I testified
  My mama cried
  Black people died
  When the other man lied
  See the TV listen to me double trouble
  I overhaul and I'm comin'
  From the lower level
  I'm takin' tabs
  Sho nuff stuff to grab
  Like shirts it hurts
  Wit a neck to wreck
  Took a poll 'cause our soul
  Took a toll
  From the education
  Of a TV station
  But look around
  Hear go the sound of the wreckin' ball
  Boom and Pound
  When I
  Shut 'em down
  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
  What I use in the battle for the mind
  I hit it hard
  Like it supposed
  Pullin' no blows to the nose
  Like uncle L said I'm rippin' up shows
  Then what it is
  Only 5 percent of the biz
  I'm addin' woes
  That's how da way it goes
  Then U think I rank never drank, point blank
  I own loans
  Suckers got me runnin' from the bank
  Civil liberty I can't see to pay a fee
  I never saw a way to pay a sap
  To read the law
  Then become a victim of a lawyer
  Don't know ya, never saw ya
  Tape cued
  Gettin' me sued
  Playin' games wit' my head
  What the judge said put me in the red
  Got me thinkin' 'bout a trigger to the lead
  No no
  My education mind say
  Suckers gonna pay
  Anyway
  There gonna be a day
  'Cause the troop they roll in
  To posse up
  Whole from the ground
  Ready to go
  Throw another round
  Sick of the ride
  It's suicide
  For the other side of town
  When I find a way to shut 'em down
  Who count the money
  In da neigborhood
  But we spendin' money
  To no end lookin' for a friend
  In a war to the core
  Rippin' up the poor in da stores
  Till they get a brother
  Kickin' down doors
  Then I figure I kick it bigger
  Look 'em dead in the eye
  And they wince
  Defense is pressurized
  They don't want it to be
  Another racial attack
  In disguise so give some money back
  I like Nike but wait a minite
  The neighborhood supports so put some
  Money in it
  Corporations owe
  Dey gotta give up the dough
  To da town
  or else
  We gotta shut 'em down
