A mass of hands press on the market window
Ghosts of progress
Dressed in slow death
Feeding on hunger
And glaring through the promise

It's a beautiful world we live in
A sweet romantic place
Beautiful people everywhere

And suckas be thinkin' that they can fake this
But I'm gonna drop it at a higher level
- Born as Ghosts
The hills find peace
Locked armed guard posts
Safe from the screams
Of the children born as ghosts
Gates guns and alarms
Shape the calm of the dawn
Peering down into the basin
Where death lives on
- Born Of A Broken Man
My fears hunt me down
Capturing my memories
The frontier of loss
They try to escape across the street where
Jesus stripped bare
And raped the spirit he was supposed to nurture
In the name of my

- Bullet In The Head
This time the bullet cold rocked ya
A yellow ribbon instead of a swastika

- Darkness
Greed, causing innocent blood to flow
Entire culture lost in the overthrow
They came to seize and take whatever they please
Then all they gave back was death and disease
My people were left with no choice but to decide
To conform to a system responsible for genocide
AIDS is killing the entire African nation

- Guerilla Radio
Transmission third world war third round
A decade of the weapon of sound above ground
No shelter if youre looking for shade

As the polls close like a casket
On truth devoured
Silent play in the shadow of power
A spectacle monopolized

Fold my hands and pray for rain,

That are driving me insane.
- Maria
Tha sun ablaze as Maria's foot
Touches tha surface of sand
On northern land
As human contraband
Some rico from Jalisco
Passed her name to tha boss
She stuffed ten to a truckbed
She clutches her cross

- Microphone Fiend
Yo, I was a fiend before I became a teen
I melted microphone instead of cones of ice cream
Music orientated so when hip - hop was originated
Fitted like pieces of puzzles, complicated
Shot grabbed the mic and try to say, Yes y'all!
They tried to take it, and say that I'm too small
Cool, 'Cause I don't get upset
I kick a hole in the speaker, pull the plug, then I jet

Hungry people don't stay hungry for long
They get hope from fire and smoke as they reach for tha dawn

Through factory chains
- No Shelter
The main attraction, distraction
Got ya number than number than numb
Empty ya pockets son, they got you thinkin' that
What ya need is what they selling
Make you think that buying is rebelling
From the theaters to malls on every shore
Tha thin line between entertainment and war
The frontline is everywhere, there be No Shelter here!
- People of the Sun
Yeah people come up
Yeah, we better turn tha bass up on this one
Check it,
Since 1516 minds attacked and overseen
Now crawl amidst the ruins of this empty dream
Wit their borders and boots on top of us
Pullin' knobs on the floor of their toxic metropolis

- Revolver
His spit is worth more than her work
Pass the purse to the pugilists
He's a prizefighter
And he bought rings and he owns kin
And now he's swingin'
And now he's the champion
Hey revolver, don't mothers make good fathers?
Revolver!
- Roll Right
Lick off the shot my stories shock ya like Ellison
Main line adrenaline Gaza to Tienanmen
From the basement I'm dwellin' in
I cock back tha sling to stone a settler
And breaks him off clean, call me the upsetter
Here comes the hands on the leashes
The cross, the capital, the pale families, the fear and the mouthpieces
- Settle For Nothing
A jail cell is freedom from the pain in my home
Hatred passed on, passed on and passed on
A world of violent rage
But it's one that I can recognise
Having never seen the colour of my father's eyes
Yes, I dwell in hell, but it's a hell that I can grip
I tried to grip my family
But I slipped

The world is my expense
The cost of my desire
Jesus blessed me with its future
And I protect it with fire
So raise your fists

Ill jail and bury those committed
- Snakecharmer
Satellites and, pair of mirrors and, and a man without a home
With a horse, and a rider, and a clever, cunning killer
Silent in error and vocal in spotlights
Lying always sucking on a bottle of, that sweet, indulgent fluid

Oh greed oh yes
Yeah!
Yeah!
- Street Fighting Man
Everywhere I hear the sound of marching, charging feet, boy!
'Cause Summer's here and the time is right for fighting in the streets, boy.
But what can a poor boy do
Except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band
'Cause in sleepy London town
There's just no place for a street fighting man
No!
- Take The Power Back
Bring that shit in! Uggh!
Yeah, the movement's in motion with mass militant poetry
Now check this out...uggh!
In the right light, study becomes insight
But the system that dissed us
Teaches us to read and write
- Testify
The movie ran through me
The glamour subdued me
The tabloid untied me
I'm empty please fill me
Mister anchor assure me
That Baghdad is burning
Your voice it is so soothing
That cunning mantra of killing
- The Ghost Of Tom Joad
Man walks along the railroad track
Hes goin some place, theres no turnin back
The highway patrol chopper comin up over the ridge
Man sleeps by a campfire under the bridge
The shelter line stretchin around the corner
Welcome to the new world order
Families sleepin in their cars out in the southwest
No job, no hope, no peace, no rest, no rest!

Tha vocal tone has got 'em sweatin' their own apocalypse

- Year of tha Boomerang
Tha sistas are in so check the front line
Seems I spent the '80s in the Haiti state of mind
Cast me into classes for electro shock
Straight incarcerated, the curriculum's a cell block
I'm swimmin' in half truths and it makes me wanna spit
Instructor come separate the healthy from tha sick
Ya weigh me on a scale, smellin' burnt skin
It's dark now in Dachau and I'm screamin' from within
