[Intro: Flavor Flav]
The Lion of Judah keeps twenty six lions
The emperor's pet lions are like enormous pet dogs
The way they lie around the palaces of Ethiopia

How can you be sittin' there
Tellin' me that you care?!
That you care?
When every time I look around
The people suffer in the sufferin'
In everyway, in everywhere
Aiyh, na-na-na-na-na

I tell you what:
Some people got everythin'
Some people got nothin'
Some people got hopes and dreams
Some people got ways and means
Na-na-na-na-na
Here we go ----------] Chuck D

[Bob Marley]
So I brethren, I sistren
The preachin' and talkin' is done
We've gotta live up, woh now, woh now!
Cause the father's time has come
Some people put the best outside
Some people keep the best inside
Some people can't stand up strong
Some people won't wait for long
Na-na-na-na-na

Here we go ----------] Chuck D

[Chuck D]
Strong with it, Strong up
Strong with it, Strong up
Strong with it, Strong up
Strong with it, Strong up
Global intelligence
Time to save the continents
Power goes to the people
Plus there's a conflict
Cause the people sold they people refused to be equal
The same old story no sequel
True that, we're all must live as one
But the conflict lied, unless we're all get some
Gold, Silver and Diomands that we're all minin'
Got to get mines, we got to get mines
