Tension in the air
 Racism
 Violence everywhere
 Davis  Howard Beach
 Bumpers and Brawley
 It appalls me
 Now it's there
 Really racial justice
 It's time that we discussed this
 I'm disgusted
 I don't trust it
 What's this
 About
 New evidence brings doubt
 On who took King out
 Must have had clout
 Took the Kennedy route
 Witness
 Stories contradict and
 Confliction make Black men
 Say it had to end
 It won't happen again
 Pump your fist (3x)
 Can you hear me
 Hittin' home
 Knowledge
 Is the danger zone
 Liars and bigots
 And hypocrites start to panic
 They get frantic
 Power
 Generated by the truth
 Time to educate the youth
 The lust for money
 Is out of control
 Here's proof
 Drugs
 Always a tragic ending
 And at the risk of spending
 Time in jail
 Caught on a bum sale
 They persist
 Knowin' death's a risk
 Ignorance is bliss
 Chump their face
 Kill their race
 They deserved to get dissed
 Pump your fist (3x)
 We feel the wrath
 From what happened in the past
 Has made us walk a path
 Made by slavery
 Though bravery
 We lost
 Our unity our source
 Of power and we lost
 All race pride
 In our Holocaust
 Now it's my creed
 I'm from a stronger breed
 My ancestors indeed had to bleed
 Whipped 'till they were freed
 And now
 I look back and say wow
 How did we allow
 Physical slavery
 I just don't ever again
 See it now I vow
 Pump your fist (3x)
 But are we free
 In actuality
 Let's talk reality
 Can't you see
 The slave mentality
 It's a sickness
 That eats you up like cancer
 And money's not the answer
 Won't advance ya
 Don't take a chance ya
 Lame
 Selling drugs for fame
 That's the weak man's game
 It's a shame
 You got the chains on your brain
 You're givin'
 Drugs to kids and livin'
 Half your life in prison
 God's for givin'
 But you got to work with him
 Pump your fist (3x)
 Distortion confusion
 Equality illusion
 Justice collusion
 No racism delusion
 History erased it
 Lives wasted
 Victory tasted
 Drugs face it
 Knowledge wisdom
 Educational system
 Blurred vision
 Lies dis 'em
 Voice loud
 Black proud
 Truth vowed
 No sellouts allowed
 Pump your fist (3x
