Dilated Peoples - Proper Propaganda lyrics
[Harry Allen] We're coming to you live from the Scottish Right Temple Near the intersection of Crenshaw and Wiltshire Where, as you can see in the background Military personnel are mobilized and waiting orders Despite the quiet and the deceptive calm, tension is still thick in the air after last night's concert and rebellion The incident was allegedly sparked by police officers trying to shut down a reportedly peaceful concert by hip hop artists Dilated People's We'll keep you updated with any new developments. For Triclops Media Watch, this is Harry Allen, hip hop activist and media assassin And now, Proper Propaganda.. [Begin Song] Watch it. Yes. [Indistinct shout-outs] [Verse 1] Hey yo we handle it, these brothers are fabulous Dilated showing you what rhyme travel is Words spitoon from sunlight to moon Bustin' on stage like gunfight saloons Click clack, my mic back, you like that? Journalists? We're journalists too, we could strike back Hardcore reporters with orders from headquarters Behind enemy lines, sidestepping the borders With press passes, we bring it to you as it happens The streets love my crew for music and rappin Street commander slash beat expander Here to fight the slander with the proper propaganda What's happenin'? You got a question? Then ask it The news is just a TV show, get past it And this, from a quiet wartime journalist Headlines, wake up, refuse and resist Resist, like this, like this, like Like thi-thi-thi-thi-thi-thi-thi-this, y'all [Chorus] We kick finance action, and scores of sports Politics, new fashion and war reports Entertainment, when we come to perform watch And the illest weatherman in the biz, I'm storm watch Triclops Media, record, tape and TV, Net radio, CD or DVD Iriscience (write rhymes on paper time) This is why Baboo is scratching and keeping time [Scratching] I make the people listen boogy down and move [Verse 2] Glory, The pen is mighter than the sword Cause the pen gives the word sending swords to war They twisted it when they quoted Mao Tse-tung They said political power comes from the barrel of a gun The officer meets his fate, by .44 .38 It was a dirty deed, but that don't mean a dirty case Witnesses against the state are shushed Facts overlooked so the judge can throw the book Perhaps for politicians with something to prove In the city where they blew the roof off and move Yo, questions when answered leads to more questions Why'd it take months to remember a confession? The principles are the same even without the name But I still say M-U-M-I-A I have to fight, it could easily be me But just being the thinker than speakin it freely Although I use my brain before using a fist Don't push it, wake up, refuse and resist [Scratching] [Chorus] |
