Dead Prez - Assassination lyrics

Our people are poor, and you know damn

well nobody wants to be poor

This play is gonna show how the pigs

react when the people start

To take community, control over what

belongs to them

And liberate it back [echoes]

Sometimes I just don't care

[Verse 1]

Murderation, modern hanging education

Price of your life is goin up it aint

inflation

Incrimination, they got my picture at the

station

Elimination, state to state we eatin by

this nation

Them belly full, my trigger finger got

pulled

To cut the bull shots'll warm your flesh

like wool

These tools for survival make fools out

of rivals

Fuck the Bible, get on your knees and

praise my rifle

Your life is done there aint another

place to run

Eat your own gun, scared because my

people never known fun

[Verse 2]

Cops drive down the streets and blow my

friends away

I try to smoke enough lah to take my sins

away

This E&J be freein us in it's own special

way son

We live for the day, the only way dunn

The violence in me, reflect the violence

that surround me

???? Mr. Charley keep his eye on me

To figure my head, but them ass kissin

niggas is dead

We learn the chokeholds with fishermen's

thread

I read The Art of Sun-Tzu in a couple of

fuckin days

Used to practice Kung-Fu with this nigga

that's like, double my age

And you can put this on the government's

grave

Somebody payin for the way we have to

suffer and slave

Assassination, word up

I hope they get the assassins, I hope

that something is done to them

Problem is they're killing them, it

reminds me of something like what

Happened to Lincoln

You aint even safe wit a full clip

I swear on the president's grave

I'm sick of livin in this bullshit

We down to take it to the full length

Meet us up on Capitol Hill, and we can

get up in some real shit

[repeat]

Assassination, [gunshot] yeah
