Now get the f**k up off me nigga

As I, struggle to keep my balance and composure
I'm 'posed the, propose a toast to players on every coast a
The lyrical roller coaster, mind bender
'Stead of watchin' these s*cker 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

Tick, boom, tick, tick boom
Tick, boom, tick, tick boom
Tick, boom, tick, tick boom
Tick, boom, tick, tick boom

Hold my, hold my hand
You're gonna die here
Hold my, hold my hand
You're gonna die here

When will we all, awake up out this dream
Come here and smell the forgers, 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 f**ked
The media shucked and jived now we stuck, damn

Hold my, hold my hand
You're gonna die here, die here
Hold my, hold my hand
You're gonna die here, die here

Operation Anaconda ask yourself
Was it full of bleeps and blunders, did they ever find Osama?
And why in the f**k 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'm always bring food for thought to the table in the kitchen
Now eat nigga
