Shoot'n up and Gett'n High

He lived two train stops away
 I was a train ride away from heaven
 We signify about politics, low income housing Birth control and abortion
 The capitalistic hand around my throat
 Shootin'up dope to cope in this dehumanizing society
 We both found God when he O.D'd
 He found beauty in my black skin
 Amidst the cover girls and clairol ads
 Makin'no mistake what's white is right
 Livin'in a world where the TV shouts
 "Forget where you come from!"
 And damn I thought I was shootin'up Africa in my veins
 White man voodoo slow my brain the while man fights wars and enslaves
 All in God's name
 What ya trying to achieve with your sun tan lotion
 You wanna keep me down keep me down
 Revolution against this racist institution
 The white man shall forever sleep with one eye open
 Dehumanize me.
 Criticize, set aside.
 Livin'in the midst of genocide I hear voices voices are what I hear
 Uprise would you die for your right
