Know what time it is
M1 - yeah, ugh, you betta

Know your enemy, know yourself
That's the politic
George bush is way worse than bin laden is
Know your enemy, know yourself
That's the politic
Fbi, cia, the real terrorists
Know your enemy, know yourself
That's the politic
George bush is way worse than bin laden is
Know your enemy, know yourself
That's the politic
Cia, fbi the real terrorists

You got to watch what you say
In these days and times
It's a touchy situation
Lotta fear and emotion september 11th
Televised world-wide
Suicide planes fallin like bombs
From out the sky they wasn't aimin at us
Not at my house
They hit the world trade, the pentagon
And almost got the white house
Now everybody walkin round patriotic
How we gon' fight to keep freedom
When we ain't got it?
You wanna stop terrorists?
Start with the us imperalists
Ain't no track record like America's, see
Bin laden was trained by the cia
But, I guess if you a terrorist for the us
Then it's okay uh, huh

They try to make us think we crazy
But, I know what they doin
They tryna put us back in slavery check it
To get on welfare you
Gotta get your fingerprints
Soon ya gotta do eyescans
To get your benefit's
Now they got them cards to swipe
Ain't no more foodstamps
Shoulda seen it comin
Now it's too late to get amped
And everything got a barcode
So they know what you got, when you got it
And what you still owe
You seen them projects
Lately you better watch it
Why they got us surrounded if
Money is the object?
Why they use satellites to keep
Track of the criminals?
Why they puttin jails in schools
Is it subliminal?
Cameras everywhere to protect us
From one another or is it the undercover
Disguised as big brother
And even freedom of speech is limited
Mad leaders done spoke up
And look at what these crackas did

And you ain't got to believe me
Go 'head and listen to bush
The dope pusher on the tv
What you think the war is for?
Cause the greedy wantin more and more
We be hustlin the corridor
I would never join the military
One soldier to another
Nigga holla if ya hear me
Goin out to the best sons and daughters
Don't be a lamb gettin led to the slaughter
I'mma keep ridin when my momma released
Cause ain't no stoppin us now, dawg
Freedom before peace ugh
They got a plan for us?
We got a plan for them
And this time we gon' win
Who in? you out? you in? No doubt, we men
Ain't no ridin the fence
It's called self-defense it makes sense
When they tell us we gotta
Shackles on our brains (say what?)
I'll be damned if I sit here and
Let them put us back in chains (singing)
At the bonfires of the city
I've seen blood (sticman - a'what?)
Blood (sticman - a'what?)
Blood (sticman - a'what?)
