Dilated Peoples - Big Business lyrics
[Dilated Peoples - Big Business lyrics]
No questions
I pledge resistance to the grass
That hides the snakes of America
So they watch it, now I walk with caution
More careful put more thought to options
Is the opposite of progress Congress?
From the school to the
Street we're beyond stress
But I fight for peace
That's what the problem is
War is big biz, ask an economist
Speak in volumes callin' anti-war
And anti-American synonymous
Back in the day I would've gotten
Black listed just for speakin' up
Hoover probably would've screamed Communist!
I want black and brown unity
But cats get out to bring
The jail to the community
Fightin's nothin' new to me
I even corrected what the public school
System tried to do to me
Here's a spark encoded in rhyme and love
For everyone of the devoted in line:
We call it art, some call it a crime
It's the rap Michael Moore
Like Bowling for Columbine
On drums, Fahrenheit, 9-1-1
Al Queda hit the Apple and
The world was stunned
The villain trained by the
Hero for the killing
Now you twist $20 bills to see buildings
Under heavy surveillance
They might call you a traitor
If you want something greater
Don't get me wrong
America's a great place to live
Just listen to the knowledge I give
If more than half the budget
Goes to military spending
Less than half goes to
Whatever it's defending
One nation, many gods
Individuals with liberties
And justice for all who are miserable
Yeah Babu, Dilated Peoples
Neighborhood Watch, worldwide
Expansion, Iriscience evidence, Babu
I pledge resistance to the grass
That hides the snakes of America
So they watch it, now I walk with caution
More careful put more thought to options
Is the opposite of progress Congress?
From the school to the
Street we're beyond stress
But I fight for peace
That's what the problem is
War is big biz, ask an economist
Speak in volumes callin' anti-war
And anti-American synonymous
Back in the day I would've gotten
Black listed just for speakin' up
Hoover probably would've screamed Communist!
I want black and brown unity
But cats get out to bring
The jail to the community
Fightin's nothin' new to me
I even corrected what the public school
