So I would like to [Am]say that we're one tonight,
let us be one in the future, power to all of
the people.

A new day, new [Dm]way for the
DJ to [Am]spin it up
Wrapped in the [Dm]struggle chain,
[Am]it's break loose and live it up
Worldwide
DJs,
Brother
J, mash it up
Brother
J, speak the truth
I'm coming forth by [Dm]the day like
[Am]my timing's [Dm]im peccable
[Am]Fire senses [Dm]clean,
I'm guarding [Am]truth like [Dm]the sentinel
Bat[Am]tlefield [Dm]born,
I'm [Am]a four -star general
Teaching hip -hop about these
vitamins and minerals
I'm [Dm]sent in [Am]the image of [Dm]the
Most
High
[Am]Wisdom will [Dm]unify, [Am]freedom, we [Dm]do or die
[Am]The solu[Dm]tion I envis[Am]ioned
through my [Dm]third eye
[Am]Body, mind, spiritual,
manifest, multiply
The open -eyed rebel,
several levels peri[Dm]pheral
Over[Am]seeing [Dm]the battle of
[Am]knowledge vs. material
Inferior [Dm]minds eat [Am]trick
knowledge like [Dm]cereal
Gen[Am]ocide of pleasures,
slackers and life principles
Prisons of [Dm]the flesh live
[Am]in triple -stage [Dm]darkness
Ig[Am]norance, [Dm]tra dition will turn
[Am]soldiers to [Dm]carcasses
[Am]Time for [Dm]the heartless to [Am]ride out [Dm]the bench I'm a [Am]player,
coach, poise, an underground trend
New
York, down[Dm]town, [Am]midtown,
[Dm]hit em up
[Am]Freedom, [Dm]I manifest [Am]culture,
committ guitar
Worldwide
[Dm]DJ's, [Am]conscious ambas[Dm]sador[Am]
KRS,

A new day, a new [Dm]way for the

Back in the [Dm]struggle chain,
[Am]let's break loose and live it up
Worldwide
DJ's,
KRS, mash it up
I'm not [Dm]a pacifist,
[Am]I'll kick [Dm]your ass in th[Am]is
If [Dm]you ain't ready for [Am]the truth,
stop [Dm]asking
Chris
[Am]There's [Dm]no revolution without revelation
And [Am]I realize these cats don't
want to fix their situation
Then I [Dm]realized a little late with it
But that [Am]revolution only [Dm]works
for [Am]those that participate in it
We have conferences and summits
[Dm]an d cats can fake i[Am]n it
Meditate and pray and an
As -Salaam -Alaikum in it
But [Dm]the racist found[Am]ation
ain't [Dm]shakin' it
[Am]Cause the
Faith [Dm]-Faith
Initiative [Am]money, they [Dm]takin' it
[Am]So now t[Dm]he feds got
your mouth all sewn up
That
[Am]Pentagon hit who saved our
house growing up
Arnold
Schwar[Dm]zenegger,
a foreigner kills the founder of [Am]the
Crips
[Dm]The president [Am]with black leadership
We need [Dm]to raise up our [Am]readership
[Dm]So our children ca[Am]n grow up and
freely lead without reading a script
Uptown, [Dm]downtown, [Am]midtown
[Dm]Hear them all, [Am]hear them all
[Dm]My manifest cul[Am]ture,
[Dm]con vict guitar
[Am]Worldwide

Kill
J, speak the truth
Though [G]I am that I[Am] am in
this illusional land
Of liberty and justice,
am I beast or man?
Though my blood flows
deeper than the oil of
Iran
So many folks still in denial
of my permanent tan
Was I stained by [Dm]sand when
homie said he's my man?
When he [Am]needed more [Dm]re -science
to as[Am]semble his [Dm]land?
From
Big
[Am]Ben to
Pentagon to the
White
House lawn
My work tab is deep,
let reparations be borne
Forty acres and [Dm]a mule,
I want [Am]a gun and a [Dm]horse
Watch [Am]me ride like
Rose[Dm]wood while I [Am]as
semble a [Dm]for ce
So many [Am]people are [Dm]lost,
going [Am]back to the [Dm]source
Willie
[Am]Lynch is just a worker while
Yaku is the boss
Navigate a better [Dm]course,
then no wonder we choose
Hip [Am]-hop is coming [Dm]out from
MCs to pop news
As [Am]can is the [Dm]ori ginal we
[Am]earned through [Dm]dues
Always freedom or [Am]death until we
vanquish these fools
Uptown, [Dm]downtown, [Am]midtown,
[Dm]get em all
[Am]Freedom, [Dm]I manifest cul[Am]ture,
[Dm]come pick it up

KRS,
Brother
J, what you say?
A new day, a new [Dm]way for the
[Am]DJ to spin it up
Rap in the [Dm]struggle chain,
[Am]let's break loose [Dm]an d live it up
[Am]Worldwide
[Dm]DJs, [Am]play your roots, [Dm]I sh[Am]ould jump
Higher [Dm]sciences, a lyrical archdiocese
[Am]I teac[Dm]h and preach what [Am]self -re l[Dm]iance is
I don't care about them
[Am]critics and [Dm]they biases
[Am]I am hip -hop,
I don't depend on appliances
Meaning that, when I'm speaking my rap,
I don't need any technology to produce it
In fact, I can't wait for you and me to build,
so I can really explain hip -hop
I'm the last of the [G]human skill[Am]s
Hip [Dm]-hop, I'm being it, cause I'm freeing it
But them civil right[Am]s leaders
ain't [Dm]seeing it
[Am]They don't [Dm]agree with it,
they [Am]wanna be equal [Dm]with the white
[Am]But I don't believe the hype,
I wanna be equal with the light
And [Dm]if I need to, I'll fight in this bit
Cause [Am]good police work depends
on the likes of [Dm]a snitch
Now [Am]let's [Dm]switch, now let's [Am]switch,
now let's switch
Three times I've changed
things like the
Matrix done glitched
Go on, [Dm]chase them chicks and get paid
But [Am]chicks are really [Dm]chickens,
and you [Am]the turkey that's [Dm]still afraid
[Am]Yo, [Dm]you minute men,
[Am]you gone tom[Dm]orrow
Vic[Am]tory over the streets,
that's our motto
[Dm]Whoa!
My man
Brother
J in the place
KLS1 all in your face
Check it out, production
[Am]Throw up!
[Dm]Rock!
Mix tape [Am]flavor
[Dm]Word up!
Shout out to the whole crew
[Am]Yo, what's up with y '[Dm]all?
[Am]It's a job
