[00:00.066]You have the emergence in human society of this thing that's called the State
[00:05.760]What is the State?
[00:07.119]The State is this organized bureaucracy
[00:10.724]It is the police department
[00:13.597]It is the Army, the Navy
[00:15.321]It is the prison system, the courts, and what have you
[00:18.430]This is the State
[00:19.475]It is a repressive organization
[00:21.878]But the state and gee well, you know
[00:24.464]You've got to have the police because if there were no police
[00:27.364]Look at what you'd be doing to yourselves
[00:29.976]You'd be killing each other if there were no police!
[00:32.222]But the reality is the police become necessary in human society
[00:36.689]Only at that juncture in human society
[00:39.902]Where it is split between those who have and those who ain't got
[00:43.978]I throw a Molotov cocktail at the precinct
[00:46.668]You know how we think:
[00:47.582]Organize the hood under I Ching banners
[00:50.247]Red, Black, and Green instead of gang bandanas
[00:52.729]FBI spying on us through the radio antennas
[00:55.471]And them hidden cameras in the streetlight watching society
[00:58.267]With no respect for the people's right to privacy
[01:00.957]I'll take a slug for the cause like Huey P
[01:03.334]While all you fake n*ggas try to copy Master P
[01:06.051]I want to be free to live, able to have what I need to live
[01:09.055]Bring the power back to the street where the people live
[01:11.641]I'm sick of working for crumbs and filling up the prisons
[01:13.992]Dying over money and relying on religion
[01:17.179]For help. We do for self like ants in a colony
[01:19.556]Organize the wealth into a socialist economy
[01:22.142]A way of life based off the common need
[01:24.389]And all my comrades are ready, we're just spreading the seed
[01:27.315]The average Black male
[01:28.490]Live a third of his life in a jail cell
[01:31.207]Cause the world is controlled by the white male
[01:33.871]And the people don't never get justice
[01:36.536]And the women don't never get respected
[01:39.331]And the problems don't never get solved
[01:41.891]And the jobs don' never pay enough
[01:44.529]So the rent always be late
[01:46.828]Can you relate?
[01:48.134]We living in a police state
[01:48.918]No more bondage, no more political monsters
[01:52.183]No more secret space launchers
[01:54.325]Government departments started it in the projects
[01:56.833]Material objects, thousands up in the closets
[01:59.602]Could've been invested in a future for my comrades
[02:02.240]Battle contacts, primitive weapons out in combat
[02:04.931]Many never come back, pretty n*ggas be running with gats
[02:07.752]Rather get shot in they back than fire back
[02:10.103]We tired of that, corporations hiring Blacks
[02:12.480]Denying the facts exploiting us all over the map
[02:15.249]That's why I write the shit I write in my raps
[02:17.182]It's documented, I'm in it, every day of the week I live in it
[02:20.735]Breathing it, it's more than just ****ing believing it
[02:23.347]I'm holding M1's, rolling up my sleeves an' shit
[02:26.116]It's Cee-lo for push-ups now
[02:27.893]Many headed for one conclusion
[02:29.277]Niggas ain't ready for revolution
[02:31.445]The average Black male
[02:32.621]Live a third of his life in a jail cell
[02:35.285]Cause the world is controlled by the white male
[02:37.976]And the people don't never get justice
[02:40.536]And the women don't never get respected
[02:43.279]And the problems don't never get solved
[02:45.996]And the jobs don' never pay enough
[02:48.529]So the rent always be late
[02:50.750]Can you relate?
[02:51.899]We living in a police state
