Testify

Here we go Nine to five is the blood for your sweat, pay the landlord He's taking your blood for the rent, yo The balance dead so a bullet's what I get When my Mao Tse Tung gets offensive like Tet The whip snapped my back, my spine cracked for tobacco Oh, what the Marlboro man can, I make London bridges fall If they do me like Mumia Abu-Jamal Nobody move, nobody move 86 Philly pigs drive a whole city block And I'm campin' like Hampton Read the word of the innocent Yet death row is locked Capitolism, check the wrong rhythm And they say let Saigons be Saigons but wait a Ho-Chi-minute Waste the day 'cause the night brings a hearse Make a move and plead the fifth, you can't plead the first Are you ready to testify? Get ready to testify Are you ready to testify? Get ready to testify C'mon The revolutionary aesthetic Black leather, beret and powder blue However meanacing this human form on the outside looks Without revolutionary action it is ever so translucent I stand admist grandeous gestures Postures and platforms of romanticism Creating more noise than answers Creating more noise than the sirens That keep our children crouched in corners I sit and watch us do the blind man dance And I can't stand the smell of false composure So I take a Ho-Chi-minute to meditate And think and then tune to the word of Jose Matin Doing is the best way of saying Doing is the best way of saying Doing is the best way of saying Doing is the best way of saying Nine to five is the blood for your sweat, pay the landlord He's taking your blood for the rent, yo The balance dead so a bullet's what I get When my Mao Tse Tung gets offensive like Tet The whip snapped my back, my spine cracked for tobacco Oh, what the Marlboro man can, I make London bridges fall If they do me like Mumia Abu-Jamal Nobody move, nobody move 86 Philly pigs drive a whole Hampton Read the word of the innocent Yet death row is locked Capitolism, check the wrong rhythm And so they say let Saigons be Saigons but wait a Ho-Chi-minute Waste the day 'cause the night brings a hearse Make a move and plead the fifth, you can't plead the first Are you ready to testify? Get ready to testify Are you ready to testify? Get ready to testify C'mon Strike back way of saying Doing is the best way of saying
