No, I'm geasedWithout no justice there'll be no peaceNo justiceThere will never be...No peaceWithout...No justiceThere will never be...No peaceSee, I'm a programmed warrior, built to lastA Five Percenter who descends from the Lost Tribe of ShabazzBarin the truth, I'm not scared of yaIs this the United States or the United Snakes of America?This is a livin hell and I'm not ( ? )I refuse to burn in America's melting potI'm angry, you can't refrain me, I make em all seeWord is bond it was wrong how they did [Name]As far as I can see her privacy was exploitedThey beat her and raped her, put her in the back of manureEngraved 'nigger' on the stomachUp to this day a lot of people think she frontedIs it a lie or is it incidental?People who are raped names' supposed to be kept confidentialBut she was exploited at a young age, it's such a shameI never heard the Central Park jogger's nameBut straight to the point and on the ballI be the universal true Son of Man and and a ( ? )I pity you idiots like Arsenio HallJokes about our sister, he thinks it's funny, y'allIt's sad to see ( ? ) so much as a minorI'm glad to see the Nation of Sslam refined herYou want peace, well, let the unjust stuff ceaseIf we don't have justice, there will be no peaceNo justiceThere will never be...No peaceWithout...No justiceThere will never be...No peaceBreak it down(I think that the solution rests with the peopleit's a mistake to rely on professorsracism is learnednobody is born a racistand some people have Ph.D.'s in racism)The Mighty Maestro created a beat that was lethalThe source to bring forth power to the peopleThe rhythm was made to be rolled by the hostSo I'ma ride the rhythm from New York to the West CoastBrotherman takin a stand, demandin respectI'm not with the situation in TeaneckThey said he was dangerous, well, I'm concernedHow could he be so dangerous with his back turned?They said, "Freeze! Halt!" The brother stoppedThrew his hands in the air, yeah, and still he got shotThey said he had a shiny object in his handSo they killed the manAnd is this justice, no way, JosHe didn't get arrested, he was suspended with payTalk about armed and dangerous, accountedHow come I never heard nothin else about it?I'm dead up, I'm goin head up, see, the buck stopsHere, I'm sick and tired of corrupt copsI gotta drop cause I don't think it will ever stopMy brain is a Tec-9 and it's kept *****edAnd it's got just a few more rounds to goThey're goin pound for pound, blow for blowYou want peace, let the unjust stuff ceaseIf we don't have justice, there'll be no peaceNo justiceThere will never be...No peaceWithout...No justiceThere will never be...No peaceNo justiceNo peacePeace to Allah's Nation(...they come together in dialogue and solve the problem)
