No Justice No Peace!
Lyrics
If you’re not internationally, universally and culturally educated enough to participate on the world stage with a diversified population Then you shouldn’t be put in a so-called foreign situation Our people have had enough stagnation and evolutionary retardation because of your false white supremacist God complex You’re dealing in scarcity, when God has given us a planet filled with prosperity and abundance. There’s enough to go around, so why do you have to discriminate and gun us down, and from most of your people, we don’t hear a sound Well, this is how it’s going down, we’re going to participate more in the political system, we’re going to realize the power of our community’s economics, we’re going to defend ourselves and most of all we’re going to love and respect each other again Yes, we’re gonna “Rise up and shine” You don’t like us in this nation, you want us back to Africa, give us reparations Brothers and Sisters, we now gotta be tight like Siamese’ Protect and elevate the Black Woman and to my gangsters, it’s time for peace We built this land, picking cotton with our hands, you raped our woman and man and separated our fam-ilies—please Understand, somethings wrong with your psyche, fear of us rising and running this society We’re not the ones for you to point the fingers at? We fought in every war to keep your enemies back We’re not the ones outsourcing your careers So we’re gonna get stronger “We ain’t going no where” we’re gonna “rise up and shine’
