One Day As A Lion

Blood - soaked - earth - that you call - home
 Blood - soaked - earth - that you call - home
 Close your eyes but don't sleep
 We comin' like peoples army
 For the people who can't eat
 Who work with no sleep
 For the child with no shoes on their feet
 A generation who flash heat
 Who roll up on the banks for their cash, see
 Are the criminal
 You got the nerve to ask me
 Tear mics 'till my voice get raspy
 Faced flame for five centuries
 And if L.A. were Baghdad we'd be Iraqi
 With our straps in the back seat
 Next to a general tied up with shit in his khakis
 Best leave my mic alone, I'm full grown
 And I'm off to the Green Zone
 Leave my mic alone, I'm full grown
 And I'm off to the Green Zone
 After dark my city's a fuse
 After dark my city's a fuse
 One day - I say - today - we live as a lion
 After dark my city's a fuse
 After dark my city's a fuse
 One day - I say - today - we live as a lion
 Blood - soaked - earth - that you call - home
 I heard this cat got life in the pen
 Crossin' sand in the back of a truck bed
 Twelve deep, heard sirens and lights red
 Was smacked on his dome with the club of a white fed
 No food no water no rights read
 He came north to keep his seeds and his wife fed
 In the middle of the darkest night bled
 Stepped to the law and said:
 "You a minuteman? Wait a minute, man"
 Talk like that might limit your life span
 After dark my city's a fuse
 One day - I say - today - we live as a lion
 After dark my city's a fuse
 After dark my city's a fuse
 One day - I say - today - we live as a lion
 And when our cubs grow
 We'll show you what war is good for
 And when our cubs grow
 We'll show you what war is good for
 And when our cubs grow
 We'll show you what war is good for
 And when our cubs grow
 We'll show you what war is good for
 And when our cubs grow
 We'll show you what war is good for
 And when our cubs grow
 We'll show you what war is good for
