They can camouflage
Their big long gun
While aiming for our leader
But we don’t have one
So they can undo
The movement we’ve begun
What they’re witnessing
Is completely homespun

They’ve killed past leaders
Like Malcolm and King
But who they gonna target now
Has them questioning
******* an idea
Whose time has come
They certainly can’t do it
With a big long gun

Now some of you may be
Too young to know
About a government operation
Known as Cointelpro
That infiltrated organizations
From not that long ago
That sought to liberate us
For sho’ for sho’

So what happened to the revolution?
That they tried to dampen
Through the murders of our heroes
Like Chicago’s Fred Hamptom
As we’ve seen our blood
Continued to slatter
But our lives aren’t cheap
CUZ BLACK LIVES MATTER!
