What he said was so clear, so true that I had to stop everything and concentrate on his message.
You need Masters in biology, zoology
To overtake Illuminati tricknology
Transform, reciprocate your mental state
Now make a date, to overtake your objective
Show that through life that everything is connected
But not in categories cuz that’s the devil’s story.
Symbols of cannibalism ruin your vision
And thoughts formulate in your mind with no precision.
He paid a cruel price for what they call life
In cells where they treat Abu-Jamal’s dead night
Some ask why but they hate the look in his eyes
Like the child’ the ill omen they want him crucified
The last on the battlefield, the last alive
Besides… they don’t want the African to survive
Sabo the son of Satan was involved in the plot
Legalized the homicide, his soul gonna rot.
Yo, the attempted assassination of Mumia Jamal
They set him up, I come to find out Tupac they wet’em up…
Pharaoh standing behind my [f’ing] curtains with a double barrel, rehearsing
Ready for war now for certain! Biological warfare suits, black gas masks, black boots
Half-ass [censored] becomes the troops
My tons of global warriors is booty now
Plenty thugs [censored] is fruity now…
Freedom is that cold road seldom traveled, by the multitude.
We need to dig through this gravel so we can cultivate this food.
Motivate a few of you fools, regenerate the mood…
Free ourselves from mental bondage, free ourselves from family feuds.
And follow me through this prophecy building our colonies
While our pillars & columns be bigger than the Colosseum.
I call ’em like I see ’em. The devil does the Devil-dance.
Now they wanna murder Mumia. Take action, it’s the only chance.
Now they were playin’ God just to feel the power,
Not to justify that of you and I.
Holdin’ daggers up & and lettin’ you decide.
After passin’ information that’s falsified.
Stand behind a lie? What does it cost to die?
What does it cost to live? Why do they specify?
These terms of “why” when they ain’t the most high…
What they fear they will kill, but The Soul will never die!
Through seasons legions & demons bleedin’ heathens & even-stevens.
I’ve wandered through regions.
These freezin’ evenings & greavin’ til breathing reasons
Would freeze cats like Cleveland.
Now she’s steamin’ like semen slidin’ home on the deacon.
Within my mental from potential through Mumia’s mind
Behind these bars diamond scarred for the cause
I climbed on 50 schemes to lock cats in Mars like dogs.
The fog will clear like tears after a resolution.
In this daily flight through revolution.
You see the Capitol Thugs got nervous cuz
He refused to be they servant.
Cuz he spit truth that shook heads that burned like Black churches.
Prose & verses filled with a million Black hearses.
Watch. See the decision of Dred Scott as it reverses.
So long as the rope is tight around Mumia’s neck,
Let there be no rich, white life we bound to respect.
Cause & effect. Can’t you smell the smoke in the breeze?
My Panther, My Brother, We are at War until you’re Free!
I plan to move my mother(f@#$%ers) to the front line
Ready with guns cocking…
We’ll storm the prisons, get the wards rockin’.
Snipe all the FBI & cops clockin’.
Philly officials bodies droppin’.
Avenge the ’85 bombin’.
Eye for an Eye.
We’ll hang them by the Capitol steps.
Snap they necks, snatch they vests, equip my children with tech.
People protecting Feds calling murder legal execution.
Free the Righteous. I face the bloody revolution…
It’s on…!
Yo, Federal indictment, Militant mind, Enlightenment.
Son we outburst in the courtroom full of excitement.
Face the jury, thugged out with blind fury.
They want us all under the jam. End of story.
Brave & heartless, we can have a million marches,
But when you black, you under attack son, regardless.
Live by the gun, son, and die by the gun,
And revolutionize minds until freedom’s won.
Somebody scream bloody murder, inside of my head.
The Executioner’s plot controlled by the Feds.
Take Illegal action, They want Mumia dead.
This nation is savages, they try to kill us for years.
We watch wizards play games in Washington with your life.
Swung with Spiderman, now we swing websites.
W dot hell’s kitchen livin new condition body cloning switches CIA lynchin.
Mumia trapped in prison!
Marilyn Manson mainstream, aliens visiting,
My skins a misdeman’ when sirens beat screams.
They wonder why the Live Channel got attitude.
The Times got us heated like Zero degrees latitude.
Can you keep a secret like society? The eye is on the rooftop!
They got me under surveillance like they hav’ Biggie & Tupac.
Yo I saw two rocks, heard two shots.
Then the level of my view dropped.
They grazed me but it didn’t phase me.
I fired back and hit two cops!
So I, rumble through the jungle like Indiana Jones,
With the key to unlock the science of microphones.
Hit reverse, dispersed hysteria of planet Earth
Because the first shall be last and the last shall be first!
Yo if Mumia dies, fires in the skies, rebel cries, re-politicize.
Brothers with the lives uncovered.
Look for me in the whirlwind. Dare to struggle, dare to win.
Long lived the Panthers, comrades with answers.
Freein’ all political prisoners of war.
Freein’ the poor.
Open the door.Keep your hands off Assata.
Stop this ism schism prison economy that we live in.
Impeach the president!
Keep on fighting till they give in.
I say f**k the police cuz they’ve been killing us for years.
This ain’t no free country, [N…] get murdered for their ideas.
Free Mumia means: All Africans let go!
Cuz just livin’ in the ghetto put you on Death Row.
You don’t know?
You seen how they tried to do Assata.
Until some real (N…) organized themselves & went and got her.
A lot of crackers verbalize if Mumia dies
Fire in the skies.
But only time will tell the truth from the lies!
As you peep the illusion, cuz I see my peoples losin’
The overall battle to keep Republicracts from choosin’.
After all I feel the brusin’ of the Constitution
When my backs against the wall manifestin’ in their destiny.
They just testin’ me,
Mumia’s spirit blessin’ me,
No alibi, I know Allah is not their ally.
I believe I can fly but this type of Freedom is a lie,
So f**k the government CIA & FBI.
In the holy month of Ramadan doing Dawah in degrees,
Within the means of God speed feel the supreme penalties…
Black non-fiction remains the weapon of choice
Reject the illusion of justice, in white-ears the black voice.
The passion behind the veil,
The flesh behind the bars,
The spirit afront the force,
Whose death and whose cause?
Break the black man down in front of blackfam and all.
Guilty is you all.
Free Mumia Abu-Jamal !
See time will destroy anything for the right price.
In the physical world one man cannot die twice.
To the spiritual world your soul cannot fly twice.
Yet could this be the second time they crucify Christ?
Ask Ed Asner, the actor. After they execute him
There will be a peasant uprising like the French Revolution.
In conclusion, if you detect evil…
Free the Voice of the Voiceless, Defender of oppressed people!
They want us knocked, locked down, boxed up in the ground.
It’s war time now, for how the sufferin’ sound.
We deep in the Realm. The planet petrified, overwhelmed.
We all stars livin’ life on surveillance film…
New World law enforce, Mind rate, cerebral holocaust, no escape.
Fire for burn, the execution date shatter.
We on the front lines, prepared.
I want Mumia out the cage. The time for action is here!
This is a PSA to the PSC and the PPD.
Mumia Abu-Jamal must be set free.
How would y’all like it if we took it to the streets in a discreet fashion,
Still smashin’. Underground arsenal of lyricists.
Live from Death Row
We want the Voice of the Voiceless fully clothed & ready to go.
And if not you will witness the largest uprising you’ve ever seen before.
April 24th, 1954…
