Do Not Read This
Tuesday, April 20, 2004

This is a test of the "FFN Screwed Up My Blog."

Rather than repeat the same once twice, I have replaced the evil, goatee-wearing copy with the following:

In the right light, study becomes insight
But the system that dissed us,
Teaches us to read and write.

So-called facts are fraud
They want us to allege and pledge
And bow down to their God
Lost the culture, the culture lost
Spun our minds and through time
Ignorance has taken over
We gotta take the power back
BAM, here's the plan
Motherf*** Uncle Sam
Step back, I know who I am
Raise up your ear, I'll drop the style and clear
It's the beats and lyrics they fear
The rage is relentless
We need a movement with a quickness
You are the witness of change
And to counteract
We gotta take the power back

We gotta take the power back
We gotta take the power back

The present curriculums
I put my fist in 'em
Eurocentric, every last one of 'em
See right through the red, white and blue disguise
With lecture, I puncture the structure of lies
Installed in our minds and attempting
To hold us back
We got to take it back
'Cause holes in our spirit are causin' tears and fears
One-sided stories for years and years and years
I'm inferior? Who's inferior?
Yea, we need to check the interior
Of the system who cares about only one culture
And that is why
We gotta take the power back

We gotta take the power back
We gotta take the power back

The teacher stands in front of the class
But the lesson plan he can't recall
Students eyes don't perceive the lies
Bouncing off every f****** wall.
His composure is well kept
I guess he fears playing the fool
The complacent students sit and listen to the
Bull**** he learned in school.

Europe ain't my rope to swing on
Can't learn a thing from it
Yet we hang from it
Gotta get it, gotta get it together then
Like the mother******' weathermen.
To expose and close the doors on those who try
To strangle and mangle the truth
'Cause the circle of hatred continues unless we react
We gotta take the power back

We gotta take the power back
We gotta take the power back

No more lies.
