Chalk lines

 

 

 

 

 

activated 

active

activist

 

raised up militant

like Agela Davis

Huey and Boby's fist

 

no time for crazy talk

cripple like crazy walk

in a classroom stiffin on chalk dust

 

get in it's a sit in

sittin down for justice

who we don't trust

 

standing on faith alone

 

it's just us and their bout to smoke us

if  they could just get their hands on us

they would reach in and choke us

 

are you awake stay focused

don't slouch sit up in your chair

don't be scared straight

 

stay the course when you're out late

check for flats and don't forget

to get that taillight fixed

 

no cans no bottles no cups of liquor

 

(mah breatha)

 

they out to get you  (mah breatha) 

 

hunting  you down  (mah breatha) 

 

a reason to pull the trigger on another  ( breatha )

 

don't be the next X man (mah breatha)

 

no explanation to be explained

 

X marks the spot I just made it plain 

 

(mah Breatha)

 

 

stay strong  (mah breatha) 

 

in hell ?   excel (mah breatha)

 

stay strong  keep on breathen
