Verse 1:
|
You can't fool all the people all of the time
|
But if you fool the right ones, then the rest will fall behind
|
Tell me who's got control of your mind? your world view?
|
Is it the news or the movie you're taking your girl to? (uh)
|
Know what i'm sayin cause Uncle Sam got a plan
|
If you examine what they tellin us then you will understand
|
What they plantin in the seeds of the next generation
|
Feeding our children miseducation
|
No one knows if there's UFO's or any life on mars
|
Or what they do when they up in the stars
|
Because i don't believe a word of what the president said
|
He filling our head with lies got us hypnotised
|
When he be speaking in cold words about crime and poverty
|
Drugs, welfare, prisons, guns and robbery
|
It really means us, there's no excuse for the slander
|
But what's good for the goose, is still good for the gander
|
See...

|
I say we all rush the pentagon, pull out guns
|
And grab the intercom, my first word's will be I believe
|
Man made God, outta ignorance and fear
|
If God made man, then why the hell would he put us here?
|
I thought he's supposed to be the all loving
|
The same God who let Hitler put the Jews in the oven
|
We don't fall for the regular shit, they try to feed us
|
All this half-ass leadership, flippin position
|
They turn politcian and shut the hell up and follow tradition
|
For your TV screen, is telling lies to your vision
|
Every channel got some brainwashed cop shit to watch

Running up in niggas cribs claiming that they heard shots

It's a plot, but busta can you tell me who's greedier?
|
Big corporations, the pigs or the media?
|
Sign of the times, terrorism on the rise
|
Commercial airplanes, falling out the sky like flies
|
Make me wonder what secrets went down with Bob Brown (?)
|
Who burnt churches to the ground with no evidence found?
|
It's not coincidence, it's been too many studied incidents
|
It coulda been the Klan who put that bomb at the Olympics
|
But it probably was the FBI, deep at the call
|
Cuz if they make us all panic then they can start martial law
|
