Anger In The Nation (LP Version) (LP版)

Anger in the Nation (LP版) - Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth

"You know nowadays it seems like there's a lot of

Bad things going on and I guess a lot of it

From the way I see it seems to still stem from

Lack of feelings on our parts it's

And how we relate or communicate with our

Fellow brothers and sisters"

"Let's get together "

"Let's get together "

"Let's get together and raise"

"Let's get together "

"Let's get together "

"Let's get together and raise"

South Africa what does it mean

To burst the scene or conquer like a philistene

War or peace which one do you prefer

Pass me my M-16 for the disaster

A reason for the treason in a jet black season

for peace justice and freedom

For the Original Man architect of the Motherland

Kings to Queens is the Asiatic Black plan

Pre-Adam-ite first to see the light

Way before Adam and Eve took flight

Bless the seed of Abraham I came to jam

Protest the teachings of another man

Uncle Tom stay loyal so they boil

I'm the alchemist with the twist from the true soil

My blood brother Adolpho on the side of me

My vision ain't blurry so don't even lie to me

The rebirth the revival of our culture survival

To elevate the black man is vital

You gotta realize now what we're facing

The floors I'm pacing from the anger in the nation

"Let's get together "

"Let's get together "

"Let's get together and raise"

"Let's get together "

"Let's get together "

"Let's get together and raise"

Here's the situation from a darker view

Night and day salt and pepper in the earthly stew

But the salt think it taste better straight up superior

Therefore the flavor of the pepper's inferior

Incorrect though giving some heartburn

Level of a devil better wait your turn

And here is one recollection of imperfection

No one should be judged by complexion

Lie-braries; broken down as lies buried

To force their beliefs to pilgrims all hurried

Television; tell-a-lie-vision

A schism; negative realism

Four-hundred-and-thirty-five years til weak

Mental deaf dumb and blindness put us to sleep

Out of the dark comes light so the first can't be

So Armaggedeon comes like a thief in the night

Rednecks flex to my context but in the projects

Some won't survive the next confrontation

And I'm aware of segregation

Pump your black fist for the anger in the nation

"Let's get together "

"Let's get together "

"Let's get together and raise"

"Let's get together "

"Let's get together "

"Let's get together and raise"

Some walk slow cause the water's not shallow

Let my people go you little Pharoah

Listen how they word it be observant

Then house negro; today civil servant

I want to drop the bomb but remain calm

Strong like the power of the Fruits of Islam

Black is beautiful hot like fire

Guess how many times they thought they killed the Messiah

Malcolm X Dr King let's sing

All around the world let freedom ring

Reality is real so how do you feel

From being kings on a throne to picking cotton in a field

Your slavery is lack of identity

One of the things that's not making you a friend of me

What's your cause - aim rationale

Cause I made up my mind I never scrape or bow

But teach my own the sound of black unity

Together we can rise and now's the opportunity

The Tuskegee Experiment indeed it was big

When they used the black man as a guinea pig

Animalism pumped on a lower level

But can only be the works of the devil

And I'm telling you now the frustration

The future's facing from the anger in the nation

"Let's get together "

"Let's get together "

"Let's get together and raise"

"Let's get together "

"Let's get together "

"Let's get together and raise"

"Let's get together "

"Let's get together "

"Let's get together "

"Let's get together "

"Let's get together "
