Ballot or the Bullet

Give me liberty or give me death
 No truer words have ever been said
 Well are you prepared for your very last breath
 Don't you dare start what you cannot finish
 So when we face, face the adversary
 No longer are we the minority
 And when history repeats her hour
 The pendulum will swing, swing into power
 Though not in vain like our forefathers
 Freedom, never had no room for cowards
 For in the end, there will be equality
 By any means necessary
 The ballot or the bullet
 The choice is up to you
 The ballot or the bullet
 Tell me what you gonna do
 The sword or the pen
 Can be held by the same hand
 What's it gonna take to liberate
 An emancipation, a false proclamation
 All these token words that you legislate
 Sound a little bit absurd
 Hey! And a little too late
 When a house is divided, it just will not stand
 Once it's decided, a line drawn in the sand
 Ah! The ballot or the bullet
 The choice is up to you
 The ballot or the bullet
 Tell me what you gonna do
 The sword or the pen
 Can be held by the same hand
 The ballot or the bullet
 The choice is up to you
 The ballot or the bullet
 Tell me what you gonna do
 The ballot or the bullet
 The choice is up to you
 The ballot or the bullet
 Tell me what you gonna do
 The sword or the pen can be
 The sword or the pen can be
 The sword or the pen can be
 The sword or the pen can be
 The sword or the pen can be
 Held, held by the same hand
