'Bin Laden' ~ Immortal Technique

[Mos Def - talking]
Man, you hear this bullshit they be talkin'
Every day, man
It's like these motherfuckers is just like professional liars
YouknowwhatI'msayin? It's wild
Listen

[Hook - Mos Def]
Bin Laden didn't blow up the projects
It was you, nigga
Tell the truth, nigga
(Bush knocked down the towers)--[Jadakiss]
Tell the truth, nigga
(Bush knocked down the towers)--[Jadakiss]
Tell the truth, nigga

Bin Laden didn't blow up the projects
It was you, nigga
Tell the truth, nigga
(Bush knocked down the towers)--[Jadakiss]
Tell the truth, nigga
(Bush knocked down the towers)--[Jadakiss]

[Verse 1 - Immortal Technique]
I pledge no allegiance, nigga fuck the president's speeches
I'm baptized by America and covered in leeches
The dirty water that bleaches your soul and your facial features
Drownin' you in propaganda that they spit through the speakers
And if you speak about the evil that the government does
The Patriot Act'll track you to the type of your blood
They try to frame you, and say you was tryna sell drugs
And throw a federal indictment on niggaz to show you love
This shit is run by fake Christians, fake politicians
Look at they mansions, then look at the conditions you live in
All they talk about is terrorism on television
They tell you to listen, but they don't really tell you they mission
They funded Al-Qaeda, and now they blame the Muslim religion
Even though Bin Laden was a CIA tactician
They gave him billions of dollars and they funded his purpose
Fahrenheit 9/11, that's just scratchin' the surface

[Hook]

[Verse 2 - Immortal Technique]
They say the rebels in Iraq still fight for Saddam
But that's bullshit, I'll show you why it's totally wrong
Cuz if another country invaded the hood tonight
It'd be warfare through Harlem, and Washington Heights
I wouldn't be fightin' for Bush or White America's dream
I'd be fightin' for my people's survival and self-esteem
I wouldn't fight for racist churches from the south, my nigga
I'd be fightin' to keep the occupation out, my nigga
You ever clock someone who talk shit, or look at you wrong?
Imagine if they shot at you, and was rapin' your moms
And of course Saddam Hussein had chemical weapons
We sold him that shit, after Ronald Reagan's election
Mercenary contractors fightin' a new era
Corporate military bankin' off the war on terror
They controllin' the ghetto, with the failed attack
Tryna distract the fact that they engineerin' the crack
So I'm strapped like Lee Malvo holdin' a sniper rifle
These bullets'll touch your kids, and I don't mean like Michael
Your body be sent to the morgue, stripped down and recycled
I fire on house niggaz that support you and like you
Cuz innocent people get murdered in the struggle daily
And poor people never get shit and struggle daily
This ain't no alien conspiracy theory, this shit is real
Written on the dollar underneath the Masonic seal

(I don't rap for dead presidents
I'd rather see the president dead
It's never been said but I set precedents)--[Eminem]

[Hook]

(Shady Records was 80 seconds away from the towers
Some cowards fucked with the wrong building, they meant to hit ours)--[Eminem]


'Memorial Day' ~ The Perceptionists

I've got a question..
I've got a question..

Where are the weapons of mass destruction?
We been lookin' for months and we ain't found nothin'
Please Mr. President, tell us something
We knew from the beginning that your ass was bluffing!

[Mr. Lif]
How unfortunate, it wasn't what you thought it kid, in basic training
They taught you how to slay man as a start-up kit
and you showed up with a gun to load up
Hopin' a college education's waitin', maybe a steady occupation
Now you're weighing many lives against yours
President orders, got you on course, with holocaust, Sargent is lost
General's boss, plans cross, now you in the crosshair
of a sniper's shaky scared, shot of your ear
All fucked up now! one round just hit him in his from some young yet expendable citizen
He's from the other side of the line, fightin' for time
Time to see his kids walk, time to talk with his pops
Time to have a rational thought without the thought of bein' shot
(Damn) his gun jammed now you gotta bombart
It's a soldier's suicide slide - know you tried hard to stay alive
When you're catching fire from both sides
and we miss you at home, its time the government truly left you alone
Dropped you off and popped one in your dome
Now we've seen it in Iraq and the Congo - America's motto
"Kill their leader then we build a stronghold!!"

Where are the weapons of mass destruction?
We been lookin' for months and we ain't found nothin'
Please Mr. President, tell us something
We knew from the beginning that your ass was bluffing!

[Akrobatik]
I never thought of this the day that I enlisted
That I'd be dodging bullets, seekin weapons that never even existed
For someone else's personal beef, I risk myself
While the Commander-in-Chief, would never come to fight himself
I feel I'm bein' tricked even worse that the civilians
Nobody ever told me that we would be killin' children!!
Feelin like the ones that sent me here are the psychotics
but if I say that out loud -- I'm "unpatriotic"
but would Donald Rumsfeld back me up with the chrome?
Would Tom Ridge fight or would he stay secure back home?
and would Condoleeza Rice cover grenades in a fox hole?
I'm startin to believe what I was told is not so
What's the reason for the war?
I'm shootin at these people that I got not animosity for
I wonder if I'm just a pawn in someone else's struggle
or a here even though I'm just a small piece of the puzzle
I know that when I finally return where I reside
I'll make up for the months my wife and moms cried
and carry on for all my fallen brothers that died
but you can't take my pride -- cuz I'm a fuckin' SOLDIER

Where are the weapons of mass destruction?
We been lookin' for months and we ain't found nothin'
Please Mr. President, tell us something
We knew from the beginning that your ass was bluffing!

Where are the weapons of mass destruction?
We been lookin' for months and we ain't found nothin'
Please Mr. President, tell us something
We knew from the beginning that your ass was bluffing!

someone prepared to lead the way

    i like this one by Mos Def...

    "War"




    War is a global economic phenomenon

    Ain't a batch of guns on where, hellfire
    Spittin', run up everything they hittin'
    Some do they job to dodge the barrage
    As sleek projectiles never stay bound
    Fire bite invades the night with light
    Loud, fighter planes shout shell rain
    When they shot to kill cops on the terrain
    And leave any brain that may remain stained
    You god damn right this war goin' too far
    Socialists think they converse with the stars
    Wars found, my find the beauty in the stars
    I level with death even beneath radar
    I level with death even beneath radar
    I level with death and she got pretty eyes
    Nobody told me death was so damn fine
    I go to sleep with that girl on my mind
    Wake up in a sea, I wanna fire in line
    Grab my heat, then it's get down time
    One day I'ma make that girl all mine
    But for now I'm a soldier abidin' my time
    Writin' my rhyme behind enemy lines
    Palestine, Kosovo, Cashmere
    No different than the avenues right here
    An increase in the murder rate each year
    Paramilitary unit keep the streets clear
    Curtains up on the theatre of warfare
    Dramatic politics nightly preformed here
    Worldwide from Colombia to Columbine
    Don holders keep ya dollar signs on the line

    "I don't want to rule or conquer anyone
    I should like to help everyone if possible
    Jew, gentile, black man, white
    We all want to help one another
    Human beings are like that
    We want to live by each other's happiness
    Not by each other's misery
    In this world, there's room for everyone
    And the good earth is rich
    And can provide for everyone a way of life"

    Fuck that

    You know the drill
    Fix ya face
    I'ma hustle off the hill
    Go get my money man
    Go get my money man

    See every hunter need to kill
    Go get my money man

    I'm old school from off the hill
    Go get my money man

    Go get my money man
    I give a fuck what I do
    Go get my money man
    Go get my money man
    Go get that money man
    Go get my money man
    Go get that money man
    Gimme my money man
    Gimme my money

    Fuck you, pay me
    Fuck you, pay me
    Fuck you, pay me
    Fuck you, pay me
    Fuck you, pay me
    Fuck you, pay me
    Fuck you, pay me
    Fuck you, pay me
    Gimme the loot, Gimme the loot, Gimme the loot

    i see your mos def and raise you a black star

    [Talib Kweli]

    Yo I was sold to a sick European by a rich African battlin
    Middle Passages, I can't go back again
    Battlin years of denyin history, lies with mysteries
    Wives with misty eyes watchin their niggas be beaten viciously
    Battlin the worldliness and North America
    Ran by the river, only stoppin to pray
    Shaped up predators
    Terrorists with etiquette who vote and kill their president
    Their capacity for evil so evident and prevalent
    Ain't no hesitation they rob, a nation dissolved
    While we sit back waitin to evolve
    Those who would trade in their freedom
    For their protection deserve neither
    Fuck a name, fuck tradition
    Religion - you learn Jesus
    Turn the other cheek
    Inherit the Earth, just stay meek
    Fuck the way you speak
    Try to walk, we chop off your feet
    Fastforward to 2003, niggas beef
    The psychology of children are slaves to run deep

    [Mos Def and Talib Kweli]
    Hell yeah, hell yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yo
    What's beef? hell yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yo
    That's beef, hell yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yo
    It's always your own peoples
    Sometimes it's your own peoples yo
    Yeah yeah, hell yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yo
    What's beef? hell yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yo
    That's beef, hell yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yo
    It's always your own peoples
    Sometimes it's your own peoples yo

    [Mos Def]
    Beef is not what Jay said to Nas
    Beef is when workin niggas can't find jobs
    So they tryna find niggas to rob
    Tryna find bigger guns so they can finish the job
    Beef is when the crack kids can't find moms
    Cuz they end up in a pine box or locked behind bars
    Beef ain't the Summer Jam for Hot 97
    Beef is the cocaine and AIDS epidemic
    Beef don't come with a radio edit
    Beef is when the judge is callin you "defendant"
    Beef, it comes with a long jail sentence
    Handed down to you in a few short minutes
    Beef is when your girl come through for a visit
    Talkin bout "I'm pregnant by some other nigga"
    Beef is high blood pressure and bad credit
    Need a loan for your home and you're too broke to get it
    And all your little kids is doin is gettin bigger
    You tryin not to raise 'em around these wild niggas
    Beef is when a gold digger got ya seed and
    A manicured hand out like "pay me nigga"
    Or I'm telling your wife
    Or startin up some foul rumor that'll ruin your life
    Beef is when a gangster ain't doin it right
    Another gangster then decided what to do with his life
    Beef is not what these famous niggas do on the mic
    Beef is what George Bush would do in a fight
    Yeah, beef is not what Ja said to 50
    Beef is more than Irv not bein here with me
    When a soldier ends his life with his own gun
    Beef is tryin to figure out what to tell his son
    Beef is oil prices and geopolitics
    Beef is Iraq, the West Bank, and Gaza Strip
    Some beef is big and some beef is small
    But what y'all call beef is not beef at all
    Beef is real life happenin everyday
    And it's realer than them songs that you get at Kay Slay
    This has been a Black Star PSA
    From Mos Def, Pretty Flocko, black Dante
    And the Black Star embassy, B to the K

    I'm tired of hearing of young fellows, who think you know it
    all.
    You know nothing, you have not seen a shot fired,
    and you're waving the damn flag.

    Frank, what's that man?

    I'm just watching some bullshit.
    On the news. It's f**king bullshit.
    Reporters trying to win a f**king emmy.

    Makeshift patriot,
    the flag shop is out of stock,
    I hang myself at half mast.
    (3x)

    It's the makeshift,
    The patriot,
    the flag shop is out of stock,
    I hang myself for your live telecast.

    Coming live from my own theater room,
    Beautiful weather offered a nice shine,
    Which is suitable for a full view of an altered skyline.
    It's times like these I freestyle biased opinions every other
    sentence.
    My journalist ethic slips when I pass some offensive gestures.
    Don't give me that ethical shit.
    I've got exclusive, explicit images to present to impressionable
    american kids,
    and it's time to show this world how big our edifice is.
    That's exsactly how they attacked,
    with a typically dark-skinned disney villain.
    Use civillians against civillians and charge the trojan horse
    into our buildings.
    Using commercial aviation as instruments of destruction.
    Pregnant women could have protected their children;
    wheelchairs were stairway obstructions.
    I had to back-pedal from the shower of glass and metal,
    wondering if after it settles,
    we'll find who provided power to radical rebels.
    The melting pot seems to be calling the kettle black when it
    boils over,
    but only on our own soil,
    so the little boy holds a toy soldier,
    and waits for the suit and tie to come home.
    We're going to wait until he's older, though,
    before we destroy hopes for a colder war to end.
    I'll get a close-up of his head.

    Makeshift patriot,
    the flag shop is out of stock,
    I hang myself at half mast.
    (3x)

    It's the makeshift,
    The patriot,
    the flag shop is out of stock,
    I hang myself while the stock markets crash.

    The city is covered in inches of mud.
    I see some other pictures of victims erupt.
    Grieving mothers are thinking their children are stuck,
    leaping lovers are making descisions to jump while holding
    hands,
    to escape the brutal heat;
    sometimes in groups of three.
    The fallout was far beyond the toxic clouds where people would
    like to breath,
    but all they say when all was said,
    beyond the talking heads,
    was the bloody dust with legs,
    looking like the walking dead calling for meds.
    All the hospitals overwhelmed,
    volluntiers need to go the hell home.
    Moments of silence for firefighters were interupted by cell
    phones.
    Who's going to make that call, to increas an unknown death
    toll?
    Someone we rally behind.
    He's got a megaphone, promising to make heads roll.
    We'd cheer him on, but asbestos is affecting our breath
    control.
    The less we know, the more they fabricate,
    the easier it is to sell a soul.

    (Man talking)
    There is a new price on freedom, so buy into it while supplies
    last.
    Changes need to be made;
    no more curbside baggage,
    seven pm curfew,
    racial profiling will continue with less bitching.
    We've unified over who to kill, so until I find more relevant
    scripture to quote,
    remember, our kind is bigger, stronger, smarter, and much
    wealthier.
    So wave those flags with pride, especially the white part.

    We're selling addictive, twenty-four hour candlelight vigils on
    TV.
    Freedom will be defended at the cost of civil liberties.
    The viewers are glued to television screens, stuck,
    'cause lots of things seem too sick.
    I use opportunities to pluck heartstrings for theme music.
    I'll show you which culture to pump your fist at,
    which foot is right to kiss.
    We don't really know who the culprit is yet,
    but he looks like this.
    We know who the heroes are,
    they're not the xenophobes who act hard.
    We taught the dog to squat,
    how dare he do that shit in our own back yard.
    They happen to scar our financial state,
    and char our landscape.
    Can you count how many times so far I ran back the same damn
    tape?
    While the cameraman creates news and shoves it down our throats,

    on the west bank, with the ten second clip put on constant loop
    to provoke US angst.
    So get your tanks and load your guns and hold your suns in a
    family huddle,
    'cause even if we win this tug of war and even the score,
    humanity struggles.
    There's a need of blood for what's been uncovered under the
    rubble;
    some of them dug for answers in the mess,
    but the rest were looking for trouble.

    Makeshift patriot,
    the flag shop is out of stock,
    I hang myself at half mast.
    (3x)

    It's the makeshift,
    The patriot,
    the flag shop is out of stock,
    I hang myself.
    Don't waive your rights with your flags.

    (Two people talking)
    Seriously, if I want to find out anything, I'm not going to read
    Time Magazine,
    I'm not going to read Newsweek, I'm not going to read any of
    these magazines.
    I mean, because they've just got too much to lose by printing
    the truth,
    you know that.

    What kinds of truths are they omitting?

    Well, anything.
    Even on a worldwide basis.
    They'd just go off the stands in a day if they printed really
    the truth.

    What is really the truth?

    Well, really the truth is just a plain picture.

    Most of these rappers revere Minister Farrakan (or whatever name he goes by).
    He of course, believes there is a mothership orbiting earth full of brothers.

    I see the world for what it is, beyond the white and the black
    The way the government downplays historical facts
    'Cuz the United States sponsored the rise of the 3rd Reich
    Just like the CIA trained terrorists how to fight
    Build bombs and sneak box cutters onto a flight

    My words'll expose George Bush and Bin Laden
    As two separate parts of the same seven headed dragon
    And you can't fathom the truth, so you don't hear me
    You think illuminati's just a fuckin conspiracy theory?
    That's why Conservative racists are all runnin' shit
    And your phone is tapped by the Federal Government
    So I'm jammin' frequencies in ya brain when you speak to me
    Technique will rip a rapper to pieces indecently
    Pack weapons illegally, because I'm never hesitant
    Sniper scoping a commission controllin the president

    hacked the Pentagon for self-incriminating evidence
    Of Republican manufactured white powder pestilence
    Marines Corps. flat (?) vest, with the guns and ammo
    Spittin' bars like a demon stuck inside a piano
    Turn a Sambo into a soldier with just one line
    Now here's the truth about the system that'll fuck up your mind
    They gave Al Queda 6 billion dollars in 1989 to 1992
    And now the last chapters of Revelations are coming true
    And I know a lot of people find it hard to swallow this
    Because subliminal bigotry makes you hate my politics
    But you act like America wouldn't destroy two buildings
    In a country that was sponsoring bombs dropped on our children
    I was watching the Towers, and though I wasn't the closest
    I saw them crumble to the Earth like they was full of explosives
    And they thought nobody noticed the news report that they did
    About the bombs planted on the George Washington bridge
    Four Non-Arabs arrested during the emergency
    And then it disappeared from the news permanently
    They dubbed a tape of Osama, and they said it was proof
    "Jealous of our freedom," I can't believe you bought that excuse
    Rockin a motherfucking flag don't make you a hero
    Word to Ground Zero
    The Devil crept into Heaven, God overslept on the 7th
    The New World Order was born on September 11

    And just so Conservatives don't take it to heart
    I don't think Bush did it, 'cuz he isn't that smart
    He's just a stupid puppet taking orders on his cell phone
    From the same people that sabotaged Senator Wellstone
    The military industry got it poppin' and lockin'
    Looking for a way to justify the Wolfowitz Doctrine
    And as a matter of fact, Rumsfeld, now that I think back
    Without 9/11, you couldn't have a war in Iraq
    Or a Defense budget of world conquest proportions
    Kill freedom of speech and revoke the right to abortions
    Tax cut extortion, a blessing to the wealthy and wicked
    But you still have to answer to the Armageddon you scripted
    And Dick Cheney, you fuckin leech, tell them your plans
    About building your pipelines through Afghanistan
    And how Israeli troops trained the Taliban in Pakistan
    You might have some house niggaz fooled, but I understand
    Colonialism is sponsored by corporations
    That's why Halliburton gets paid to rebuild nations
    Tell me the truth, I don't scare into paralysis
    I know the CIA saw Bin Laden on dialysis
    In '98 when he was Top Ten for the FBI
    Government ties is really why the Government lies
    Read it yourself instead of asking the Government why
    'Cuz then the Cause of Death will cause the propaganda to die..

    Build bombs and sneak box cutters onto a flight

    My words'll expose George Bush and Bin Laden
    As two separate parts of the same seven headed dragon
    And you can't fathom the truth, so you don't hear me
    You think illuminati's just a fuckin conspiracy theory?
    That's why Conservative racists are all runnin' shit
    And your phone is tapped by the Federal Government
    So I'm jammin' frequencies in ya brain when you speak to me

    Pack weapons illegally, because I'm never hesitant
    Sniper scoping a commission controllin the president

    hacked the Pentagon for self-incriminating evidence

    They gave Al Queda 6 billion dollars in 1989 to 1992
    And now the last chapters of Revelations are coming true
    And I know a lot of people find it hard to swallow this
    Because subliminal bigotry makes you hate my politics
    But you act like America wouldn't destroy two buildings
    In a country that was sponsoring bombs dropped on our children
    I was watching the Towers, and though I wasn't the closest
    I saw them crumble to the Earth like they was full of explosives
    And they thought nobody noticed the news report that they did
    About the bombs planted on the George Washington bridge

    i love this fucking song right here...especially verse 2


    "war"

    Now get the fuck up off me nigga..

    [Big Boi]
    As I, struggle to keep my balance and composure
    I'm 'posed ta, propose a toast to players on every coast-a
    The lyrical roller coaster, mind-bender
    'Stead of watchin these sucker MC's
    I'm seein just how they lyin to the general population
    Don't be patient, get up and stand up for your life
    Don't you agree or understand we lost some rights at 1-1-9?
    Come dumb, come young, come blind unwind confined
    to the situation, we facin, cause in time, tick tick boom

    [singers]
    Tick, boom.. tick, tick-boom
    Tick, boom.. tick, tick-boom
    Tick, boom.. tick, tick-boom
    Tick, boom.. tick, tick-boom

    [explosion forward and reversed]
    singing: Hold my... hold my hand
    scratched: You're gonna die here
    Repeat

    [Big Boi]
    When will we all, awake up out this dream
    Come here and smell the Folgers, the soldiers are human beings
    Man actin as if he was the supreme bein
    Clockin the souls of men out like he was G-O-D and
    W-A-Rrah, there'll be no tomorrow but sorrow
    and horror will follow the hollow hearts battle for dollars
    Politicians, modern day magicians
    Physicians of death, more health care for poor health
    Who makin us ill, they makin us kill
    That's makin me spill my guts (chill Big, lay in the cut)
    For what? I refuse to sit in the backseat and get handled
    Like I do nuttin all day but sit around watch the Cartoon Channel
    I rap about, the Presidential election and the scandal
    that followed, and we all watched the nation, as it swallowed
    and chalked it up, basically America you got FUCKED
    The media shucked and jived now we stuck - damn!

    singing: Hold my... hold my hand
    scratched: You're gonna die here, die here
    Repeat

    [Big Boi]
    Operation Anaconda - ask yourself
    was it full of bleeps and blunders, did they ever find Osama?
    And why in the fuck did Daniel Pearl have to pay the price
    for his life and his wife plead twice?
    See Al-Amin got life and Fred got dead, Hampton
    To dampen the dream of all the Panthers
    They got they answer for ransom
    As we read together, as we dream together
    Count your blessings whenever you feel that things won't be no better
    But it got to, you gave me this microphone so I must rock you
    Your brainwaves, airwaves, energized and SHOCKED you
    Y'all got me, well I got y'all, long as I know y'all listenin
    I'ma always bring food for thought to the table in the kitchen
    Now eat nigga!

    know your enemy, know yourself
    that’s the politic
    george bush is way worse than bin laden is
    know your enemy, know yourself
    that’s the politic
    f.b.I., c.I.a., the real terrorists
    know your enemy, know yourself
    that’s the politic
    george bush is way worse than bin laden is
    know your enemy, know yourself
    that’s the politic
    c.I.a., f.b.I. the real terrorists

    you got to watch what you say in these days and times
    It’s a touchy situation, lotta fear and emotion
    september 11th
    televised world-wide
    suicide planes fallin like bombs from out the sky
    they wasn’t aimin at us
    not at my house
    they hit the world trade, the pentagon, and almost got the white house
    now everybody walkin round patriotic
    how we gon’ fight to keep freedom when we ain’t got it?
    you wanna stop terrorists?
    start with the u.s. imperalists
    ain’t no track record like america’s, see
    bin laden was trained by the c.I.a
    but I guess if you a terrorist for the u.s
    then it’s okay
    uh huh

    they try to make us think we crazy
    but I know what they doin, they tryna put us back in slavery
    check it, to get on welfare you gotta get your fingerprints
    soon ya gotta do eyescans to get your benefits
    now they got them cards to swipe, ain’t no more foodstamps
    shoulda seen it comin, now it’s too late to get amped
    and everything got a barcode
    so they know what you got, when you got it, and what you still owe
    you seen them projects, lately you better watch it
    why they got us surrounded if money is the object?
    why they use satellites to keep track of the criminals?
    why they puttin jails in schools, is it subliminal?
    cameras everywhere to protect us from one another
    or is it the undercover, disguised as big brother
    and even freedom of speech is limited
    mad leaders done spoke up, and look at what these crackas did

    and you ain’t got to believe me
    go ‘head and listen to bush
    the dope pusher on the t.v
    what you think the war is for?
    cause the greedy wantin more and more
    we be hustlin the corridor
    I would never join the military
    one soldier to another, nigga holla if ya hear me
    goin out to the best sons and daughters
    don’t be a lamb gettin led to the slaughter
    I’ma keep ridin when my momma released
    cause ain’t no stoppin us now, dawg
    freedom before peace
    ugh
    they got a plan for us?
    we got a plan for them
    and this time we gon’ win
    who in? you out? you in?
    no doubt, we men
    ain’t no ridin the fence
    It’s called self-defense
    It makes sense
    when they tell us we gotta shackles on our brains (say what?)
    I’ll be damned if I sit here and let them put us back in chains

    (singing)
    at the bonfires of the city
    I’ve seen blood

    It takes two to make a thing go right.

    LMAO!!! I see your "it takes two to make a thing go right"...and I raise you a...

    This here's a tale for all the fellas
    Try to do what those ladies tell us
    Get shot down cause you're over zealous
    Play hard to get an females get jealous
    Ok smartie, go to a party
    Girls are stancin the crowd is showin body
    A chick walks by you wish you could sex her
    But you're standin on the wall like you was Poindexter
    Next days function, high class luncheon
    Food is served and you're stone cold munchin'
    Music comes on, people start to dance
    But then you ate so much you nearly split your pants
    A girl starts walkin, guys start gawkin'
    Sits down next to you and starts talkin'
    Says she wanna dance cus she likes the groove
    So come on fatso and just bust a move
    You're on a mission and you're wishin'
    someone could cure you're lonely condition
    You're lookin for love in all the wrong places
    Not fine girls just ugly faces
    From frustration first inclination
    Is to become a monk and leave the situation
    But every dark tunnel has a lighter hope
    So don't hang yourself with a celibate rope
    New movie's showin... so you're goin
    Could care less about the five you're blowin
    Theatre gets dark just to start the show
    When you spot a fine woman sittin in the front row
    She's dressed in yellow, she says "Hello,
    Come sit next to me you fine fellow"
    You run over there without a second to loose
    And what comes next, hey bust a move
    If you want it baby you've got it (repeat)

    Just bust a move

    In the city ladies look pretty
    Guys tell jokes so they can seem witty
    Tell a funny joke just to get some play
    Then you try to make a move and she says "no way"
    Girls a fakin' ... goodness sakin'
    They want a man who brings home the bacon
    Got no money and you got no car
    Then you got no woman and there you are
    Some girls are sophistic... materialistic
    Looking for a man makes them opportunistic
    They're lyin on the beach perpetratin a tan
    So that a brother with money can be their man
    So on the beach you're strollin'... real high-rollin'
    Everything you have is your's and not stolen
    A girl runs up with somethin to prove
    So don't just stand there, bust a move

    Your best friend Harry has a brother Larry
    In five days from now he's gonna marry
    He's hopin you can make it there if you can
    'Cause in the ceremony you'll be the best man
    You say "neato"... check your libido
    And roll to the church in your new tuxedo
    The bride walks down just to start the wedding
    And there's one more girl you won't be getting
    So you start thinkin, then you start blinkin
    A bride maid looks and thinks that you're winkin
    She thinks you're kinda cute so she winks back
    And now you're feelin really fine cus the girl is stacked
    Reception's jumpin, bass is pumpin
    Look at the girl and your heart starts thumpin
    Says she wants to dance to a different groove
    Now you know what to do g, bust a move

    'Home Of The Brave' ~ Mr Lif (there used to be audio of this on Def Jux's website, not sure if it's still there, it has parts of political speeches that no one included in the lyrics)

    *edit, the link to the audio is http://www.definitivejux.net/av/mr_lif/player.php?id=143&filetype=song there's also audio of a live and studio version of 'memorial day' which i posted earlier (just go to the audio section and click on 'the perceptionists'

    Now let's talk about self expression, true expression
    Open your minds without question
    No doubt, tell me what you're thinking about
    Let's try to set aside pride and clout
    Can you believe I feel the same exact way you do?
    You truly do believe
    These modern ways have fooled you
    Systems exist so we never meet each other
    Pretty soon from now that I'll long the word 'brother'
    And that's true if they see you walking with a crew
    If you don't know, that means more than two
    I'll tell you what they'll do
    They'll pull over, hunt you over
    Kick your ass, nightstick to your shoulder
    I know it's unjust, as if it wasn't enough
    If you try to fight back they're locking your ass up
    And Chuck already told you that a cell is hell
    But I'm waiting for the phone so I'll sit for a spell
    Call the guard, tell him I'm a piece of God
    With no beliefs in his streets or his boulevards
    I eat, read so my mental is hard
    And the heat from my anger just melted the bars
    They reach for their guns so I put them to sleep
    Break the chains and put the shoes back on my feet
    He's on the loose with no discernible scars or marks
    Just the mind of Mandela and the heart of Rosa Parks
    So I dip, time to see the governor and mayor
    Tell them life ain't fair and see if they care
    Well they do, but only if they are the heir
    So they appear to have a heart and make a flair
    But they haven't done shit for us and that's a fact
    Their only function is to keep the funny money where it's at
    And it causes pain, stress

    Ask me if we need a different way of life (yes)

    Headline: Bush steals the presidency
    He needs the backing of the media what could the remedy be?
    The country's headed for recession reminiscent of the Great
    Depression
    Are lives worth a world of power? Easy question
    Planes hit the towers and the Pentagon
    Killing those the government wasn't dependant on
    It's easy to control the scared so they keep us in fear
    With their favorite Middle Eastern demon named Bin Laden this
    year
    Bush disguises blood lust as patriotism
    Convincing the living to love 'Operation Let's Get 'Em'
    But when he realized we don't support their attacks
    They needed something to distract, hmm, anthrax
    This further demonizes Afghanis
    So Americans cheer while we kill their innocent families
    And what better place to start a war
    To build a pipeline to get the oil that they had wanted before
    America supported the Taliban
    To get Russia out of Afghanistan
    That's how they got the arms in
    They're in a war against the Northern Alliance
    And we can't build a pipeline in hostile environments
    Here's what your history books won't show:
    You're a dead man for fucking with American dough
    They killed several birds with one stone
    While you're at home with anti-terrorism up in your dome
    But my eyes are wide open and my TV is off
    Great, 'cause I save on my electricity cost
    And you can wave that piece of shit flag if you dare
    But they killed us because we've been killing them for years
    standin above the crowd
    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way

    finally watched dave chappelle's block party last night and it made me think of this thread

    Dead Prez ~ Turn Off The Radio

    I refuse to be a stereotype in ya box
    Never wanna try to be somethin I'm not
    I'm just a nigga from the block, if you got it twist it
    Stay blowin on green, if you got it, twist it on up
    DP's givin a fuck - R.B.G.'d up in some gangsta chucks
    Throw ya fist up homie if ya know what's up
    All my comrades puttin in soldier work
    We rollin dirty wit it, fully dedicated
    So real that the radio'll never play it
    But that's cool, the enemy supposed to hate it
    Freedom ain't gon' come til we regulate 'em
    That's why I'm in the dojo, not just for the video
    Really though, we really got beef with the po-po (woop-woop)
    Never know when they gon' put you in a chokehold
    This is for you new niggaz, holdin for the radio

    [Chorus]
    Turn off the radio!
    Turn off that bullshit!
    Turn off the radio!
    Turn off that bullshit!
    Turn off the radio!
    Turn off that bullshit!
    Turn off the radio!

    [M-1]
    What's on the radio, propoganda, mind control
    And turnin it on is like puttin on a blindfold
    Cuz when you bringin the real you don't get ro-tation
    Unless you take over the station
    And yeah I know it's part of they plans
    To make us think it's all about party and dancin
    And yo it might sound good when you spittin your rap
    But in reality, don't nobody live like that

    Propaganda

    Intro: (news snippets)
    "Let me now turn, to our program for the future..."
    "The economy right now, is extremely supportive of the president and his
    policies"
    "FBI scientists have found chemical traces, consistent with a bomb or a
    missle, on a piece of wreckage..."
    "Police using clubs and tear gas against demonstrators..."
    "They called me a mother -(bleeped out)-ing so-and-so...and a white
    facist...like they said, 'you're getting some of your own medicine'..."

    Singing:
    Telling lies, to our vision
    Telling lies, to our children
    Telling lies, to our babies
    Only truth, can take us away

    Verse 1:
    You can't fool all the people all of the time
    But if you fool the right ones, then the rest will fall behind
    Tell me who's got control of your mind? your world view?
    Is it the news or the movie you're taking your girl to? (uh)
    Know what i'm sayin cause Uncle Sam got a plan
    If you examine what they tellin us then you will understand
    What they plantin in the seeds of the next generation
    Feeding our children miseducation
    No one knows if there's UFO's or any life on mars
    Or what they do when they up in the stars
    Because i don't believe a word of what the president said
    He filling our head with lies got us hypnotised
    When he be speaking in cold words about crime and poverty
    Drugs, welfare, prisons, guns and robbery
    It really means us, there's no excuse for the slander
    But what's good for the goose, is still good for the gander
    See...

    Chorus:
    I don't believe Bob Marley died from cancer
    31 years ago i woulda been a panther
    They killed Huey cause they knew he had the answer
    The views that you see in the news is propaganda

    Singing:
    Telling lies, to our vision
    Telling lies, to our children
    Telling lies, to our babies
    Only truth, can take us away

    Verse 2:
    I don't want no computer chip in my arm
    I don't wanna die by a nuclear bomb
    I say we all rush the pentagon, pull out guns
    And grab the intercom, my first word's will be I believe
    Man made God, outta ignorance and fear
    If God made man, then why the hell would he put us here?
    I thought he's supposed to be the all loving
    The same God who let Hitler put the Jews in the oven
    We don't fall for the regular shit, they try to feed us
    All this half-ass leadership, flippin position
    They turn politcian and shut the hell up and follow tradition
    For your TV screen, is telling lies to your vision
    Every channel got some brainwashed cop shit to watch
    Running up in niggas cribs claiming that they heard shots
    It's a plot, but busta can you tell me who's greedier?
    Big corporations, the pigs or the media?
    Sign of the times, terrorism on the rise
    Commercial airplanes, falling out the sky like flies
    Make me wonder what secrets went down with Bob Brown (?)
    Who burnt churches to the ground with no evidence found?
    It's not coincidence, it's been too many studied incidents
    It coulda been the Klan who put that bomb at the Olympics
    But it probably was the FBI, deep at the call
    Cuz if they make us all panic then they can start martial law

    Chorus:
    I don't believe Bob Marley died from cancer
    31 years ago i woulda been a panther
    They killed Huey cause they knew he had the answer
    The views that you see in the news is propaganda

    I don't believe Bob Marley died from cancer
    31 years ago i woulda been a panther
    They killed Huey cause they knew he had the answer
    The views that you see in the news is muthafuckin propaganda

    Singing:
    Police is telling lies fooling millions
    What are they teaching our kids in these school buildings?
    Televised, enterprised in all the killing
    Controlling our lives, this ain't living
    No this ain't living

    Chant:
    FBI, CIA
    ATF, KKK
    IRS, TNT
    CBS, NBC

    FBI, CIA
    ATF, KKK
    IRS, TNT
    CBS, NBC

    Singing:
    Telling lies, to our vision
    Telling lies, to our children
    Telling lies, to our babies
    Only truth, can take us away

    News snippet:
    "uh, we view each other uh, with uh, a great love and a great understanding
    and that we try to expand this to the general, uh, black population and also people,
    oppressed people all over the world, and, i think that uh, we differ from
    uhmm... uh, some other groups simply because we understand the system better
    than uh, most uh, groups understand the system, and uh, with this
    realisation, uh, we attempt to form a strong political base based in the
    community with the only strength that we have and that's the strength of uh,
    a potentially destructive force if we don't get freedom."
    standin above the crowd
    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way
  • Talib Kweli ~ Get By

    We sell, crack to our own out the back of our homes
    We smell the musk at the dusk in the crack of the dawn
    We go through "Epidodes II," like "Attack of the Clones"
    Work 'til we break our back and you hear the crack of the bone
    To get by.. just to get by
    Just to get by, just to get by
    We commute to computers
    Spirits stay mute while you eagles spread rumors
    We survivalists, turned to consumers
    To get by.. just to get by
    Just to get by, just to get by
    Ask Him why some people got to live in a trailer, cuss like a sailor
    I paint a picture with the pen like Norman Mailer
    Me Abuela raised three daughters all by herself, with no help
    I think about a struggle and I find the strength in myself
    These words, melt in my mouth
    They hot, like the jail cell in the South
    Before my nigga Core bailed me out
    To get by.. just to get by
    Just to get by, just to get by
    We do or die like Bed-Stuy through the red sky
    with the window of the red eye
    Let the lead fly, some G. Rap shit, "Livin' to Let Die"

    [Chorus: Background singers]
    This morning, I woke up
    Feeling brand new and I jumped up
    Feeling my highs, and my lows
    In my soul, and my goals
    Just to stop smokin, and stop drinkin
    And I've been thinkin - I've got my reasons
    Just to get (by), just to get (by)
    Just to get (by), just to get (by)

    [Talib and background singers]
    (ba ba ba, ba da bada, ba da bada, ba da bada, ba da badahh
    Just to get (by), just to get (by)
    Just to get (by by by by by by)
    (ba ba ba, ba da bada, ba da bada, ba da bada, ba da badahh
    Just to get (by), just to get (by)
    Just to get (by by by by by by)

    [Verse 2: Talib]
    We keeping it gangster say "fo shizzle", "fo sheezy" and "stayin crunk"
    Its easy to pull a breezy, smoke trees, and we stay drunk
    Yo, our activism attackin the system, the blacks and latins in prison
    Numbers of prison they victim black in the vision
    Shit and all they got is rappin to listen to
    I let them know we missin you, the love is unconditional
    Even when the condition is critical, when the livin is miserable
    Your position is pivotal, I ain't bullshittin you
    Now, why would I lie? Just to get by?
    Just to get by, we get fly
    The TV got us reachin for stars
    Not the ones between Venus and Mars, the ones that be readin for parts
    Some people get breast enhancements and penis enlargers
    Saturday sinners Sunday morning at the feet of the Father
    They need somethin to rely on, we get high on all types of drug
    When, all you really need is love
    To get by.. just to get by
    Just to get by, just to get by
    Our parents sing like John Lennon, "Imagine all the people watch"
    We rock like Paul McCartney from now until the last Beatle drop

    [Chorus: Background singers]
    This morning, I woke up
    Feeling brand new and I jumped up
    Feeling my high's, and my low's
    In my soul, and my goals
    Just to stop smoking, and stop drinking
    And I've been thinking - I've got my reasons
    Just to get (by), just to get (by)
    Just to get (by), just to get (by)

    [Talib: repeat 2x - with background singers]
    Yoyoyo, yo
    Some people cry, and some people try
    Just to get by, for a piece of the pie
    You love to eat and get high
    We decieve when we lie, and we keepin it fly

    Yoyoyo, yo
    When, the people decide, to keep a disguise
    Can't see they eyes, see the evil inside
    But there's people you find
    Strong or feeble in mind, I stay readin the signs
    If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

    Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

  • Mos Def ~ War
    War is a global economic phenomenon

    Ain't a batch of guns on where, hellfire
    Spittin', run up everything they hittin'
    Some do they job to dodge the barrage
    As sleek projectiles never stay bound
    Fire bite invades the night with light
    Loud, fighter planes shout shell rain
    When they shot to kill cops on the terrain
    And leave any brain that may remain stained
    You god damn right this war goin' too far
    Socialists think they converse with the stars
    Wars found, my find the beauty in the stars
    I level with death even beneath radar
    I level with death even beneath radar
    I level with death and she got pretty eyes
    Nobody told me death was so damn fine
    I go to sleep with that girl on my mind
    Wake up in a sea, I wanna fire in line
    Grab my heat, then it's get down time
    One day I'ma make that girl all mine
    But for now I'm a soldier abidin' my time
    Writin' my rhyme behind enemy lines
    Palestine, Kosovo, Cashmere
    No different than the avenues right here
    An increase in the murder rate each year
    Paramilitary unit keep the streets clear
    Curtains up on the theatre of warfare
    Dramatic politics nightly preformed here
    Worldwide from Colombia to Columbine
    Don holders keep ya dollar signs on the line

    "I don't want to rule or conquer anyone
    I should like to help everyone if possible
    Jew, gentile, black man, white
    We all want to help one another
    Human beings are like that
    We want to live by each other's happiness
    Not by each other's misery
    In this world, there's room for everyone
    And the good earth is rich
    And can provide for everyone a way of life"

    Fuck that

    You know the drill
    Fix ya face
    I'ma hustle off the hill
    Go get my money man
    Go get my money man

    See every hunter need to kill
    Go get my money man

    I'm old school from off the hill
    Go get my money man

    Go get my money man
    I give a fuck what I do
    Go get my money man
    Go get my money man
    Go get that money man
    Go get my money man
    Go get that money man
    Gimme my money man
    Gimme my money

    Fuck you, pay me
    Fuck you, pay me
    Fuck you, pay me
    Fuck you, pay me
    Fuck you, pay me
    Fuck you, pay me
    Fuck you, pay me
    Fuck you, pay me
    Gimme the loot, Gimme the loot, Gimme the loot
    If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

    Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
