[Hook: Rasul Allah] (x3) Yo we living under martial law The streets are confined to a police state They passed the Patriot Act Your projects turned into a concentration camp
[Verse 2: Jon Murdock] So keep your third eyes open, check it Military action, the cemeteries packed with People who died when the government started blasting The New Orleans police were told to shot on sight If men were looting just trying to hold onto life Who cares if the levees broke, prepare to let the semis smoke Infants floating face down, is there any hope? Why didn’t the president show? Where was FEMA at? The military policed the area, why they need a gat? Men walk with Glocks,kill you like Anwar Sadat Assassinate your character, now you can’t walk the block The plans are demise, get rid of us the lower class citizens Diminish our remembrance strip us of our religion it’s The fear factor from now and here after There’s hate in our eyes, can’t see or hear laughter Martial law, bombs when you start your car Army fatigues and a gasmask was all you saw It’s off the wall, M16s with the triple burst Some will show resistance, most will die, some were crippled first Rise of the machines and that machine is the government All the chosen ones will see peace, peep the covenant And be prepared, most minds stay oblivious To the signs and the times that we living with
[Verse 3: Lex Starwind] POW concentration lockdown Military brigade, get raid with them Glock rounds Ain’t no cops now, just MPs in fatigues In a wedge formation you was MC marines Flack vests, kevla- coated steel soldiers real focused Trained to search and destroy these decoy components Habeas corpus codecs alimonious sacrilegious and felonious The way puppet masters controlling us Pulling strings to profit, prosper in their projects Propose global control but that’s another process Parallel and perpendicular, put it particular People pulling political powers, the perfect picture for the Rich and the famous but the poor and the dangerous Get tossed in a 5 by 9, put in them chambers Brainless, a slave stuck in a boat with strangers Hangman with the noose waiting patient Collateral damage to shatter the planet When the masses mass-panic I’m blasting last standing Running man ran stranded couldn’t stand it These stone-cold souls that own everything we handed Mayflower ship landed flipped abandoned New world order fourth quarter like they planned this Supreme domination in the cost of war Lost Children of Babylon, this is Martial Law
[Verse 4: Atun Sen Geb] When I first wrote they’ll kill y’all, sat just broke at the corner Of Montana and 2 Avenue I seen my father A lung-sucker’s being abused, he maced, erased sign of using their cellphone Said call your mother, warn your mother The MPs had him handcuffed while he was in his wheelchair I stared amazed at this fucked up view that was the case In the middle of the street for the beast to use To throw the whole block’s families in for now I’m on the loose with my Cs in the backseat I roll the window down, niggas rock my wig from side to side This is chaos, I bust off in the air I’m coming through let’s ride clear the sidewalk, I’m doing 90 Made it to the highway trying to reach my wifey But ah oh wait they got the cellphones blocked off Then I’m locked in my car it’s her wailing You know what happened baby, I’m at the rec center With thousands of other women in prison Our clothes have been ripped off, they feeding us slop and broth I think they about to rape us, please come and save us My dear, I’ll be there in a flash, I aimed the missiles last week Before the shit went down, blast off on my countdown A tent city meltdown The mad kings found they’s about to be uncrowned
[Verse 5: Cosmic Crusader] Mentally controlling the weak, overseers be patrolling the street Combative peace keepers holding the heat Extoling the Greek, fraternal order of the faggots Feeding on the maggots of the corpses of the martyrs Scorched the forefathers, dream of Freemasonry Contempt for the east as they seek to eat insatiably You wait to be labelled enemy combatant Insurrection is consurging, you drink contaminants Infectious agents in the currents Water fluoridation in sixty-six percent of the nation Sedation of your motivation and hard earned aggravation Suppress your voice, they dealt your choice Debate and meet the delta force Like William Coopermeet your fate when Stormtroopers breach your gate Seek define those that speak their mind And cease the line of communication up with entertainment And down with education, mass media stupificaiton Imposed ignorance track your through retinal scans and finger prints Sacrifice civil liberties for homeland security Silenced through subversion, gun control is peace perversion We’ve realised the lies of international ties Constitution’s capsized, there is no free enterprise Lady Liberty at gun point is forced to start undressing If you’re not outraged must not be paying attention
[Hook: Rasul Allah] (x3) Yo we living under martial law The streets are confined to a police state They passed the Patriot Act Your projects turned into a concentration camp
