(Verse 1 Part 1, Professor D:)
When people say they don't biz with politics
That's cuz they don't really get what it is
Politics is not simply about politicians
It's who's got the power to affect all conditions
And like it or not your whole life is a part
So you either take up a part or get taken apart
Either you vote or you strengthen their vote by not voting kid
Revolt or you support the system by ignoring it
(Verse 1 Part 2, M-1 of dead prez:)
This US government needs to be put on trial for they're crimes
They lawyers is liars for hire they lie through they spines
So who's the criminal? Not us, they fo'fivers and liars and
Cheaters I never trust'em what you need is your heater to bust!
Not at us but at the enemy the remedy is
Criticism with weapons learn'em a lesson and lickin'
Revolutionary a** kickin' for my n***a's in prison free Shine
See ‘cuz what I got on my mind is power!
(Chorus 1:)
Every drink every meal every quest (that's political)
How you think how you feel how you dress (that's political)
Every pig every squeal every d**h (that's political)
You can't escape the physical everything's political
Every gang every crew every set (that's political)
Every bang every truce ever set (that's political)
Every claim of the truth ever said (that's political)
You can't escape the physical everything's political
(Verse 2, Professor D:)
Everything you think you know is a product of how you're brought up what your
Parents bought up and what the ruling cla** thought up
What's the reason they be feedin' religion and what not? Give it
Some thought before you believe in ‘dem bloodclaat
Consider what you spit in your rap more, you livin' like that or
Are you fallin' into their trap
Door, trying to get the cash to a**ure
You make up all the rent and the bills they ask for
The sh** that's funny? Our enemies print the money
So all we own they own, take control!
Money is created by men it's not God
If you want wealth create it yourself it's not fraud
Think for your self or you will sink in this hell thinking it's
Swell while you drink what they sell and its shrinking your brain
Cells until you figure it out it's so
Typical all your problems were political
(Chorus 2:)
How you eat, where you eat, what you eat (That's political)
How you think, how you feel, how you speak (That's political)
How you make what you make, what you take (That's political)
You can't escape the physical everything's political
What you want, what you need, what's at stake (That's political)
If you care, what you love, what you hate (That's political)
Who you follow, who you lead, your beliefs (That's political)
You can't escape the physical everything's political
(Verse 3, M-1:)
Look, Sharpton ain't my leader
And just because I'm vegan when I'm eating I ain't down with PETA
I'm tryin' ta make a record with the teacha, not Paul Wall
Not ‘cuz he's white, I'm just saying ‘f** balling'
When the government caught you with your draws down
sh** fallin' apart, and now ya'll panickin'?
Calm down, ‘cuz Obama can't save y'all
All this drama for Osama is really to enslave y'all
Skull and bones in a shallow grave yard full of dead
Brave hearts tricked by the military who plays God
Insha'Allah we made it this far political prisoner
In a dream in my dungeon screamin'
Everything's political nothing new under the sun
There's only two choices fight or run, ‘cuz see
Politics is war without guns, war is politics with guns
Know what I mean, you better get one!
(Chorus 3:)
How you know what you know who you know (That's political)
How you go where you go yes or no (That's political)
Who's your friend? Do you really know your foe? (That's political)
You can't escape the physical (everything's political)
What you wanna do and what you gotta do (That's political)
What you can do and what you can't do (That's political)
What you came through and what it made you (That's political)
You can't escape the physical everything's political
(Verse 4 Part 1, Professor D:)
Too many feel the need to always critically judge
This is too political that's not political enough
Man... My life is difficult enough, time to
Give up on the grudge and start givin' up some love
Our common enemies are worse then ever and we'll be hurt
Forever until we learn to work together
They'll continue to divide and conquer us it's a cinch
If your brother's who you k** and dis you're still a b**h to Willy Lynch
(Verse 4 Part 2, M-1)
Light or dark, big or small, that's political!
How you walk how you talk, that's political!
Politics is war without guns, war is politics with guns
Know what I'm sayin'? You better get one!
Cuz you can't fade it, it's gang truce related we
Bang for change it ain't no game you can't hate it
I wanna smack Bush and his mammy for how they did the
Haitians in Miami that's my Fam, coup et teat boo le kaa!
