Big Business Lyrics - Neighborhood Watch - Dilated Peoples

[Rakaa Iriscience] 

no questions 

I pledge resistance to the grass 

that hides the snakes of America 

so they watch it, now I walk with caution 

more careful put more thought to options 

Is the opposite of progress Congress? 

From the school to the street we're beyond stress 

but I fight for peace, that's what the problem is 

war is big biz, ask an economist 

speak in volumes callin' anti-war and anti-American synonymous 

Back in the day I would've gotten black listed just for speakin' up 

Hoover probably would've screamed Communist! 

I want black and brown unity 

but cats get out to bring the jail to the community 

Fightin's nothin' new to me 

I even corrected what the public school system tried to do to me 

Here's a spark encoded in rhyme and love for everyone of the devoted in line: 

We call it art, some call it a crime 

it's the rap Michael Moore, like Bowling for Columbine 

on drums, Fahrenheit, 9-1-1 

Al Queda hit the Apple and the world was stunned 

the villain trained by the hero for the killing 

now you twist $20 bills to see buildings 

Under heavy surveillance 

they might call you a traitor if you want something greater 

Don't get me wrong, America's a great place to live 

just listen to the knowledge I give 

if more than half the budget goes to military spending 

less than half goes to whatever it's defending 

One nation, many gods, individuals with liberties 

and justice for all who are miserable 

[voice in Spanish: escuscha la verdad en la musica] 

[Voice]
