Screw the Babylon, watch them.
Yo, police brutality is still a big issue in the United States
Understand your enemy
There are thousands of cases reported annually of police misconduct
This goes out to Timothy Stansbury and all victims of police brutalities
It's time this comes to an end
[Chorus]
Dem' shoot at us
Turn around and deny it.
People on the streets are dying.
We must come together
Fight depression and pull de pressure
On de system that tries to diss us,
tries to hurt us, and tries to kill us.
We don't win, we fight again.
We gon fight until the end, until the end,
We fight until we win, until we win.
[Sabac]
Unjustified shootings, fatal chokings, severe beatings,
Police attack the innocent without fair reason.
Precincts are full of cowards abusin authority.
Minorities abuse majority, people livin in poverty.
Priority, is them doing right by the nation
but large parts of it's been human rights violation.
Tired of being patient waitin for internal affairs
to show. Improve this, the truth is, we've been burnin for years.
Use your weapons, fight back kid, that's how the game goes.
My boy Kevin got his skull cracked by pigs in plain clothes.
They told him there's agress, if he doesn't stay calm,
and proceeded to put cigarettes out in his palm.
Now he can't think, he can't feel,
Sometimes you gotta grab steel, blast, peal
Before they sentence you and serve your last meal.
I know fightin back is easier said then actin
Let's start movin forward and stop steppin backwards.
[Chorus]
Dem' shoot at us
Turn around and deny it.
People on the streets are dying.
We must come together
Fight depression and pull de pressure
On de system that tries to diss us,
tries to hurt us, and tries to kill us.
We don't win, we fight again.
We gon fight until the end, until the end,
We fight until we win, until we win.
[Immortal Technique]
On the day, me and Sabac Red,
drop dead, knocked by the feds,
Or get shot with a glock in the head
Like the.. Bloods on the corner, the block'll be red
And like the passion of Christ, there'll be alot to be said
Fuck a protest in the street with all of my peeps
My soul will never let a crooked cops family sleep.
And you'll never find peace, even in retirement.
Like Amadou Diallo cops that turned into firemen.
I'll give you trojan lyin in the sleepin hypnosis,
Nightmares about drownin in an ocean of roaches.
Molested by dead bodies full of worms and locousts.
But the insects are nothing when the judgment approaches.
Call my spirit the coldest, you say that I'm bitter
But I'm sick of cops callin me a spic and nigga.
And you pigs probably wont get the message I write you,
Cuz the industry is racist, mother fuckers just like you.
[Chorus]
Dem' shoot at us
Turn around and deny it.
People on the streets are dying.
We must come together
Fight depression and pull de pressure
On de system that tries to diss us,
tries to hurt us, and tries to kill us.
We don't win, we fight again.
We gon fight until the end.
[Sabac]
Not everyone is built for war when it comes to cops and
Fear plays a part so I'll inform you of your options.
Get the names and badges of cops from the precinct
Show your face in the street so police know you decent.
Keep them on their toes take flicks and videos
Impose injustices cuz them clips can be gold.
Hold a coalition in your buildin, a new movement,
Raise cash, start a civilian review unit.
Be aware of wrong doings, inform your whole alliance.
Write the senator to put a end to the cold and silence.
Let's unite fight back know our rights watch the government.
Apply better laws and enforce harsher punishment,
For pigs who beat kids for no apparent reason.
We acted on the defense while battlin the precinct.
If the system won't respond to your truth and facts,
Bear arms, they've been warned, retaliate and shoot back.
[Chorus]
Dem' shoot at us
Turn around and deny it.
(lighter, lighter)
People on the streets are dying.
We must come together
Fight depression and pull de pressure
On de system that tries to diss us,
tries to hurt us, and tries to kill us.
We don't win, we fight again.
We gon fight until the end, until the end,
We fight until we win, until we win.
Look, I'm not saying that all police are bad,
But they have quotas that they need to meet.
So what happens if there's not a lot of crime and there's not a lot of stuff going on in the streets?
They can't meet their quotas.
That's why they inflict, they insight, these kind of things that go on in the streets;
So they can meet their quotas.
It's got to stop right here and now.
People rise up; put an end to police brutality.
Know your rights, know your enemy.
We will fight until the end.
