8. Wretched of The Earth
WRETCHED OF THE EARTH
Wretched of The Earth by Professor A.L.I. introducing J-Cya
VERSE 1:
Age of Empires over, its a clash of nations
Corporations, are the new nations
Demonic Satans, they never satiated
Like old school collectors, shaking heads
You upside down, they snatch your loot
You cant pay they tax, so you gets the boot
Be on the corner, with a sign and can
Homeless in your land, you aint part of they’re plan
They blame religion, but the new Crusade
Is how these companies stole Christmas away
Commercialized our holidays, the way we pray
Prayer rug made in China, beads in Cathay
You even discuss they’re ‘politrix’ in they’re cafés
You say “F it”, but ‘Starbux’ still gets paid
Got you twisted, focused on Axis of Evil
Your runnin’ ’round the world, they sellin’ the oil
VERSE 2:
True Hip-Hop is not pop, but most rap is
Hip-Hop dies in hands of privileged kids
Feel what I say, this here grassroots movement
Word of mouth only how my units moving
Still keep em grooving against oppression
Surprised? I make sales in this recession
Feel they’re tension, they hate independents
Like five pillar cats from fifth dimension
Comprehend this, support local business
One love, one mic, so you bear witness
Moms and pops dead, they’re monopoly
It takes more than Walmart to topple me
Hegemenous, but I’m venomous
Spread my message to global tenements
West side to West Bank, they understand
From American ghettoes to Bantustans
VERSE 3:
The illest corporation on the global scene
With global schemes, and mobile regimes
Noble dreams, means they still get C.R.E.A.M.
All earth, problems, blame, Google these
A million plus hits, tells you its B.P.
Evidently, the evidence: green
Irrelevant deen, its all dunya-istic
Numbers don’t add up arithmetic sick
You trusted them, you’re a lunatic kid
National elections won by mavericks its–
So sick, iller than gulf wide oil slicks
Countries castrated, taxpayers suck d—
Seven hundred times, broke Osha laws
Plus they ask Ike, to set up a Shah,
Whats next, gang rapes on Santa Claus?
Think you have control, forgot whose in charge
HOOK:
Filthy Corporations,
Get your hands out my jar
Demonic Satans,
Babylon ‘bout to fall
If you believe in things
you can’t understand
You will suffer
This is God’s land!
