State Of Emergency-Toki Wright

State Of Emergency - Toki Wright (Hey. What goes up, must come down)* ([George Bush:] I can assure you ladies and gentlemen, the cause of freedom is in good hands.) Who set the standards of what is right, what is wrong? What is night? What is morn? Missed the calm before the storm Back in Vietnam when he lost his arm Held on to his charm Praying for the day he'd move into the dawn The truth is he can't handle it He can't dismantle it System that'll trick him Systematically becomes a victim So he flick 'em Ha ha ha stick 'em Stick 'em up stickin' to them guns Start runnin' them funds His disability was twofold Now he's too old Caught out in the cold Tryna pawn the sh*t he stole Scolded by the same law that he fought for Stuck inside a city's wall Where anything can pop off Be all that you can be Get a degree But never said you'd be an amputee Land of the free Home of the blame game World economic mainframe Unified force, gang bang, same thing Chain hang, low to the floor Shinnin' in the light On the prison bus labeled Who's ready to bite? The end justice is just us Dumbstruck [?] won a second term Dumbf**k, dumb luck Cheaters never win unless you're president You appoint a cabinet that exists Long after establishment So we play the race card in the face off Hardly pass the state bar More intrigued by souping up the race cause State troopers chase call Back up if you backed up Been fallin' way behind let's pull the slack up Went and bought a sack chapped to crack up Put it on the block We put ourselves upon the auction block You wanna buy? You wanna watch? Lookin' at the clock, times up My rhymes up If you got somethin' to say why front 'cause [Chorus: x4] We are in a state of emergency Classic clash of the masters with masters From questionable tactics And questions with little answers Across this canvas I'm draggin' this dagger to cut frames Like bogus breakin' news on Fox's cameras I'm standing for basic living standards I still get harassed at my shows Though I got my land in We planned this Rollin' by in paddy wagons The black night is shinnin' o'er But came to slay the devil's dragons We locked in dungeons Where smells are pungent With the odors and orders From borders misfortunate predicament So I'm using every single instrument As I'm a also let you know This sh*t's ridiculous In Minnesota, we less than 10% the population But guess how many of us locked in cages I'm waitin' over 70%, let me vent Taxed and dollars spent, got me bent American's I'll be your pimp in present tense And look, we can go and fight these wars in other countries But what happens when the terror is amongst me? Officer don't touch me I know my rights Respect me, I'll respect you But you shoot me and what the papers say? What I didn't do is pitiful It's a classic case of class and race And I came to agitate the magistrate and the candidates Just tryna get in office The thing you need to do is get 'em off us 'Cause everybody bleeds and sees a coffin It just seems morbid Now that Bush controls the forces But even when Bush wasn't They would still push on the button And even when Bush isn't They will still be in your business Held under the water by the throat A tide of crimson Increase the troops upon the battlefield Who made decisions? The Da Vinci code Cold world war Sinners new religion [Chorus: x4] We are in a state of emergency (That's the kind of situation we're facing. Inboxes with out patients. World without medication [?] Until we vacate the nation.) State of emergency, state of emergency. (Saddest day is made okay, with the em hmm hmm and the em hmm hmm.)
