(to the ancestors)
can't keep
this time gon' be more a riot (to the warriors)

this time be more than a riot (to those who came before us)
can't keep
this time be more than a riot (long lived the revolution)
can't quiet
this time gon' be more a riot

[stic.man]
religion is prison
the people locked up in different divisions
some of them promise you
but I see a whole lot of ism-scism
in the form of spirituality
slave mentality, reality
what we supposed to suffer and smile and be content?
sendin our to the clouds? (stic.man - uhn uh)
i want my heaven now, on earth
and if the preacher ain't us, then we takin his church
what is it worth to have the biggest
when the people got miserable living
no water, no lights, no
all over africa we fight, but we have to
cause no power in the gospel
the priest puttin powder in his nostril
and the elder's council fails to
and the children suffer daily need
and the people can eat
is it a sin to up
to fight against the ones put is in handcuffs?
goddamn, what to the daily bread, spread love
and not what the bible said, but in the of the bible
how much is spread compared to how much blood is shed

everyday my people get the bus
