| | Album: | It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back | | Track: | Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 82 | | | | Lyrics: | I got a letter from the government
The other day
I opened and read it
It
said they were suckers
They wanted me for their army or whatever
Picture me given' a
damn I said never
Here is a land that never gave a damn
About a brother like me
and myself
Because they never did
I wasn't wit' it but just that very minute...
It occured to me
The suckers had authority
Cold sweatin' as I dwell in my
cell
How long has it been?
They got me sittin' in the state pen
I gotta get
out - but that thought was thought before
I contemplated a plan on the cell floor
I'm not a fugitive on the run
But a brother like me begun - to be another one
Public
enemy servin' time - they drew the line y'all
To criticize me some crime - never the less
They could not understand that I'm a Black man
And I could never be a veteran
On the strength, the situation's unreal
I got a raw deal, so I'm goin' for the steel
They got me rottin' in the time that I'm servin'
Tellin' you what happened the same
time they're throwin'
4 of us packed in a cell like slaves - oh well
The same
motherfucker got us livin' is his hell
You have to realize - what its a form of slavery
Organized under a swarm of devils
Straight up - word'em up on the level
The
reasons are several, most of them federal
Here is my plan anyway and I say
I got
gusto, but only some I can trust - yo
Some do a bid from 1 to 10
And I never did,
and plus I never been
I'm on a tier where no tears should ever fall
Cell block and
locked - I never clock it y'all
'Cause time and time again time
They got me servin'
to those and to them
I'm not a citizen
But ever when I catch a C-O
Sleepin'
on the job - my plan is on go-ahead
On the strength, I'ma tell you the deal
I got
nothin' to lose
'Cause I'm goin' for the steel
You know I caught a C-O
Fallin' asleep on death row
I grabbed his gun - then he did what I said so
And everyman's got served
Along with the time they served
Decency was deserved
To understand my demands
I gave a warnin' - I wanted the governor, y'all
And
plus the warden to know
That I was innocent -
Because I'm militant
Posing a
threat, you bet it's fuckin' up the government
My plan said I had to get out and break north
Just like with Oliver's neck
I had to get off - my boys had the feds in check
They couldn't do nuthin'
We had a force to instigate a prison riot
This is
what it takes for peace
So I just took the piece
Black for Black inside time to cut
the leash
Freedom to get out - to the ghetto - no sell out
6 C-Os we got we ought to
put their head out
But I'll give 'em a chance, cause I'm civilized
As for the rest
of the world, they can't realize
A cell is hell - I'm a rebel so I rebel
Between
bars, got me thinkin' like an animal
Got a woman C-O to call me a copter
She tried
to get away, and I popped her
Twice, right
Now who wanna get nice?
I had 6
C-Os, now it's 5 to go
And I'm serious - call me delirious
But I'm still a captive
I gotta rap this
Time to break as time grows intense
I got the steel in my
right hand
Now I'm lookin' for the fence
I ventured into the courtyard
Followed by 52 brothers
Bruised, battered, and scarred but hard
Goin' out
with a bang
Ready to bang out
But power from the sky
And from the tower
shots rang out
A high number of dose - yes
And some came close
Figure I
trigger my steel
Stand and hold my post
This is what I mean - an anti-nigger machine
If I come out alive and then they won't - come clean
And then I threw up my steel
bullets - flew up
Blew up, who shot...
What, who, the bazooka was who
And to
my rescue, it was the S1Ws
Secured my getaway, so I just gotaway
The joint broke,
from the black smoke
Then they saw it was rougher thatn the average bluffer
'Cause
the steel was black, the attitude exact
Now the chase is on tellin' you to c'mon
53
brothers on the run, and we are gone | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
