This Is Change

I have nothing to gain, no agenda to push
But president Obama is too much like Bush
The troops are still in Iraq and the torture remains
The renditions haven’t stopped, so many people detained
Kidnapped to black sites to be held indefinite
The Constitution is trashed with every court precedent
The rule of law is for the cattle, the slaves
So many activists shook, changing the way they behave
With Obama came change to many people’s distaste
Oppression and tyranny now has a black face
The New World Order’s agenda is on a roll
Now that imperialism has gotten some soul
Congress just passed a bill for compulsory service
They just brought back the draft are you nervous?
The Congressional Black Caucus has sold us out
Despite government covering bad loans, bankers stole your house
With many in foreclosure, others with nowhere to live
For corporate criminals, government has trillions to give
No matter who’s president, they’re all corporate whores
Preparing the population to fight in corporate wars
You’ll be another veteran they’ll call you a hero
When your tour is done, VA withholds the deniro
Obama’s nice words are so soothing and slick
One thing hasn’t changed is the political tricks.

You Are A Terrorist

If you're a preacher of truth, you are a terrorist
If you wake up our youth, you are a terrorist
If you make government nervous, you are a terrorist
If you do community service, you are a terrorist
Carry a constitution in your pocket, you are a terrorist
Pull the television plug from the socket, you are a terrorist
If you want injustice to fall, you are a terrorist
If you support Ron Paul, you are a terrorist
If you hate anything evil, you are a terrorist
If you're against torturing people, you are a terrorist
Having a "suspicious" look makes you a terrorist
If you're a common street crook, you are a terrorist
If you refuse to sell-out, you are a terrorist
If you condemned the bailouts, you are a terrorist
Talk about the evil of whites, you are a terrorist
If you're for human rights, you are a terrorist
From Bush to Obama, which dirtbag is bigger?
How many of you are willing to pull that trigger?

Militance Still Intact

In the Name of Allah, whitey’s still the devil
Where righteousness exists, whitey’s the number one rebel
Although I’m not perfect, for I have sinned
I won’t take Caucasians as a brother or friend
I don’t love whitey, I don’t trust whitey
I’d rather get a gat and go bust whitey
Despite having a president whose skin is black
Dealing with issues of race, the courage he lacks
The devilish police have stepped up their attacks
With Obama’s election comes the ignoring of facts
There’s this sudden chatter that America’s for all
You expect me to believe that racism has stalled
You expect me to believe whites consider us their equal
When they still look at us as subhuman people
After all their evil whitey expects us to forget
A thinking Black man, whitey views as a threat
The devil threatens our families all the time
But their wives and kids are as vulnerable as mine
In the Name of Allah this petition I pray
Keep all the believers safe by night and day.
