Paris - Escape From Babylon lyrics

"I'm saying to you, that you will in a few minutes, hear, from the man, who is taking the place, of real black leadership, who will answer the call, for true freedom, justice, and equality in America. Well now, do you understand?" {*applause*} (Paris) Brethern heed the call of enlightenment Of truth, Asiatic discipline's frightenin some who act dumb embraced by decadence The weak in the wake of true black militants Hear the call and all heed the savior Praise Allah cause in his energy made ya the cream, Asiatic earth-born manchild Freedom's comfort for some but meanwhile Young brothers just don't realize Cocaine's the plan, the devil derived Produced and let loose to youth for profit Fake so-called negroes won't stop it Witness lies fed straight to the brotherman Hopes are lost to the malevolent gameplan Annihilation of original citizens of this great planet Earth - listen P-Dog spits the dope words born Batterram's rollin task force swarm Pigeons squawk with the talk of a new high Controlled by the man whose plan is genocide Intense is a sense of ignorance When the wack can't get with the pro-black program that's designed to enduce thought Rhymes ya bought keep Panthers taught Punks stay put, skinheads are flatfoot Keys are played as I stay on route Down the path of the righteous chosen Word is born as the wack stay frozen Locked in time, mindset is Babylon P's the martyr while MC's babble on Letter sixteen is me and some see I freeze and snuff MC's like pipe dreams Makin a mark with the start of the movement Tracks in fact weak wack can't do this Tooth decay cause the fake been snozin Lead the lost and the cost is you've been freed from lies by the wise new messenger P-A-R-I-S is a blessin ya can't underestimate or recreate The sounds of Scarface, let the man BREAK! "There is no in-between - you are either free or you're a slave. There's no such thing as second-cla** citizenship." {*applause*} "The only politics in this country that's relevant to black people today is the politics of revolution. None other." {*applause*} (Paris) Which brings us to the next move - it's a simple case of show and tell or rather show and prove Of made up gank moves and foolish fairy tales said by sissies, to snatch the record sales So when you see me just say I told ya My rhymes'll hold ya and mold ya to soldiers And train your brains with the pride and the insight to do what's right, yo black, it's yo' life! Once upon a time called now we start this A chosen one came forth from the darkness To lead the lost for the cost of a beat tape And make the blind see straight 'fore it's too late I can't wait time's quickly runnin out Call to arms, revolution's in the house Unforgettable the words of wisdom Brought to life by the ten point system * ONE: Freedom and power to determine our destiny * TWO: Full employment for the black community * THREE: Fight the capitalist with a raised fist P.U.I. black and stack awareness * FOUR: Decent housing for the shelter of human beings * FIVE: Education and truth for the black youth * SIX: All black men exempt from military service Hear my words and get nervous * SEVEN: A quick end to police brutality d**h of blacks at the hands of the P.D. * EIGHT: Release of all black men who are held in prison; guilty 'fore proven innocent * NINE: Black juries when our brothers are tried in court And in addition to all his we want * TEN: Land bread and housing and education Clothing justice and peace for the black nation
