A Thunder Storm

Everybody screaming west side, east side
It doesn't matter, both sides Black men die
Tell me why do we die right before our time
It was said that every Black man committed crime
That's a lie
We can change if we put our minds
on revolution. Let's unite and together we can rise.
In due time thunder storms can produce a flower
Through revolution and patience, then the world's ours
But too much patience without action then we all cowards.
Black power is what I scream right before I die
Nightmares of being murdered by the Amerikkkan kind
It's a known fact that Amerika has been designed
to kill us all. Read your books it's been proven many times.
It's hard to cope with the madness that's going on
but I'm a soldier and as a soldier I gotta remain strong.
Pick up revolutionary books and study them right
And when the time comes, we must not be afraid to fight.
We gotta fight if we plan to reach the top
And Blacks killing Blacks all that gotta stop.
It won't be long before Amerika takes a fall.
Fuck the government, may death be upon you all.
It ain't nothing but capitalists in the white house
And Obama sold us out
I'm fed up with lies and bullshit
Black leaders talking good, but being hypocrites,
Claiming they on our side
Capitalizing off the Third World by teaching lies.
I despise all capitalist because they're evil
I'd rather die than let the government kill my people.
They say we equal, how is that when we still trapped
inside the projects, can't find jobs so we slang crack.
Picture that, little kids without their moms and dads
They on their own, becoming strong now they toting gas
They go to prison, hit the streets screaming "pro Black!"
Then you put them under the jail because they teaching facts.
