[Kanye West - Blood of the Lamb lyrics]
"There could never really be
Justice on stolen land
Are you really for peace and equality?
Or when my car is hooked up
Know you wanna follow me
Your laws are minimal ‘Cause you won't even
Think about lookin' at the real criminal
This has got to cease
‘Cause we be getting hyped to
The sound of the police
Now here's one little truth, open your eye
While you're checkin' out the boom box
Check out the exercise
Take the word, 'Overseer, ' like a sample
Repeat it very quickly in a crew, for example
Overseer, overseer, overseer, overseer
Officer, officer, officer, officer, yeah
Officer from overseer
You need a little clarity?
Check out the similarity
The overseer rode around the plantation
The officer is off, patrollin' all the nation
The overseer could stop you
From what you're doing
The officer will pull you over
Just when he's pursuin'
The overseer had the right to get ill
And if you fought back
He had the right to kill
The officer has the right to arrest
And if you fight back
He'll put a hole in your chest
Woop, they both ride horses
After four hundred years, " says KRS-One
I have no choices
Blood of the Lamb
Can I hear me a little bit louder?
They will overcome
The Devil is usin' you, confusin' you
Our job is to understand who is who
Righteous indignation in this nation
We gon' start a revolution in this basement
And at the end of the day
It's truly blessings
Y'all had your statistics and
All them goofy questions
Y'all had your fake leaders, don't worry
We got it and plus it's only twenty-one days
To break a habit
Momma, I need you to tuck me in
I done made some mistakes and
They rubbed it in (Boy)
I know you and grandma had enough for them
(Boy) why I gotta be so stubborn then? (Boy)
I'm doin' this one for y'all
So we could end racism once and for all
How many prisons they gon' make?
(Uh) Watch the safe one hand wash the other
Both hands wash the face
Justice on stolen land
Are you really for peace and equality?
Or when my car is hooked up
Know you wanna follow me
Your laws are minimal ‘Cause you won't even
Think about lookin' at the real criminal
This has got to cease
‘Cause we be getting hyped to
The sound of the police
Now here's one little truth, open your eye
