[Intro: Malcolm X] - Police Brutality Speech
[Verse 1: Young Apollo]
The kings been gunned down
The means been summed now
All over the world
They heard shots from the town
Heard shots from the town
Riots to blocks
Charges from cops
Now we locked down
Sprawled out and beat down
Asking god could you please just save us now
Please
Please god can you save us now
What you can't see
Is impossible to prove
What you see on the news?
Thugs and goons
All i see is strange faces
Propaganda as a tool
To make us all just look like fools
Am i blessed with the straight hair
To make em overlook
I guess my grandmother prayed for that
Back when
Back when
She used to run from them white hoods
White hoods and they baseball bats
I see the truth
[Hook: Young Apollo]
I see
I see
I see the truth
I (x7)
I See
I (x5)
I See
If the people stand tall
Stand tall
Then the world won't knock us down (x2)
[Verse 2: Young Apollo]
All I hear is people screaming
Its the peoples world
Screaming its the peoples world
They say
You sound so sure
You sound so sure
But thats absurd
We was beat to concreate
We went digging for peace
We dug to deep
It seems we dug our 6 Ft
To poor mans drunk tasting
Material lifer's
Wall minded
Living like a lifer
I, I can see
Why you believe
What you see on TV
Different faces
But the same criminal to me
Gave us crack
To be murdered in the street's
But they'll call the boys in blue
Just to do that
And kids black or brown
Are who they'll shoot at
Or be locked away in chains
I thought you knew that
But the media forced our minds
To bear through the mistakes
Of a man that pulled a trigger at lives
I see the truth
[Hook]
