about

based on Amiri Baraka's magic words

lyrics

UP AGAINST THE WALL STREET MOTHERFUCKER, THIS IS A STICK-UP!

It ain't really stealin' if they stole it from you first
Are you supposed to watch them drown while you're dying of thirst?
You ain't really one of us, I guess that makes you one of them
The enemy of my enemy may not always be my friend
But I'll take what I can get 'cause they haven't killed me yet
And I ain't gonna be treated this way

All the stores will open up if you say the magic words
These kids would be hungry if it weren't for the Panthers
But there ain't gonna be no free breakfast for children today
Cause Hoover done shot Bunchy Carter down at UCLA
Cause he takes who he can get and he ain't thru yet
Until everyone has to live this way
