Run

They don't know me well
Deep inside my mind
I just found my soul
With no stars and stripes
All they ever want to do is kill my pride
All we do is live to die
Pero mani, coger el telefono
Solo quiero hablar un ching
Porque tu sabe como esta todo
El trabajo me esta matando
Y todavía no me pagan dinero
Suficiente pa la escuela
Pero olvidate eso
Dame escuchar la musica nueva
Me quiero sentir
Paz
White man telling us to run it, now
Government say
"Keep it a hunnit-thou with me"
I need money now
I need money now
White man telling us to run it, now
Government say
"Keep it a hunnit-thou with me"
I need money now
I need money now
Living in the system, everybody ain't just
There's enough blood to be used by the paint brush
See how a couple of bullets get in the way of
Having a regular day on the wake up
Tell that young boy sorry
Hanging out with the Young Lord Party
A couple of Black Panthers surrounded by macs
In an attempt to get at them
Bringing me back to 1937, in fact
I would even venture to say that it was an act
Of terrorism on the island where my peoples is at
So tell me now
At most
If we have hope
And we that close
Then free Campos
And if not
Believe me homie, if not
We gon' take over
Your race owes us
That waits over
We safe, hold up
White man telling us to run it, now
Government say
"Keep it a hunnit-thou with me"
I need money now
I need money now
White man telling us to run it, now
Government say
"Keep it a hunnit-thou with me"
I need money now
I need money now
He ain't ever have a home
Just studying the basics
Looking for his place in the matrix
I been in the way
But ain't let him getting away with
Everything he says is pain, pain, and paints this
Little picture for me to get away in
This little picture for me to get away
Got the Universe in my eyes
He said it's granted when I die
But it makes me want to stay
I just need answers
Tell me now, how can I wait
Tell me now, how can I wait
When I just need answers
Tell me now, how can I wait
Tell me now, how can I wait
When I just need answers
Tell me now, how can I wait
Tell me now, how can I wait
When I just need answers
I don't even really wanna wait
I don't even really wanna wait
White man telling us to run it, now
Government say
"Keep it a hunnit-thou with me"
I need money now
I need money now
White man telling us to run it, now
Government say
"Keep it a hunnit-thou with me"
I need money now
I need money now
Peep how they deceive us
Peep the ones you call leaders
They shot us then claimed we were militant
Time to give hypercriticism to the hypocrite
A government is born
Then they claim to be sufficient
And I can see the horns
But they claim to be innocent
Til I get an award
I'm pointing out the illicit
And inconsiderate
Politician gifted in diligence
A minute of your silence is needed
I cried and I tried
But they died as I pleaded
My people to blind to get by
As they high as the Zion
They lie in
No lying, I see it
Defiant as I am
This mic is my triumph
And I am the reason
I'm fly as a pilot, deciding to see if
I'm able to surpass the skies
And go high as the weeded
I'm dying to dive in the sea of
Silence
