This illuminati shit it almost sucked me dry / For the future of my daughter I was ready to die / Aiming straight for the center of the all-seeing eye / I show love to the people as I expose the lie

God's Land

And I’m gonna shine my light upon this world until I’m gone / And even when it’s time for me to move on / I’m returning back to what I was all along / And I’m gonna shine my light upon this world until I’m gone / And then on and on and on and on / Somebody’s really tryin’ to dim my light / I gotta focus if I wanna shine bright / And I’ve been told I can be too serious / Tryin’ to make a change can make a man delirious / Who’d have thought way back when / I’da end up workin’ in the kitchen man / I got college degrees and all that shit / I gave you five years, this is what I get? / Now I’m tryin’ to climb this economic ladder / Watch the dollar shatter right before I get a piece / ‘Cuz I’ve been tryin’ to get paid as an artist / But tryin’ to live outside the system is the hardest / That’s why they make you work a 9 to 5 / ‘Cuz you depended on machines to keep you alive / In this Technocalypse of our society / I’ll probly go before I put a chip inside of me / And even you tell me it’s alright / I’m gonna stay human and stay true to myself ‘cuz it feels right / (Chorus) / From dust of a star / To now who we are / You’re driving in your car / Disconnected to it all / Yo, the 3rd rock from the sun is gettin’ heated / Some would say a revolution is needed / Some would say it’s just a matter of faith before somethin’ beautiful takes place / Or are we lost / Lost in a maze, forced to live out our days on a slave ship? / They say we’re free to be enlightened / But then they pay to keep the people here frightened / They pay to have control of what’s in the news / Yo who you think decides what the public views? / Is it spiritual, Islamic Jews? / Is it WWIII? Yo I’m so confused / Fighting for control over what it is I choose / And where was God when I lost my job and I saw rich people didn’t even care? / The Buddha said “Happiness is everywhere!” / But what I’m supposed to do with my desire? / I feel like certain people came to Earth to reign fire / (Chorus) / Yeah, they got my people afraid / They got the whole entire population forced to get paid / Controllin’ minimum wages / They hid the wisdom that the people here could get from all the elders and the sages / Yo, we only got one blessed Mother Earth / So let’s protect her first / And all this warrin’ over what we’re callin’ God’s Land / Is propaganda by man

American Way
00:57
|
|||
Some of the greatest artists work for the devil / Shady mothafuckas make you think they on the level / We dig our own graves but they provide the shovel / The sheep dog is trained to bite the few who cause trouble / And this is not a coincidence, it’s intentional in fact / The amount of resources that are collected and tracked / Are done so for profit, though little goes back / To the hard working people who keep the system in tact / Slave wages and labor – they say it’s “fair trade” / We’re livestock on the market so the devil gets paid / And it seems like those who have the most have the least to fuckin’ say / I swear justice would be walkin’ in our shoes for a day / But it’s all good, little dreamers. Why don’t you go head outside to play? / And when you look to the sky and see the chemicals they spray / Gather up all the children and tell ‘em it’s gonna be OK / We’ve been lyin’ to ourselves for years – it’s just the American Way

They say it’s just another sunny afternoon and the whole world’s at peace / Investigating everything that we are doin’ – the New World Police / You are now free to go about your life pursuin’ your goals and dreams / I know the man behind the curtain looks confusing but it’s not what it seems / “Haha, go back to sleep people. I’m telling you there nothin’ to see here. Go back to sleep and relax your mind.” / They say it’s just another sunny afternoon and the whole world’s at peace / Investigating everything that we are doin’ – the New World Police / You are now free to go about your life pursuin’ your goals and dreams / I know the man behind the curtain looks confusing but it’s not what it seems / “I’m sayin’ Would we lie to you? I’m just askin’ though. Would we lie to you? Maybe don’t answer that question.” / Sometimes I feel like there’s somebody watchin’ / Disinformation cloudin’ up my thoughts and / I know for me it’s too soon for the coffin / I’m ‘bout to spread my wings and take up off and / I’d love to sit and talk about how often / Things that didn’t matter shattered solid rocks and / Yo it’s only time that will pass / The ever-present Now is all that will last / Before I see you on the other side / I would like to co-create something beside / A somewhat dysfunctional place to reside / A much better space for me to raise my daughter / I cannot live what’s not the truth, I gotta / Follow my intuition as a father / I know sometimes my demons say “Why bother?” / But love is always there to help me conquer / All life’s mysteries and sweet journeys 2x

Behavior Modification

|

B.F. Skinner put his daughter in a box / We tested ‘em like rats then administered shocks / Every single day in Tranquility Bay / Behavior modification – what can I say? / It’s the way that your brain works. If you let us, we can change it / Parents sending trouble away with hopes to rearrange it / “Torches of Freedom” by Edward Bernays / Persuasion is packaged in a neat little phrase / Look over here! We got your attention / The goal is to manage the herd, did I mention? / ‘The engineering of Consent’ is what inspired Joseph Goebbels / The science of coercion developed by the nobles / Go on, you’re free to choose and pick your destination / On the count of 3 you’ll awake refreshed with a positive sensation / That all things are good and exactly as they should be / You’ll go about your life and never ask again: What could be? / 1, 2, 3

Some, they wanna be a sexy lady / Rollin’ in that black Mercedes / But me no respect ya, baby / Just because you got the ice / Wanna be nice? Drop the mask / And it’s really not all that I’m askin’ / Show a little bit of gratitude / Some, they wanna be a sexy lady / Rollin’ in that black Mercedes / But me no respect ya, baby / Just because you got the ice / Wanna be nice? Drop the mask / And it’s really not all that I’m askin’ / Just drop the attitude / Yo, the downfall of a queen / She don’t even know what it mean / To be the source of divine inspiration / And it’s all just a silly game / Where she’s to remain just out of reach for my invitation / To connect a little more / But that’s not what she’s lookin’ for / She loves a little drama in her situation / And it’s all glam and glitz / Big diamonds and fake tits / And it’s really all about the new sensation / “Ya know what I’m sayin’ I was just like ‘Hey how you doin’?’ She was like ‘Oh, you here with one of the groups?’ I was like ‘No, I’m just here by myself, just wanna see what’s goin’ on.’ She was like ‘You mean to buy me a drink?’ I was like ‘No, just a conversate.’ She was like ‘Get the fuck outta here!’” / Some, they wanna be a sexy lady / Rollin’ in that black Mercedes / But me no respect ya, baby / Just because you got the ice / Wanna be nice? Drop the mask / And it’s really not all that I’m askin’ / Yo, you’d think she’s the center of the world / Some, they wanna be a sexy lady / Rollin’ in that black Mercedes / But me no respect ya, baby / Just because you got the ice / Wanna be nice? Drop the mask / And it’s really not all that I’m askin’ / And yo – I ain’t even tryin’ to make this damaged queen my girl / I seen you on the streets but you would never notice me / You’re too lost in your own world to look around and see / There’s so many beautiful people with dreams and problems just like you / Now here I sit wonderin’ what it would be, to live life like you do / You are so selfish / You are so self-absorbed…

Then let me hear your spirit make some noise / You know I’m wishing for you happiness, it’s balance you desire / With all good things comes sacrifice and focus, and love to fuel the fire / So you’ll always remember… / (Chorus)

I understand why you feel like snappin’ / Knowin’ there’s a time and a place for gun clappin’ / Beat us down but we bounce right back / And never make a move ‘til I know what’s happenin’ / I represent a certain part of the fraction / Of revolutionary people in action / Suspect of anyone with a badge / And I don’t trust cops ‘cuz they don’t trust black men / You know what I’m sayin’? I mean we can both come to the table as equals but right now how we supposed to both truly feel equal when only one of us is packin’ the heat? / Military grade ammunitions / And hollow point tips pointed at civilians / By any means to obtain submission / Dirty dirty cops makin’ dirty conditions / Wonder if they ever really would listen / Just bein’ black shouldn’t mean a conviction / Cock’d back with the eagle eye vision / And let’s pray to God I make the right decision / Ya know what I’m sayin’ I mean this should be a last resort and you, you keep pushin’ down hard on people, some of these people feelin’ like, ya know, they backed against the wall / Stand down, everybody just hold up / I called the S1W to show up / It’s gettin’ heated and I hope it don’t blow up / I heard God sayin’ “When you gonna grow up?” / Four shottas at the door when they roll up / All cards in, someone gotta fold up / I know the best man, he don’t always win / Like Malcom and Martin and Gandhi didn’t / Ya know what I’m sayin’? And these were our speakers, our representatives, ya know FOR PEACE. And you went and you took all of ‘em out / Whoa, whoa, whoa I’m prayin’ for a peaceful solution / Whoa, whoa, whoa I’m prayin’ for a nonviolent social revolution 2x / You make it hard but I still wanna try yo/ If we could put all of our weapons to the side, y’all / You’re not a cop, I’m not feelin’ homicidal / We could’ve been livin’ peace for a while now / I try to say it once again with a smile y’all / It’s all love but I gotta draw a line now / And ain’t nobody here today gotta die now / I’m gonna count 3 then I guess we’re gonna find out / Whoa, whoa, whoa I’m prayin’ for a peaceful solution / Whoa, whoa, whoa I’m prayin’ for a nonviolent social revolution

Bush talking) / Yo post 2001 / It’s a lot less fun / ‘Cuz the world’s gotten so damn serious / The government’s got us lookin’ for the terrorists / But we know who you are / And now it’s 2006 / My little daughter’s in the mix / And I wanna be a better representative / For showin’ love and respect ‘cuz the way we live / Is probably lookin’ bizarre / Yo where we go from here? / It’s 2010 but 2012 is near / I think that where we’re goin’ is not totally clear / I think that transformation is not somethin’ to fear, fear… / Fear is the biggest enemy in the world we live in / Takes all our love / Fear is the biggest enemy in the world we live in / Kills all our love / Fear is the biggest enemy in the world we live in / Don’t let it take your love

In the line of fire / Wondering if there’s something higher / In myself / Lack of wealth and food on the shelf / I’m needing nourishment but not a supplement / A new environment for money poorly spent / Toxic waste misplaced / And a whole race disgraced / Then there’s bigots in my face / Tellin’ me I’m the problem in this place? / Labeled “criminal” / Explanation – minimal / Now condemned / No chance to mend / Misrepresentation in our education / Taught discrimination to a population

My, my, my – my, my, my oh my, oh my, my / They say we’ll forgive, but we’ll never forget / When they’re teachin’ the people the wrong things and confusing history / And they’re lovin’ the wrong things and guiding our misery / How can it be so hard for loving people to see? / The Rockefellers are tryin’ to kill me / Oh can’t you see? / They puttin’ poison in the water and they sprayin’ chemicals up in the sky / I feel a tear well in my eye / (Chorus) / And I know there were sterilizations to cut down my native tree / And I know the plantations were built for the slaves to be / Subservient while crooked masters run free / The Rockefellers are tryin’ to kill me / Oh can’t you see? / They claimin’ rights to all this land and if you stand in opposition, yo the cops will shoot you down / (Chorus) / And you know we will never forget you, when your days are long and gone / And we’ll never forget you, we’ll teach what you did was wrong / Yo Rockefellers – hope you hearin’ this song / They say we’ll forgive, but we’ll never forget

I don’t believe this is your building or your land, but I thank you for sharin’ the space / And I gotta be out before long, so you don’t gotta sweat your place / See there’s mad crazy room out there – I don’t gotta be all up in your face / But a title ain’t nothin’ but a word without a little bit of muscle to build your case / And if you think it’s all peace, why even have a declaration? / And if we all for ourselves, how we claimin’ one nation? / I’ll say exactly how I see it – I got the right to hold my ground / One conquest to another, claimin’ rights to what they found / So when all the space is paid for and you all got your own spots / Will you build up mighty fences to keep the have’s from the have not’s? / And when desire turns to conflict ‘cuz somebody else wants what you got / Does the paper you claim gives ‘rights’ to the land protect you from gettin’ shot? / ‘Cuz it’s all only real when other people agree / And it only takes one single person to see / That your claim to this space don’t mean nothin’ to me / And you can keep this here spot ‘cuz I got places to be / Peace

Yo I was born in the Midwest – Milwaukee / True to the streets, I remember what they taught me / Never flipped, no the pigs never bought me / Yo I got out before the city got me / Moved to the Rockies, bought a little property / They may wanna but they never gonna stop me / Shock me? Yeah I fuckin’ doubt it / Seen wicked shit but I’ve never been about it / Shout it / I represent the revolution / Love manifest, love solution / Keep sendin’ Jah love to the youths and / One family spreadin’ our roots and / Bless to the whole Truth Movement / Keep talkin’ about Building Number 7 / ‘Til every last mothafucka’s hip to 9/11 / Wake the whole entire planet up ‘cuz I’ve had enough / Stand up, let us put our demands up / Hands up, or a fist for revolution / Irreversible industrial pollution / War is not the only solution / But disposin’ of a few bad apples / These dirty, rotten mothafuckin’ assholes / They’re the source of your everyday hassles / We work for their big castles / It doesn’t matter ‘bout the chicken and the egg / It only matters that the master got the animals to beg 2x / Yo, you wanna know who’s runnin’ shit? / Big companies and big government / A few families who got big plans for ya / Many questions but they never answer ya / They never tell you that the fluoride in the water / Comes from industrial waste made in Florida (in Florida?) / While they keep on ignorin’ us / They keep givin’ all our money out to foreigners / But it’s just one nation, right? / One world with a thousand points of light / Yo, these mothafuckas worship Lucifer / Yeah I said it - the baphomet, you get it? / ‘Cuz most of the people ain’t never heard of KMT/ This shit goes way back, way back to Africa / It ain’t a black thing, it’s just a fact thing / Most of us lost touch with the ways of the past / But now we still and bless / Relax and take a breath / Inhale and visualize the falling of this evil empire / (Kathleen Cleaver/Bobby Seale speaking)

Mother Earth, who can save the world? / Will it be the children, every boy and every girl? / Mother Earth, who can save us now? / Is it too late, too far to turn around? / Mother Earth, who can set us free / From destruction? Mankind’s his own enemy / Who will make the soldiers lay their weapons down? / Mother Earth, is it too late to turn around? / They said it all started off as a sense of adventure / And pioneering, I guess it’s all been so censored / And twisted and distorted and straight up lied about / Prophetic visions that the ancestors cried about / Harvesting the oil and the water ‘til we dried ‘em out / They spoke of holes that people dug and tried climbin’ out / Harvesting the minerals and sellin’ what they’re minin’ out / And still some people wonder why the youth are wilin’ out / Because they got no guidance and their elders are no longer there / But they’re smart and they recognize that people care / ‘Cuz they see the grownups workin’ every day / But they’re miserable, and yet they’re too afraid to say / That they question what we value and they question what our plan is / They question what we’ve told ‘em woman, child, and man is / They see the way we put our faith in science / And somebody else’s word and a whole lot of reliance / On a system that doesn’t even really support the little man / It’s mostly self-serving and it taxes the land / And if you ever question, we learn that dogs bite / Like we should know the difference between what’s wrong and right / When it’s clear to see the most successful people / Are often the most greediest and the most deceitful / And it’s the hardest when it’s the people that you care for / It’s just the future that we’re tryin’ to stay prepared for / We recognize our value so we demonstrate it therefore / We make a pact to protect the Earth in fact / It’s not even your property, it’s Mother Gaia’s – give it back / ‘Cuz there’s no amount of money that could pay for that / So stop drillin’ in the ocean and stop sprayin’ in the skies / Aluminum chem trails and your poisonous lies / Yeah, hooked ‘em up to cell phones, blasted to the cranium / Watch us devastate the Earth, depleted uranium / Right this very moment Mother Earth’s been disrespected / Yo, remember how the planet was before the humans wrecked it? / (Chorus) / It’s my love, it’s my life, it’s my hope, it’s my faith for the future of family 3x
