They say they built our nation for a reason Then they stained it with the bleeding of the slaves that never seen it I ain't hating I still want to believe it And I'm not trying to leave it I just call it how I see it Murder murder kill kill kill Death and destruction a cap get pealed Harm or heal destroy and rebuild Shots still ring out the blood still spill Murder murder kill kill kill Death and destruction a cap get pealed Harm or heal destroy and rebuild Shots still ring out the blood still spill They haven't got anything to lose And they've got everything to gain And they'll let you know in a minute It takes two to tango. when I go, you go
