(feat. Dice Raw, P.O.R.N., Talib Kweli)<br />

<br />

[Chorus: (Dice Raw) Talib Kweli]<br />

(I will not apologize) I will not apologize<br />

(I will not apologize) I will not apologize<br />

This is for all of my peoples who understand and truly recognize<br />

Some won't get it for that I won't<br />

(I will not apologize) I will not apologize<br />

(I will not apologize) I will not apologize<br />

This is for all of my peoples who understand and truly recognize<br />

Some won't get it for that I won't apologize<br />

<br />

[P.O.R.N.]<br />

I'm so sick cause I'm infected but but I don't need a medic<br />

Need a liquid anesthetic, let me show you how I get it<br />

I don't got it but I bet it, I don't worry, I don't sweat it<br />

You can bitch, you can dead it, you can take it there like FedEx<br />

Nothing sweet diabetic, big dog can't pet it<br />

Pack an L then I wet it then I fill it till it's pregnant<br />

(Take the high back) face it everybody got a favorite<br />

I embrace it like I date it but my grandma think I chase it<br />

(Like oh yeah) I told her that her baby moving slower<br />

Cuz the world is on his shoulders then I woke up out that coma<br />

(And got right back) at it with a little black 'matic<br />

Lay you down craft-matic, then I'm gone, black magic<br />

(To the hideout) you don't want to gamble with the devil<br />

Especially when them chewy blueys got me on another level<br />

Cuz my teacher think I'm slow but my momma think I'm special<br />

But even she know I'm coming back like an echo.<br />

<br />

[Chorus: (Dice Raw) Talib Kweli]<br />

<br />

[Dice Raw]<br />

For the statements I'm about to make I will not apologize<br />

Niggas talk a lot of shit, really need to stop the lies<br />

Jewels rented, cars rented, homie that ain't authentic<br />

Acting tough on TV but to me you seem a little timid<br />

Don't blame the nigga, blame America, it's all business<br />

Acting like a monkey is the only way to sell tickets<br />

Shit I can dig it, niggas gossip silly digits<br />

White kids buy it, it's a riot when we talking about pimping<br />

Or sipping on old English brew or whatever they think we do<br />

Spraying double Uzis cuz you know they think we live in zoos<br />

The problem is with this everyone seems to be real confused<br />

The niggas on the streets to the old people that watch the news<br />

And watch BET and the crazy shit they see<br />

They associate with you do the same shit to me<br />

When you look at me you see just a nigga from the projects<br />

But can't understand this nigga's mind set but still<br />

<br />

[Chorus: (Dice Raw) Talib Kweli]<br />

<br />

[Black Thought]<br />

Yo, a revolution's what it's smelling like, it ain't going be televised<br />

Governments is hellified, taking cake and selling pies<br />

I ain't got a crust or crumb, to get some I'd be well obliged<br />

Murder is comodified, felon for the second time<br />

Never was I into chasing trouble I was followed by<br />

Facing trouble with no alibi, had to swallow pride<br />

Vilified, victimized, penalized, criticized<br />

Ran into some people that's surprised I was still alive<br />

Look into my daughter's eyes, wonder how can I provide<br />

Got to get from A to B but how can I afford to drive? <br />

Messed around, tried to get a job and wasn't qualified<br />

Had to see a pal of mine, got to get the lightning rod<br />

Now I'm in the black Impala looking for the dollar sign<br />

Palms get the itching man I got to get the calamine<br />

Before I fall behind, guess the grind will be my 9 to 5<br />

I will not be conquered by, I will not apologize<br />

<br />

[Chorus: (Dice Raw) Talib Kweli]
