RUN & TELL YO MAMMA...(WE VOTIN’ FOR OBAMA) CHORUS (2X): RUN AND TELL YO MAMMA WE VOTIN’ FOR OBAMA WE TRYING TO END THE DRAMA SO WE VOTIN’ FOR OBAMA See, it started in Springfield And from that point it was all up hill All the cynics and pundits thought it was a fad And HILLARY had this election in the bag So, we started at the bottom, grassroots And on the internet, with the youth And on college campuses, with the students And all of a sudden, it became a movement BARACK was just so authentic And the world reckognized, it wasn’t a gimmic Though many people were looking at him strange When he started talking about bringing change And people started coming out to vote And reading his book “THE AUDACITY OF HOPE” Just one of two that he has wrote And “DREAMS OF MY FATHER” was also dope And for them he’s won two grammy awards But people dug the fact he was against the war When it was something HILLARY voted for And it was a fact that couldn’t be ignored It was judgement, at the right moment But back then, he didn’t know it He just followed his heart, not what they were selling And now in every city, everybody’s yelling... CHORUS (2X): RUN AND TELL YO MAMMA WE VOTIN’ FOR OBAMA WE TRYING TO END THE DRAMA SO WE VOTIN’ FOR OBAMA So, the first victory was in IOWA No denying ya’ll, cause I was a Virgin voter, it was my first time Doing anything along political lines Fine, it was new, but it turned out great Cause he won one of the whitest states And by the time, he got to his first debate Even the pundits, just couldn’t wait To see, he, with positivity Be, calm and cool, while MS. HILLARY Attacked and hacked sarcastically With negativity, while gymnastically He flipped over all of her blows And said he’d love to talk to our foes But why she got bitter, nobody knows Jealousy and hatred, I suppose But he kept his composure, got exposure And came out on top when it was over While she tried every dirty trick in the book Lying & cheating, but still got shook And her contributions started slowing And the OBAMA campaign kept on growing While not taking PAC money, he wasn’t hoeing But, all across the country, people were going... CHORUS (2X): RUN AND TELL YO MAMMA WE VOTIN’ FOR OBAMA WE TRYING TO END THE DRAMA SO WE VOTIN’ FOR OBAMA Now this is for those who were sincere And without fear, decided we would volunteer Yo, the campaign was really bananas !!! As we were trying to phone canvas And taking lists and going door to door Asking people who they were voting for And sometimes, we’d get ignored But it was the bomb, how many votes we scored Saying AMERICA is our residence And it’s time for a brand new president And it’s all about love not about hate So, vote for OBAMA and we’ll be straight And some would hesitate, but they knew the truth And couldn’t resist when they saw the youth And then saw the old, who were very bold And also saw the mama’s out there for OBAMA And we even had REPUBLICANS Switching parties and lovin’ him While setting up tables and chairs at rallies Getting people’s info and keeping tallies And registering people to vote And having study groups on “THE AUDACITY OF HOPE” E-mail blasting, we’re everlasting And posing questions, that needed askin’ Working and working, Tirelessly To get BARACK to the presidency And most volunteers were working for free So we came up with things artistically To make sure that we were able to eat And survive financially Using all of our abilities To crearte OBAMA SWAG with agility While increasing the visibility Yet doing it with humility Cause most of us weren’t making nothin’ But gave up our lives, to do a lil’ something But still had bills, yo I ain’t bluffin So we started making T-shirts and buttons Bags and bracelets, cause yo face it The campaign gear needed a facelift And product placement, so in our basements We made stuff, better than what they sent Dang, we weren’t capitalists Just creative supporters, who were activists Making people hyped up and making things happen While singing, chanting and freestyle rappin’ And keeping it live, while volunteering And constantly hearing, the supporters cheering... CHORUS (2X): RUN AND TELL YO MAMMA WE VOTIN’ FOR OBAMA WE TRYING TO END THE DRAMA SO WE VOTIN’ FOR OBAMA

KATRINA vs. Willie Lynch (SPOKEN WORD VERS.) Now what I’m about to say may be controversial But hell, I’m TONY B. CONSCIOUS and the truth ain’t never been commercial I’ve though about it, raked my mind and I’m thorroughly convinced It took a sistah like KATRINA to bring down WILLIE LYNCH... COMING IN LIKE A WHIRLWIND, ancestors once made a vow Following the slave routes, I see GARVEY smiling right now NEGROES, NIGGAHS, HANKERCHIEFS and even SELLOUTS United finally when the bottom of the country fell out Can you imagine CHUCK D and PAUL MOONEY on t.v. with CONGALEEZ LIL JOHN, MARY J, STEVE HARVEY, MONIQUE AND QUEEN LATIF Some so disconnected to what our ancestors lost Now can feel and experience exactly what it cost She came and swatted shit out the air, like the racket of SERENA So some of us can truly feel and empathize with sistah KATRINA And I know you may not overstand, but I’m truly convinced It took a sistah like KATRINA, to bring down WILLIE LYNCH... No more coonin’, competing, ballin’ nor bling, blingin’ I seen hardcore rappers, gospel preachers, lawyers and teachers, crying and singing U-N-I-T-Y right before our eyes It took a castrophe to make the deaf, dumb and blind realize We’ve been in trouble, but I must confess The Universal Laws of Karma put our hearts to the test Hopefully this will light up the Uncle Toms Can You imagine 1.5 million given back by VIACOM B.E.T., WALT DISNEY, and TOMMY HILFIGURE Corporate, Middle Class, and bourgie house niggahs All cohesive and solid, like dried cement Finally reckognizing what we meant to this government And president, what ? you thought we was residents ? Trusting in them ? Nah cat , we should’ve been hesitant !!! But “like a whirlwind, I’ll be back...” Garvey said “And all Africans will unite...” But he sent KATRINA instead Sleeping in thier own feces, no water, nor food No medical attention, no clothing nor shoes That’s roots again, But most don’t even see it So those who fail to learn from the past, are destined to repeat it American History never told of our misery The reconstruction and its true function They lynchings, the rapes, being thrown in the back of chevys YO !!! I heard in New Orleans, the police blew up the levys Genocide,,, for black pride will you kill for the cause ? Shoot at helicopters ? Like a real Hiphoppa ? S.O.S, save ourselves, cause divide and conquer’s a past tense And it took a sistah like Katrina, to kill WILLIE LYNCH... UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDE WE FALL So pick up the phone, when your people call The African Holocaust revisited, but the words don’t describe The pain, the misery and anguish, of all the people who’ve died The shootings, the lootings, the killing and the stealing The drownings and the frowning at the media clownin’ FEMA, the National Guard, praying to guard Experiencing living hard, souls bruised and scarred The Veil has been lifted, paradigm has been shifted Even those artistically gifted, know who they need to get with But it takes a cotastrophe, for us to see That we about 400 years late on Black Unity But we got it for right now, and ain’t nobody riding the fence Cause it took a sistah like KATRINA to take out WILLIE LYNCH... (SO LET’S SEE HOW LONG IT LASTS...)
4.
KATRINA vs. WILLIE LYNCH Now I know to alot of ya’ll this may not make sense But it took a sistah like KATRINA to kill WILLIE LYNCH Though most people were like”YO! that’s in the past tense And the corporate house niggahs couldn’t be convinced And the Black politicians were just riding the fence While the lawyers and the Judges needed evidence I swear by the ancestors she was heaven sent Cause our people been acting different like every since Worse than IRAQ, man who dropped the bomb ? This is the Gulf Coast, but it looks like Vietnam Waking the whole world with a storm, but no calm And I even seen tears on the cheeks of the “Uncle Toms” Mississippi, Houston and Louisiana A little west of Atlanta, Just past Alabama Predominantly Black folks, Grandads and Grandmas It aint even Christmas , buts we playin Santa Cause the Superdome became a Slave ship or Goree Island While Congress and FEMA were steadily denyin’ And the whit media just kept lyin and lyin’ While black people were just drowning and dying So the Mayor Ray became Frederick Douglas And Kanye, had to say, “George Bush, he don’t love us...” But I know that God looms somewhere up above us So the people of the South they just had to trust us And it happened like Bruce Lee, unity kicked in And we sent clothes, U Haul trucks and dividends Cause we got offended when we watched CNN AND SAW THE GOVERNMENT NEGLECTING US DUE TO OUR SKIN And man, even Congaleeza couldn’t pretend She didn’t feel our plight was real, deep within Cause Garvey said he’d be back in a whirlwind And he’d unite all the boys, girls, women and men So now the whole world is watching us in suspense While the situation down south is getting intense And it took a catastrophe for some to get the hint We need to unify, despite WILLIE LYNCH... Now I know to alot of ya’ll this may not make sense But it took a sistah like KATRINA to kill WILLIE LYNCH Though most people were like”YO! that’s in the past tense And the corporate house niggahs couldn’t be convinced And the Black politicians were just riding the fence While the lawyers and the Judges needed evidence I swear by the ancestors she was heaven sent Cause our people been acting different like every since FARRAKHAN, MARCUS, and MALCOLM tried to tell em We treated the worst and almost cursed in the anti bellum South, where they used to buy em and sell em’ And should’ve known in a crisis this government would fail em’ So for once, all the athletes and entertainers Saw that helping our own was truly a no brainer From Oprah to MJ and what’s even stranger They’re all away with no cribs no beds and no mangers Conditions desolate, sleeping in their feces Bacteria growing, and showing it ain’t easy And anybody who wasn’t tossed by our holocaust Got to see first hand just what we’ve lost We’ve paid the cost, and folks see the situation The most despised, yet recognized race in this nation The whites were victims, Blacks were thieves Whites were in need and we were refugees Whites were surviving, blacks were lootin’ Whites they were saving, blacks they were shootin’ Blatant discrepancies on your T.V. So we had to all kick in on B.E.T. We had to scream genocide, cause can’t you see Their true feelings are being shown globally And the dirty south truly needed a good rinse Cause confederates and rednecks still have no sense The loved us dead, before the civil war and every since While JIM CROW, still shows so we had to invent More unity, despite all that we’ve been through Cause New Orleans is the birthplace and home of the blues Mardi Gras, Gumbo, Benieghs and JUJU Spiritual power that’ll see us through, like Eve’s Bayou So for all ya’ll asleep, let this be a pinch And WAKE UP!!! DESPITE WILLIE LYNCH... Now I know to alot of ya’ll this may not make sense But it took a sistah like KATRINA to kill WILLIE LYNCH Though most people were like”YO! that’s in the past tense And the corporate house niggahs couldn’t be convinced And the Black politicians were just riding the fence While the lawyers and the Judges needed evidence I swear by the ancestors she was heaven sent Cause our people been acting different like every since I had to drop this on a track, cause yes, I’m a griot For all my brothas and sistahs blacks and creos I guess I’ve got to be the one like JET LEI or Neo Making you see yo, it ain’t about me though Divided we’ve fell, together we must stand Cause White folks is trying to intimidate Blacks off their land Blew up the levies and didn’t even tell us And the politics are heavy, so FEMA straight failed us Like Noah’s flood, man we swimming in blood Ain’t even got no huts, man we livin’ in mud So all the Hiphoppas, artistic sharecroppers Need to do like “Biker boys and jump on some choppers Fuck the bling, bling, spinners are underwater Escalades are gone and that Ice you just bought her We sending knock off purses, shoes, pants and cash S.O.S, save ourselves, we gots to do that fast Everyday our folks down south are being neglected But what about the outskirt parishes affected No cameras, no help, they don’t give a what Little boys and girls hungry and everybody’s stuck Juneteenth “ nah we ain’t emancipated Just under educated, but some think we made it Pull together, help your own and if your smart Volunteer, there or here, and earn that purple heart The French Quarter seems more like a Canadian dime They only thinking about theirs, not yours and mine All the wards are gone, now ain’t that a sign It was prophecy fulfilled on August 29th Bring body oils, black soap and Shea butter Cause all they belongings and lives is in the gutter And like GARVEY said, “let the healing commence” Unity and strength in numbers, despite WILLIE LYNCH... Now I know to alot of ya’ll this may not make sense But it took a sistah like KATRINA to kill WILLIE LYNCH Though most people were like”YO! that’s in the past tense And the corporate house niggahs couldn’t be convinced And the Black politicians were just riding the fence While the lawyers and the Judges needed evidence I swear by the ancestors she was heaven sent Cause our people been acting different like every since

The police Department goes along with the plot A pastor brought him back, he was never caught There was only ONE Troy, so he was on the News But the pastor Never gets interviewed The Main suspec Sylvester Cole Lied and instantly stole TROY’s SOUL SO THE POLICE PRESSURE WITNESSES MAKING THEM LIE Cause when Cops get killed, Black People Die Even though most of the Witnesses were hesitant They Prosecuted TROY with no physical Evidence... I am Troy Davis... You Are Troy Davis...We Are Troy Davis Being Black in America is oh so real The Supreme Court denied his final appeal Like Shaka Sankofa, yo beofre it’s over We’ve got to show ya, That justice don’t know a Slavery Decendant who was intended To Build the Country and Never be commended So you do the math, look at the blood bath Blind is the system where judges just Laugh This is the 4th death warrant signed and it’s true It was condemned by the POPE and DESMOND TUTU Jimmy Carter and All Over the world I AM TROY DAVIS is what boys and girls Stand, Scream, Cry and Even Curse We want freedom and Justice, cause this ain’t the first And won’t be the last, So I spit this verse And say we’ve only got till September 21st (To Save Troy Davis...so let’s free troy Davis) I am Troy Davis...

Sacred Spirits It’s our Babies that have the Sacred Spirits And we should hear it, everytime we’re near them We have a Job to do, s don’t you Fear it The path for them, we’re supposed to clear it Each child has a Sacred Spirit Their souls are singing, So I hope you hear them Our job is not to Fear them, But to make sure nothing Bad gets near them Our Babies have sacred spirits, Our children have Sacred Spirits Our Babies have sacred spirits, Our children have Sacred Spirits Yo..Our elders and ancestors used to say It was the babies we should worship EVERYDAY It’s the children who were blessed, because they came back first And Anyone who touched the children would be eternally cursed Yo, the babies are the ancestors and closest to GOD And OUR JOB was to keep their lives from being hard And ONLY for our children, should we go to war For, without them, we wouldn’t exist Anymore But, Yo in this day and time, something has changed And I’m looking at the world like everything’s Strange I see our children getting abused, when they don’t behave Molested and worked like a bunch of slaves Tortured and killed almost everywhere Used as weapons, by parents who really don’t care The children are the future and the sincerest Little gifts from THE UNIVERSE with sacred spirits It’s our Babies that have the Sacred Spirits And we should hear it, everytime we’re near them We have a Job to do, s don’t you Fear it The path for them, we’re supposed to clear it Each child has a Sacred Spirit Their souls are singing, So I hope you hear them Our job is not to Fear them, But to make sure nothing Bad gets near them LOVE IS BORN, EVERYTHING ELSE IS TAUGHT So why are the children getting bombed and shot Is this how we teach em, by showing them hate? Do we truly Educate or just indoctrinate? A Clear glass of water is what the Universe sees With Unlimited potential and infinite possibilities Waiting to learn how to relate to others Their eyes and their hearts don’t see races nor colors But, we’re teaching them How to kill instead of heal And we’re showing them how to act fake and not real They watch us disrespect Nature and Humanity And learn our Addictions, prejudices and insanities Damn, they could co create a worlld that really works If they weren’t getting tainted, miseducated and hurt It’s like we’re driving the Yellow Bus, but don’t know how to steer it Cause we’re the one’s guiding and directing thier little spirits It’s our Babies that have the Sacred Spirits And we should hear it, everytime we’re near them We have a Job to do, s don’t you Fear it The path for them, we’re supposed to clear it Each child has a Sacred Spirit Their souls are singing, So I hope you hear them Our job is not to Fear them, But to make sure nothing Bad gets near them Is it The violence On T.V., the Movies and Games ? The Wars and Greed, the bombs and planes ? The Lack of Love we show others everyday ? How we see The unfortunate and look the other way ? The Drug Dependiencies, The Hypocrisy? The Government Policies, Lack of Democracy ? The fighting and bickering and telling each other lies While our children see it, all through Virgin eyes This is what makes our children grow up in a rush And turn into mirror images of us They Reflect our consciousness, or lack there of They BECOME all of our hate, or MAGNIFY our Love We are here to DIRECT them, RESPECT them, or PROTECT them Not to NEGLECT them, SEX them or INFECT them The World is a Song and they are the lyrics For, the only Hope we have for WORLD PEACE can fbe found in their spirits... It’s our Babies that have the Sacred Spirits And we should hear it, everytime we’re near them We have a Job to do, s don’t you Fear it The path for them, we’re supposed to clear it Each child has a Sacred Spirit Their souls are singing, So I hope you hear them Our job is not to Fear them, But to make sure nothing Bad gets near them

BATTLEFIELD LOVE It’s a battle ya’ll, almost everyday Yet it seems like things ain’t goin our way Sometimes I wanna give up, so I pray God give me strength, that’s what I say Tell me How do I cope in a world like this ? Where the enlightened suffer and ignorance is bliss ? You can see it financially, substancially At Wall Street where the bankers be We ALL need a bailout, am I a sellout When FUCK A BLACK PRESIDENT is what I wanna yell out ? Yea BARACK OBAMA you won once more
We gave you another four, but what about the poor ? He’s Starting War After war, so everybody’s sore Cause we thought Peace And Love was at his core Family’s are suffering, Still losing thier homes Innocent are still dying, while he buying more drones And I see it and it hurts cause we’re all alone, Cause every place on the planet is a war Zone Hopelessness and despair is what people feel But like that singer once said “LOVE IS A BATTLEFIELD” It’s a battle ya’ll, almost everyday Yet it seems like things ain’t goin our way Sometimes I wanna give up, so I pray God give me strength, that’s what I say We gotta connect with nature, eat of the earth But they genetically modifying everything in the dirt We gotta stay alert, Which takes alot of work Use our minds All the time, so we don’t get hurt The reality that society is creating Is a matrix where most are TOXIC and HATING FROM GLOBAL WARMING, CLIMATE CHANGE and hurricanes To mass incarceration and people living in chains It’s kinda Strange, But I try not to complain Just keep an umbrella, in case it rains Invoke my inner-being, Illuminate the light Percieve Abundance and hope it’ll be alright It sounds much easier than it really is I need a blue pill, in a world so negative My legs are tired, but I continue to run uphill With my heart in my hands, cause LOVE’S A BATTLEFIELD It’s a battle ya’ll, almost everyday Yet it seems like things ain’t goin our way Sometimes I wanna give up, so I pray God give me strength, that’s what I say
