I am not angry I am anger I am not dangerous I am danger I am abominable stress, Eliotic, relentless I'm a breath of vengeance. I'm a d**h sentence I'm forsaken repentance to the beast in his hench men Armed forces and police men that survived of oils and prisons until their cup runith over with lost souls That wear over sized caps like blind folds Shiny necklaces like la**o's Dragging them into black holes And I may have to holla at Fidel Castro To get my other brothers outta Guantanamo And the innocents on d**h row Is probably in the same proportion as the criminals in black robes that Smack gavels that Smash homes that Smack gavels that Crack domes Justice is somewhere between reading sad poems And 40 ounces of gasoline crashing through windows Justice is between plans and action Between writing letters to Congressmen and clapping the captain Between raising legal defense funds And putting a gun on the bailiff and taking the judge captive It is between prayer and fasting Between burning and blasting Freedom is between the mind and the soul It is between the lock and the load Between the zeal of the young and the patience of the old Freedom is between the finger and the trigger It is between the page and the pen Between the grenade and the pin Between righteous anger and keeping one in the chamber So what can they do with a cat with a heart like Turner A mind like Douglas, a mouth like Malcolm, and a voice like Chris? And that is why I am not dangerous I am danger I am not angry I am anger I am abominable stress, illiotic relentless I'm a breath of vengeance. I'm a d**h sentence I'm forsaken repentance to the beast in his hench men Armed forces and police men I will slice his belly open and Free The souls of the Navajo The souls of the Iroquois The souls of the Ibo The souls of the Scottsboro boys The souls of great Black leaders The souls of Kandahar and Baghdad I burn my white and raise my black flag To free the souls of the great black leaders The souls in Attica The piece of solace on the prison floor Until then I am not dangerous I am danger I am not angry I am anger I am abominable stress, illiotic relentless I'm a breath of vengeance. I'm a d**h sentence I'm forsaken repentance to the beast in his hench men Politicians and big business men I'm a teenage Palestinian opening fire at an Israeli check point Point blank Checkmate Now what! I am an inmate short shanked to the c-o Earlobe to earlobe Cut short Case closed Now what I am Sitting Bull with Coronal Custard's scalp in my hands I am Senkay with a slave trader's blood in my hands I am Jonathan Jackson handing a gun to my man I am David with a sling shot and a rock And if David lived today it would be a Molotov co*ktail and a Glock So I say down with Goliath I say down with Goliath But we must learn, know, write, read We must kick, bite, yell, scream We must pray, fast, live, dream Fight, k**, and die free
