American hypocrisy, oh, let me count the They came here seekin' Then they end up ownin' Justified it usin' Christianity saves don't mean shit, there's too much ego in the way That's why is a crisis But in reality country do the same shit Take a life and call it Remember when Bin Laden got killed, In a hotel lobby after a show, was These white watchin' CNN, coverin' the action They the headline and then they all started clappin' As if had just scored a basket at the buzzer I stood for a second, watched them high-five each other For real? I thought this was "Thou not kill" But police lettin' off on niggas in the Ville that he reached for a gun They really think we and got a death wish Now somebody's son is breathless I was a little boy my father lived in Texas Pulled up in Toyota, drove that bitch like it was Put my bag in his and headed off for Dallas Out there for the summer, feelin' like I was Alice Lost in the Wonderland where niggas sufferin' Just like they was back home, and wrong So now "Fuck the government!" They see my strugglin' And they don't a fuck at all, and that's wrong, yeah

I had a with the President, I paid to go and see him Thinkin' about the things I said I'd say when I see him Feelin' nervous, sittin' in a full of white folks about the black man plight, think I might choke Nope, raised my and asked a man a question Does he see the of his brothers in oppression? And if so, if you got all the power in the As the President, keepin' you from helpin' niggas out? Well, I didn't say "nigga," but you my drift He looked me in my eyes and spoke and he was rather He broke the issues down and me he was well-aware I got the vibe he was sincere and the brother cared But dawg, you in the chair, the hold up? He said, "There's things that I fix But you know shit, nigga: politics." Don't stop fightin' and don't believin' You can make the world for your kids before you leave it Change is slow, always has been, will be But that, I'ma bust back 'til they kill me Change is slow, always has been, will be But fuck that, I'ma bust until they kill me—feel me?

Here's a thought for my heart Take a deeper look at history, there to pick apart See, the people at the top, they get to do just they want after a while the people at the bottom finally get smart Then they start to "Revolution!" Tired of livin' here, Fuck that lootin'! Can you tell me what's the best I used to think it was to oppressors, see If we destroy the system, means we'll have less of greed But see, not that simple I got to about the history of human nature While instrumental played I realized somethin' that made Me wonder if was really ever the way Before you trip and a fit over these words I say Think this shit for second, you heard the way The in abusive households grow up Knockin' out cold—that's called a cycle Abused the abuser and that's just how life go So You get the power, but you know what power to man? always leads us to the same shit again So when you 'bout revolution Dawg, I just what you sayin' good is takin' over When we what you gon' do? The real revolution happens right inside of you I said, what good is takin' When we what you gon' do? The only real revolution happens inside of you, nigga
The type of shit make you wanna (High for hours, nigga) The type of shit make you wanna let go (Volume one) The type of shit that you wanna The type of shit make you wanna let go
