Jeff Chery - The People lyrics
rate me(feat Huey P. Newton)
[Intro:]
In America, black people are treated very much as are the Vietnamese people, or any other colonized people because we're used, we're brutalized, the police in our community occupy our area of our community as a foreign troop occupies territory. And the police are there in our community not to promote our welfare our for our security our safety but they are there to contain us to brutalize the murderous, because they have the orders to do so. And just as the soldiers in Vietnam had their orders to destroy the Vietnamese people the police in out community couldn't possibly be there to protect our property, because we own no property. They can possible be there to see that we receive the new process of law for the... and the police itself ignites to do process of law!
Welcome my people! Vagabond watch me preach!
Thinking about lil kids who got shot last week
Twenty of them children, six was adults
It ain't safe out there, and I ain't talking about a rob
I'm a father of two, so I ain't at ease
Not single with this craft, not focused on the cheese
Thinking about that law for a second
It's four quarter D, each record, apply pressure
Each weapon expandable as they undress him
Make your heart burn, that's indigestion!
My suggestions for pussy and cowards twats
You got it bad, blind Michael, cocks
Listen well, listen well when I speak
Damn the urge to smoke, makes us treat em us like a chimney (flush!)
I'm on the rise, where the hue repeat
Power people politics...
And so it very appears that the police down in our community not for our security, but for security of the business owners in the community and also to see that the status quo is kept intact. When we first started we had a police alert control and we would patrol the community, we would saw the police brutalize anyone we'd put an end to this. Usually the police wouldn't brutalize anyone if we were...
Listen! Niggas talk about fagging
Man, these niggas ain't about nothing, nada!
Niggas talk about fam, the same niggas wouldn't lend a hand
I got a daughter who I gotta race
She's about five months, I forgot her age
And I gotta teach her about this world
God chose to bless me with a baby girl
I'm... Gucci, white .. got me feeling like Snoopy
If I die tomorrow, please salute me
Cause I was on my way to the top, Mr. Coofy
The Haitian boss of them underdogs
Rap get finesse, no thanks to Santa Clause (no Sir!)
I'm all for the people when the cannon draw
Like I'm calling down the cab, when I wave my hand, approach!
And as the police arrested the individual we followed him to the day... and bail the individual up. And we .. recruits like this. So therefore the community started to a, to a say that... people are re-concerned about our welfare. We feel that the white students should relate if they were attached to the colonized situation of the blacks. First, because after all this is home. And they shouldn't denounce America's treacherous actions abroad. I think they can be done at the same time. It's just a matter of placing emphasis upon the criminal activities of America.
