I know you thought I wouldn't say somethin'
About the way the radio and tv, don't really say nothin'
Unless black men stay thuggin'
Unless black women straight sluttin, I know you thought I wouldn't
Talk about rich white men still
Doin' to black artists today, what they did to the ones back then
Can't you see brother, they don't love you
They just want money off of what you do
I know you thought I wouldn't speak on some with hot tracks
Runnin' 'round tryin to tell me hip hop is not black
For real, it ain't black now, I guess it ain't
Long as y'all wanna thug in the 'burbs, slummin' dressed down
I'ma talk about the documented fact
America funds Israel more than all of Africa
What the hell would I be rappin' for?
If hard truth ain't attackin' ya, blappin' ya
CHORUS
It's the same thing every day, we keep movin'
It's the same games people play, we see through 'em
Long as I am alive, the grind won't stop
We gonna fight 'til we die, the rhymes won't stop
Try to maintain through the pain, we keep movin'
'Til the chains break from the brain, we break through 'em
Long as justice denied, the grind won't stop
Bringin' sight to the blind, the rhymes won't stop, now come on
Microphone check 1-2, check the sound
Bass for ya face, bring the level around
See us break over breaks take the racists and blaze
We, back on the stage, it's the prophets of rage
Not Dre but I'm still watchin over the game
What the hell has happened to us, seem as nothing has changed
Just coons on the tube, jiggaboos and pimps
act a motherfuckin' fool while labels makin' a mint
I spit a verse, maybe curse, every city and town
What's the worst that could happen, brothers workin it out
I been around growlin' freedom or death since day one
Miuzi weighs a ton, don't forget it's the bomb
I run up, we Public Enemy, they ain't said shit
Put the message in the music so you never forget
Time to take this thang back put the hit in the hits
If you ain't mad then you ain't even tripped, pay attention, it's the Enemy
CHORUS
It's the same thing every day, we keep movin'
It's the same games people play, we see through 'em
Long as I am alive, the grind won't stop
We gonna fight 'til we die, the rhymes won't stop
Try to maintain through the pain, we keep movin'
'Til the chains break from the brain, we break through 'em
Long as justice denied, the grind won't stop
Bringin' sight to the blind, the rhymes won't stop, now come on
9/11 is no longer a conspiracy
It's being used to reduce civil liberties
Speak critically, they can legally ignore you
And let the verachip think for you
Screamin' out no child left behind
But all we end up, learnin' is how to work for the wealthy kind
'Cause wealth defines the health we buy, from Blue Cross and
Leaders of the banks from the checks we write
Foolin' with my food, chickens as big as the turkeys
GMOs make produce bloom a month early
Cross-pollenatin' rice grains with hormones
Highly afraid of ice age, tryin' to fight plagues
But the real issue, is when you speak the hard truth
Then they will get you, bringin' light to our youth
Then they will kill you, if you Armstrong Williams
They big scrill you, and force the fickle to feel you, for real
CHORUS
It's the same thing every day, we keep movin'
It's the same games people play, we see through 'em
Long as I am alive, the grind won't stop
We gonna fight 'til we die, the rhymes won't stop
Try to maintain through the pain, we keep movin'
'Til the chains break from the brain, we break through 'em
Long as justice denied, the grind won't stop
Bringin' sight to the blind, the rhymes won't stop, now come on
