Roots - Mumia 911 lyrics

rate me

Chorus: 2x (first time a capella)<br />

Somebody scream bloody murder, inside of my head<br />

The exuctioner's plot controlled by the feds<br />

Take illegal action, they want mumia dead<br />

This nation of savages been trying to kill us for years<br />

<br />

[tragedy khadafi]<br />

Yo, federal indictment, militant mind enlightment<br />

Son, we outburst, in the court room, full of excitement<br />

Face the jury, thugged out, with blind fury<br />

They want us all under the jail, end of the story<br />

Brave and heartless, we can have a million marches<br />

But when you black you under attack, son regardless<br />

Live by the gun, dunn, and die by the gun<br />

And revolutionize minds until freedom come<br />

<br />

[black thought]<br />

Check it out, they wants och locked down boxed up in the ground<br />

It's war time now from how the sufferin sound<br />

We deep in the realm, the planet petrified overwhelmed<br />

We all stars livin life out on surveilance film<br />

New world law enforced, mind rape, cerebral holocaust<br />

No escape, fire for burn the execution date<br />

Shatter, we on the front lines prepare<br />

I want mumia out the cage the time for action is here<br />

<br />

[pharaohe monch]<br />

Yo, the attempted assassination of mumia jabal, they set'im up<br />

I come to find out, tupac they wet'im up<br />

Pharaohe, standin behind my fucking curtains<br />

With a double-barrle rehearsin<br />

Ready for war now for certain<br />

Uh, biological warfare suits<br />

Black gas masks, black boots, half-assed niggas become troops<br />

My dunns are doper warriors than ?? now<br />

Plenty thug niggas are fruity now<br />

<br />

Chorus: 2x<br />

<br />

[chuck d]<br />

??? the illusion, cause i see my peoples losin<br />

The overall battle to keep republic rats from chosin<br />

Afterall, i feel the bruisin of the constitution<br />

When my back's against the wall, manifestin in their destiny<br />

Shit they just testin me, mumia's spirit blessin me<br />

No alibi, i know allah is not their alli<br />

I believe i can fly, but their type of freedom is a lie<br />

So fuck the government, c.i.a. and f.b.i.<br />

<br />

[last emperor]<br />

Shatan will destroy anything for the right price<br />

In a physical world one man cannot die twice<br />

To the spiritual world your soul cannot fly twice<br />

Yet could this be the second time they crucified christ?<br />

Ask ed asnor, the actor, after the execute'im<br />

There will be a peasant uprising like the french revolution<br />

In conclusion, if you detect evil<br />

Free the voice of the voiceless, defender of oppressed people<br />

<br />

[dead prez]<br />

I say, "fuck the police," cause they been killin us for years<br />

This ain't no free country, niggas get murdered for their ideas<br />

Free mumia means all africans let go<br />

Cause just livin in the ghetto puts you on death row<br />

You don't know? you seen how the tried to do assata<br />

Till some real niggas organized theyselves and went and got'er<br />

Lotta crackers verbalize if mumia dies, fire in the skies<br />

But only time'll tell the truth from the lies<br />

<br />

Chorus: 3x
