Lyrics

It's 8 people on earth with the combined wealth equal to half the population It's insane, it's amazing we even know their names And they still breathin' air The fuck? it's no fair though Bill Gates. Warren Buffett. Mark Zuckerberg. Bill Bloomberg. Carlos Slim. Jeff Bezos. Amancio Ortega. Larry Ellison... it's hellish man 8 fuckin' people own as much as the poorest 3.6 billion Dawg are you kiddin'? This is idiocy Kill 'em all, fuck is we waitin' for? 2.5 trillion dollars in untaxed corporate profits banked overseas to dodge taxes And still they wanna lock up Snipes and Lauryn Hill for a couple mil'? It's fuckin' madness 2.5 trillion though. What the fuck? With that money we could do a lot of shit Including, for example, fix the 2,000 water systems across America That's poisoned with lead and other toxins It's not just Flint It's 45 hundred other affected municipalities This is our reality How we finna change that, dawg? Cop a heater get ready to bang that, prolly, I dunno man Yo, man, what fuckin'...hellhole they manufacture the game, Jack? The whole game be deranged, blad Really doe, I dunno Vision the figures of...hey, listen, god this is ugly, think about it: 1 of 10 people on earth live under 2 bucks a day And your average millionaire couldn't give under 2 fucks away See there's five times as many abandoned houses In America as there's homeless people So if my math is correct, lemme check my notes for a second, oh yeah the system is totally evil A black man is 2 times to even 2.5 times as likely than a whitey to get shot up And/or locked up by the cops, bro, on god it's awful For every dollar that a white man in America makes A white woman makes 77 cents It's hella sexist off top but a black woman makes 69 cents to that same dollar: It's deeper when you add race to the problem A Latina get 57 cents, that's when you Add economic exploitation of Borders as colonial concepts to the midst It's tricknologies employed for generations A system so insidious it has to teach us to convince our own damn selves that we ain't shit Believe it or not I was highly verbal on them little SATs and what not But my math was a little lackin', I think, cuz I Never saw the Revolutionary aspects of communication in organization And, you know, basically the way they that they teach it in school was too basic, basically Basically, they tryin' to play games and make you believe that the numbers ain't say shit but they do, though, you know I came into knowledge outside of my formal education And that's how I came to overstand the mathematics and they supreme placements Standardized testing is a waste of time and brain space, mayne It makes us into automatons Naw, we gods. And born-poets Please know this Trust, love and believe that 1-2-3 that What else? Oh yeah, plus fuck America Born outta genocide and slavery it's crazy That mathematics is mind-bogglin' Peace to the prison strikers POWs of the black and brown working-class genocidal battle That's been ragin' for generations Ever since slavery, and before that An extension of European imperialism born of irrational hatred and exploited for the gain of the few It victimizes all workers, just as a universal issue Kill all ristos, prolly, I dunno man Maybe there's another way Until then, like the brothers say, 'any means' right? Yeah, that seems right Look it's simple mathematics, knowledge Wisdom, understanding Culture. You know, freedom Power. Refinement. Equality God, build, destroy Borin' cypher Y'all know how it go mayne It's check-check-check 1-2 Et cetera Hip hop Never bluff, clever thug Ready for any other mother fucker that wanna get involved No sweat, why you sweatin' boss? God never get a loss Sever the king head from the neckbone, get gone Kool Abaso Dubiako, low-key, slept-on But that's whatever though Point is, is the worker deserves to own the means of production, mayne Plus love is love is love is love mayne Whatever. God bless. One love Peace Allah Jah Ellegua shangó abasa dubiaku, dralansu babbalu, hittin' a bongo, conga, Congo, whatever mayne Jembe. Timba Allah, Allah.... [listing voodo Gods] Jah Allah, one love Peace, kinetic The 7-7 god body, bless bless the abstract math of it Algebra. Cannabis, Animal. Vegetable Minimal manage with it The Spanish kid, amethyst, amethyst, amethyst Drylongso It's simple mathematics, you know
