Zack de la Rocha, KRS-One, The Last Emperor - C.I.A. (Criminals In Action) lyrics

Yea yea yea yea yea! KRS-1 coming through
Big Zack, Last Emperor wOOP WOOP!
Ha ha that's the sound of EMS
Ha ha last Emperor, KRS
Ha ha big Zack you know the rest
Now we gonna come down like this now
Hold tight all crew lISTEN!

This voice shatters the calm of the day
Like an alarm
To wake up bright anew, and take up arms
Cause more is necessary than vocabulary war
Cause the toxic rock imports
Gettin' on your door cIA i see ya later
Cause your time is coming soon
I flip the shit like Pacino and
It's your Dog Day Afternoon attica Attica
Drug agents you bring your static-a
My alphabet will slash that
Neck and flip you, automatica'
Dramatic like Ali Shaheed Muhammed
Brought the vibe i bring the sun at Red Dawn
Upon the thoughts of Frantz Fanon
So stand at attention, devil dirge
You'll never survive choosin' sides against
The wretched of the Earth
The infiltrator, tribe intoxicator
People incarcerator
Liberation movement annihilator
We got you clocked pushing rocks and it fail
We got brothers trooping subways like
The Ho Chi Minh trail
We got the truth daddy, Last Emperor, KRS and
History manifested, tomorrow next lesson

You claim i'm selling crack
But you be doin' that

You claim I'm selling crack but
You be doin' that

You claim i'm selling crack
But you be doin' that


The Last Emperor, KRS-One, and Big Zack

As free market capitalism
And technology expands
The third world's fertile soil
Becomes a desert wasteland
So it takes bands to, demand the
Government provide answers
When Lady Liberty has me
Bewitched like Samantha
And poverty is one of the
Most malignant forms of cancer
To all my Black Magic romancers
And acid rain dancers
Develop close ties like Jerry
Seinfeld and George Costanza
We fear no man and throw jams
That attack counterintelligence programs
Exciting like the epic adventures of Conan
(hah)
I colonize minds like Zaire by the Belgians
Now what the hell is the problem with
This system and what it sells us
I bring ancient relics like
Wyclef did to Zealots
I saw an Iron Curtain called hip-hop and
Got it open like Boris Yeltsin
Whirlwind, tornadoes
In the rain forest if you say so
(whosssshhh) kRS and The Last Emperor like
The Green Hornet and Kato
Zach de la Rocha brings the enraged flow
But all three drop science
And become the most powerful
Alliance since NATO

You claim i'm selling crack
But you be doin' that

You claim i'm selling crack
But you be doin' that



You claim i'm selling crack
But you be doin' that
The Last Emperor, KRS-One, and Big Zack

Need I say the CIA be Criminals In Action
Cocaine crack unpackin'
High surveillance trackin'
Prominant blacks and whites givin'
Orders for mass slaughters
I want all my daughters to
Be like Maxine Waters
When they flooded the streets
With crack cocaine i was like Noah
Now they lower cause the whole
Cold war is over
Communism fell to the dollars
You were grabbin' it
All the assault and batterin' in
The name of intelligence gatherin'?
Now it's karma you battlin', a losin' fight
I chose the mic to recite
Ignite light in the night, aight?
We should beat em
President Clinton should delete em
It's not hard, the CIA simply has no more job
Oh my Goddess, mother, you can fix this
We rock over mixes not six six sixes
Yo this is, the message
To all that can hear it
If you got secret information now's
The time to share it
Call your Congresswoman, your senator
Your mayor it's time for all the scholars to
Unite with all the players
Rearrangin', see times are
Definitely changin' G
They used to tap the phone
Now they tapping while you paging me
It's crazy B, yet it's plain to see
Who the enemy
Who's left the NRA, The ATF, the AMA
Okay, okay, it's all irrelevant
Cause in the new millennium
There'll be no Central Intelligence

Uh, yea, uh, yea throw your hands up
You know whassup kid, throw your hands up
Ha hah yeah, hah hah, yeah
