Mumia 911 (diamond D Remix) Lyrics - The Roots

Chorus: 2X (first time a capella) 

Somebody scream bloody murder, inside of my head 

The exuctioner's plot controlled by the feds 

Take illegal action, they want Mumia dead 

This nation of savages been trying to kill us for years 

[Tragedy Khadafi] 

Yo, federal indictment, militant mind enlightment 

Son, we outburst, in the court room, full of excitement 

Face the jury, thugged out, with blind fury 

They want us all under the jail, end of the story 

Brave and heartless, we can have a million marches 

But when you black you under attack, son regardless 

Live by the gun, dunn, and die by the gun 

And revolutionize minds until freedom come

[Black Thought] 

Check it out, they wants och locked down boxed up in the ground 

It's war time now from how the sufferin sound 

We deep in the realm, the planet petrified overwhelmed 

We all stars livin life out on surveilance film 

New World law enforced, mind rape, cerebral holocaust 

No escape, fire for burn the execution date 

shatter, We on the front lines prepare 

I want Mumia out the cage the time for action is here 

[Pharaohe Monch] 

Yo, the attempted assassination of Mumia Jabal, they set'im up 

I come to find out, Tupac they wet'im up 

Pharaohe, standin behind my fucking curtains 

with a double-barrle rehearsin 

Ready for war now for certain 

Uh, biological warfare suits 

Black gas masks, black boots, half-assed niggas become troops 

My dunns are doper warriors than ?? now 

Plenty thug niggas are fruity now

Chorus: 2X 

[Chuck D] 

??? the illusion, cause I see my peoples losin 

The overall battle to keep Republic rats from chosin 

Afterall, I feel the bruisin of the constitution 

When my back's against the wall, manifestin in their destiny 

Shit they just testin me, Mumia's spirit blessin me 

No alibi, I know Allah is not their alli 

I believe I can fly, but their type of freedom is a lie 

So fuck the government, C.I.A. and F.B.I. 

[Last Emperor] 

Shatan will destroy anything for the right price 

In a physical world one man cannot die twice 

To the spiritual world your soul cannot fly twice 

Yet could this be the second time they crucified Christ? 

Ask Ed Asnor, the actor, after the execute'im 

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 

[Dead Prez] 

I say, "fuck the police," cause they been killin us for years 

This ain't no free country, niggas get murdered for their ideas 

Free Mumia means all Africans let go 

Cause just livin in the ghetto puts you on death row 

You don't know? You seen how the tried to do Assata 

Till some real niggas organized theyselves and went and got'er 

Lotta crackers verbalize if Mumia dies, fire in the skies 

But only time'll tell the truth from the lies 

Chorus: 3X
