lyrics

Verse (Chuck D)
Open this letter
To reveal these details
Style against profiling
Against a system that fails

Guns prevail
United State of Oppression Ails
Shit they voting on Savin them whales

These McConnell mfs…
And their faces of violence
Shots and drugs
Dropped on us
And they ass be silent

Like a move bomb
Cointelpro moves quiet
Peeped noise 40 years ago on
Long Island

We a target
Yes a target
Target
Yet we had to get
Knowledge of self us and we add it
Who what where how and why
Do or die don’t quit
Yeah, that’s right y’all
And never forget

Faith, Hope, Enlighten to teach
Engage the youth potential to reach
Elevating
Generations in unity
That’s what y’all
Get that target off of you and me

Bring it up Bate
Cmon bring it up

I bring the noise
You bring it on up

Bring it up Bate
Cmon bring it up

I bring the noise
You bring it on up

Bring it up Bate
Cmon bring it up

I bring the noise
You bring it on up

Bring it up Bate
Cmon bring it up

I bring the noise
You bring it on up

They hate to see us comin on the come up
Come On
