Year of tha Boomerang

Lyrics

Tha sistas are in so check the front line
 Seems I spent the '80s in the Haiti state of mind
 Cast me into classes for electro shock
 Straight incarcerated, the curriculum's a cell block
 I'm swimmin' in half truths and it makes me wanna spit
 Instructor come separate the healthy from the sick
 Ya weigh me on a scale, I'm smellin' burnt skin
 It's dark now in Dachau and I'm screamin' from within
 'Cause I'm a cell locked in tha doctrines of tha right
 Enslaved by dogma, talk about my birthrights
 Yet at every turn I'm runnin' into hell's gates
 So I grip tha cannon like Fanon an pass tha shells to my classmates
 All power to the people, 'cause tha boss's right to live is mine ta die
 So I'm going out heavy sorta like Mount Tai
 Wit the five centuries of penitentiary so let the guilty hang
 In the year of tha boomerang
 I got no property but yo I'm a piece of it
 So let the guilty hang
 I got no property but yo I'm a piece of it
 In tha year of tha boomerang
 I got no property but yo I'm a piece of it
 So let the guilty hang
 I got no property but yo I'm a piece of it
 In tha year of tha boomerang
