Lyrics

Today we are together, we are unified and on runnin' cower
 When we are together we got power
 That is why we gathered today, celebratin' our own
 We spit flows on foes
 Listen to the message that you never know
 Got a plan for the man and it's federal
 The rhyme animal, back to play the part again
 Clear the madness, and put the message in
 D, the enemy is back to rip the mic
 We come together, so don't believe the hype
 Check my tone, there's a war here at home
 We united and strong, and never move alone
 We rep justice, equality and freedom now
 Put fam first, man, woman and child
 Never mild, keep it hostile 'til we raise
 Where we say, what we mean and we mean what we say
 It's been a long time comin' that we mob as one
 Guerrilla funk, hard truth nigga, that's what's up
 No peace on the street 'til the justice come
 From the ballot to the bullet, if it's on, it's on
 I ain't lettin' nothin' hold me back or block me
 They gon' have to pop me to stop me
 See, I ain't lettin' nothin' hold me back or block me
 They gon' have to pop me to stop me
 Believe, I ain't lettin' nothin' hold me back or block me
 They gon' have to pop me to stop me
 My brother, I ain't lettin' nothin' hold me back or block me
 They gon' have to pop me to stop me
 That's real talk on the one
 Yo, yo, yo, yo, I'm a target, I got proof
 My buildin' got an 'x' on it
 Bloomberg threw the hex on it
 It's like a pistol with effects on it
 On a nigga with arrest warrants
 Hittin' pigs in their chests quadrant where they vest wasn't
 Now he dead cousin
 All you snitches hit the red buttons, we some uncle-tom killers
 Mini-nina concealers, political cap-peelers for this freedom for rilla
 Yo, if police stop the whip you got to eat them trees
 I ain't got no 'g' to give it to them crackers and court fees
 You know my steez, security first, prepare for the worst
 Never caught slippin' if you stay on alert
 Malcolm x said send them to the cemetery if they touch you
 A revolutionary virtue, a dull blade'll hurt you
 I'm up early workin' my machete
 In war, it ain't no warning, you just got to be ready
 I ain't lettin' nothin' hold me back or block me
 They gon' have to pop me to stop me
 My nigga, I ain't lettin' nothin' hold me back or block me
 They gon' have to pop me to stop me
 My nigga, I ain't lettin' nothin' hold me back or block me
 They gon' have to pop me to stop me
 You see, I ain't lettin' nothin' hold me back or block me
 They gon' have to pop me to stop me, yeah, uha
 Yeah, my nigga it's bigger than rap
 You really think you gon' be left alone
 On sayin' that you believe and ain't gon' have to get your scrap on?
 Then yap on, and will see if that's the right route
 While I get my clap on and turn niggas' lights out
 I tried to be nice, now we gon' have to bleed them
 I'm willin' to do a killin' for the price of freedom
 Comin' from the left, nigga, hood is how we kept it right
 So prison or death is just somethin' I done accepted
 So we'll murder a snake, and we'll kill a skun
 This ain't the word of a fake, it's guerrilla funk
 So right now is the time and you turf the location
 Y'all about to see the rebirth of a nation
 Even if some got de-rebelized
 The revolution still will not be televised
 You're government tellin' hell of lies
 And it's evident, when you look in this president's devil eyes
 I ain't lettin' nothin' hold me back or block me
 They gon' have to pop me to stop me
 Yeah, I ain't lettin' nothin' hold me back or block me
 They gon' have to pop me to stop me
 No homie, I ain't lettin' nothin' hold me back or block me
 They gon' have to pop me to stop me
 My brother, I ain't lettin' nothin' hold me back or block me
 They gon' have to pop me to stop me
 That's real talk on the one
 That is why, I challenged you now
 To stand together, raise your fists together
 And engage in our national black messiness
 Do it courage and determination
 I am (I am)
 Somebody (Somebody)
 I am (I am)
 Somebody (Somebody)
 I live in poor (I live in poor)
 But I am (But I am)
 Somebody (Somebody)
 I need your welfare (I need your welfare)
 But I am (I am)
 Somebody (Somebody)
 I'm maybe your seal (I'm maybe your seal)
 But I am (I am)
 Somebody (Somebody)
 I am (I am)
 Black (Black)
 Beautiful (Beautiful)
 Raw (Raw)
 I must be effective (I must be effective)
 I must be protected (I must be protected)
 What time is it? (Unification)
 When we stand together, what time is it?
 What time is it?
 What time is it?
 What time is it?
