lyrics

Verse 1 (Jedi):
First of all, this is for the masses
Everybody, lets make something happen
Organize and let the people know
The issues that we deal with get together folks

Real people, these neighborhoods we live in
No doubt 'cuz the streets stay talkin'
Men, Women, and child doesn't even matter
People all equal even though we all scattered

Bring it up for the next generation
Peace to the world, the struggle we embracin'
Time to step it up while days go by
We can't expect a rush, It's a process for these minds

No matter what this ain't gonna end
Start off strong build with the new friends
Man Im hungry for social change fist up in the air ya'll

(Hook)

Verse 2 (Jedi):
Free the 43, this for Maguindinao
The Philippines been locked down so we should out loud
No more war against our own people
We all lookin' the same, but they talk about we illegal

Everybody been oppressed, pumpin' they chest
Ain't feelin' safe, now a bulletproof chest?
Divide & Conquer, we lookin' down on each other
Uncle Sam seperated us changed our skin colors

Sendin' our youngins to the Middle East
Just to make the paper, ain't no other oppurtunity
Red and blue lights flashin', them guns bustin
No more sunlight and you see them gorillas comin'

Surrounded by hate, everybody want fast cash
Tell me am I free with a barrel pointed to my back
Or get shot 80 times, think about that

(Hook)
