Neighborhood Watch lyrics

No questions

I pledge resistance to the grass

That hides the snakes of America

So they watch it, now I walk with caution

More careful put more thought to options

Is the opposite of progress Congress

From the school to the street we're beyond stress

But I fight for peace, that's what the problem is

War is big biz, ask an economist

Speak in volumes callin' anti-war and anti-American synonymous

Back in the day I would've gotten black listed just for speakin' up

Hoover probably would've screamed Communist

I want black and brown unity

But cats get out to bring the jail to the community

Fightin's nothin' new to me

I even corrected what the public school system tried to do to me

Here's a spark encoded in rhyme and love for everyone of the devoted in line

We call it art, some call it a crime

It's the rap Michael Moore, like Bowling for Columbine

On drums, Fahrenheit, 9-1-1

Al Queda hit the Apple and the world was stunned

The villain trained by the hero for the killing

Now you twist $20 bills to see buildings

Under heavy surveillance

They might call you a traitor if you want something greater

Don't get me wrong, America's a great place to live

Just listen to the knowledge I give

If more than half the budget goes to military spending

Less than half goes to whatever it's defending

One nation, many gods, individuals with liberties

And justice for all who are miserable

Voice in Spanish escuscha la verdad en la musica

Yeah Babu, Dilated Peoples

Neighborhood Watch, worldwide

Expansion, Iriscience

Evidence, Babu
