[Intro: Chris Ijima]
When will the time come when the children never cry?
When will the time come when the children never cry?
When-when will the time come when the children never cry?
When will the time come when the children never cry?
[Kiwi]
This is your mirror image staring back
Militant, wearing black
Got nothin' to loose, gotta choose, so I dare to act
Hеre with Phatty Boom so assume that you hear thе slap
Like Israeli missiles hittin' kids with an air attack
All of them dead bodies, how can I not be aware of that?
Take it to the Valley like, all my people, where ya at?
Whether we in Palestine
Whether it's for Oscar Grant
Fuck a po-po in the O when they say we can't
We go and take a stand
We're going to march and chant
We bust the windows of the bank
Then we go and dance
We shall no longer be no victims of no circumstance
We takin' down this fuckin' system
We the worker ants
To heal the hurt that's still trapped with it
So I brought heat, talks cheap
Cops keep killin', give 'em more than just a simple flow
This moment is critical
Hi-def stereo
Buckle up
Here we go
Sun shining in the distance, I can see it glow
I'm trying to sprinkle on some love
Trying to see it grow
To see it all come together so the people know
So they can see that mental, physical, and spiritual
No it isn't typical, it's kind of unusual
We building the movement forward
It's something so beautiful
Some that's musical
Critically lyrical
When you come to go see the show
On your mark, get set, now whoa
We doing this from Little Tokyo to Highland Park
I got the fire of my people, love inside my heart
Light up the spark when I hit that Marx, Lennon, Mao
Bless you with a different style
That's hotter than Mindanao
Living the here and now
My folks are doing things
We not relying on no president to bring a change
I'm not just going on stage only to entertain
Ask Martin Luther King if we really overcame
I think not, every other block still the same
City on lock, killer cops on the BART train
Take aim, shoot a young man in his backside
Didn't think he wouldn't be getting home that night
That's right, bullet ricocheted through his chest bone
He wasn't alone, caught it all on the camera phone
Caught the footage on Channel 2
Saw the video on Youtube
Call the mayor put me through
We had enough we about to arrgh
[Outro: Prometheus Brown]
What up people, this is Geo aka Prometheus Brown from Blue Scholars from out of Seattle, Washington and I'm getting phone calls all day but uhhh *phone starts to ring* as a matter of fact, Phatty, it is, it is you. Umm... hold up
