Pump Your Fist

Can you feel it Tension in the air Racism Violence everywhere Davis, Howard Beach Bumpers and Brawley It appalls me Now it's there Really racial justice It's time that we discussed this I'm disgusted I don't trust it What's this About New evidence brings doubt On who took King out Must have had clout Took the Kennedy route Witness Stories contradict and Confliction make Black men Say it had to end It won't happen again Pump your fist (3x) Can you hear me Hittin' home Knowledge Is the danger zone Liars and bigots And hypocrites start to panic They get frantic Power Generated by the truth Time to educate the youth The lust for money Is out of control Here's proof Drugs Always a tragic ending And at the risk of spending Time in jail Caught on a bum sale They persist Knowin' death's a risk Ignorance is bliss Chump their face Kill their race They deserved to get dissed Pump your fist (3x) We feel the wrath From what happened in the past Has made us walk a path Made by slavery Though bravery We lost Our unity our source Of power and we lost All race pride In our Holocaust Now it's my creed I'm from a stronger breed My ancestors indeed had to bleed Whipped 'till they were freed And now I look back and say wow How did we allow Physical slavery I just don't ever again See it now I vow Pump your fist (3x) But are we free In actuality Let's talk reality Can't you see The slave mentality It's a sickness That eats you up like cancer And money's not the answer Won't advance ya Don't take a chance ya Lame Selling drugs for fame That's the weak man's game It's a shame You got the chains on your brain You're givin' Drugs to kids and livin' Half your life in prison God's for givin' But you got to work with him Pump your fist (3x) Distortion confusion Equality illusion Justice collusion No racism delusion History erased it Lives wasted Victory tasted Drugs face it Knowledge wisdom Educational system Blurred vision Lies dis 'em Voice loud Black proud Truth vowed No sellouts allowed Pump your fist (3x) --- Pump Your Fist - Kool Moe Dee
