everybody put three fingers in the air
stand for something or die in the morning
visions of martin luther staring at me
malcolm x put a hex on my future
i'm falling victim to a revolutionary song
back to put you backstabbers back on your spinal bone
you slipped your disc when i slid you my disc
grown men never should bite their tongue
unless you eating pussy that smell like it's a stale plum
i got my finger on the motherfucking pistol
charlotte's web is gonna miss you
and you ain't gotta tell the wise
because our life's an instrumental
this is physical and mental
you'd die from diabetes if these other niggas wrote it
and everything on tv just a figment of imagination
i don't want no plastic nation
while you motherfuckers waiting
writing my own hieroglyphs
just call the shit hiiipower
nothing less than hiiipower
throw your hands up for hiiipower
visions of martin luther staring at me
if i see it how he seen it
that would make my parents happy
i can't turn the other cheek
they wanna knock me off the edge like a fucking widow's peak
and she always told me pray for the weak
i ain't prayed in some weeks
he probably clocking double shifts on all of his jobs
enough to drive a man insane
i'm standing on a field full of land mines
cause 2012 might not be a fucking legend
trying to be a fucking legend
who said a black man in the illuminati?
last time i checked that was the biggest racist party
so get up off that slave ship
write your own hieroglyphs
just call the shit hiiipower
nothing less than hiiipower
throw your hands up for hiiipower
every day we fight the system
we been down for too long
we was built to be strong
every day we fight the system
we been down for too long
who said a black man in illuminati?
last time i checked that was the biggest racist party
we was racing with marcus garvey
on the freeway to africa till i wreck my audi
and i want everybody to view my autopsy
so you can see exactly where the government had shot me
they play musical chairs once i'm on that pedestal
enough to drive a man insane
the reason lauryn hill don't sing
loaded that clip and then said bang!"
