[00:00.00]Act III Scene 2 (Shakespeare) - Saul Williams
[00:03.21]Written by：Thavius BeckDe La RoachSaul Williams
[00:06.42]This is a call out to all the youth in the ghettos suburbs villages townships
[00:12.12]To all the kids who download this song for free
[00:14.85]By any means
[00:16.24]To all the kids short on loot but high on dreams
[00:18.79]All the kids watching TV like yo I wish that was me
[00:21.65]And all the kids pressing rewind on let's get free
[00:24.26]I hear you
[00:25.58]To all the people within the sound of my voice
[00:29.11]Spit for the hated the reviled the unrefined
[00:32.12]The no ones the nobodies the last in line
[00:34.30]Shakespeare
[00:35.03]Spit for the hated the reviled the unrefined
[00:37.93]The no ones the nobodies the last in line
[00:40.38]I didn't vote for this state of affairs
[00:42.25]My emotional state's got me prostrate fearing my fears
[00:45.62]In all reality I'm under prepared
[00:47.84]'Cause I'm ready for war but not sure if I'm ready to care
[00:51.46]And that's why I'm under prepared
[00:53.64]'Cause I'm ready to fight
[00:54.98]But most fights got me fighting back tears
[00:57.29]'Cause the truth is really I'm scared
[00:59.32]Not scared of the truth
[01:00.78]But just scared of the length you'll go to fight it
[01:03.51]I tried to hold my tongue son
[01:05.01]I tried to bite it
[01:06.09]I'm not trying to start a riot or incite it
[01:09.04]'Cause Brutus is an honorable man
[01:10.84]It's just coincidence that oil men would wage war on an oil rich land
[01:14.54]And this one goes out to my man
[01:17.31]Taking cover in the trenches with a gun in his hand
[01:20.16]Then gets home and no one flinches when he can't feed his fam
[01:23.32]But Brutus is an honorable man
[01:26.67]Spit for the hated the reviled the unrefined
[01:29.57]The no ones the nobodies the last in line
[01:32.05]Shakespeare
[01:32.55]Spit for the hated the reviled the unrefined
[01:35.26]The no ones the nobodies the last in line
[01:37.80]If you have tears prepare to shed them now
[01:40.14]For you share the guilt of blood spilt in accordance with the dow Jones
[01:43.93]Dow drops fresh crop skull and bones
[01:46.18]A machete in the heady Hutu Tutsi Leno
[01:48.99]An afghani in a shanty doodle dandy yank on
[01:51.79]An Iraqi in gap khaki coca coma come on
[01:54.71]Be ye bishop or pawn
[01:56.31]In the streets or the lawn
[01:57.65]You should know that these example could go on and on and
[02:01.00]What since does it make to keep your ears to the street
[02:03.26]As long as oils in the soil truth is never concrete
[02:06.18]So we dare to represent those with the barest of feet
[02:08.97]'Cause the laws to which we're loyal keep the soil deplete
[02:11.92]It's our job to not let history repeat
[02:14.07]Spit for the hated the reviled the unrefined
[02:17.03]The no ones the nobodies the last in line
[02:19.25]Shakespeare
[02:19.84]Spit for the hated the reviled the unrefined
[02:22.64]The no ones the nobodies the last in line
[02:25.10]Shakespeare
[02:25.55]Spit for the hated the reviled the unrefined
[02:28.40]The no ones the nobodies the last in line
[02:30.91]Shakespeare
[02:31.45]Spit for the hated the reviled the unrefined
[02:34.12]The no ones the nobodies the last in line
[02:46.39]So here's the plan
[02:47.38]The ides of march are always at hand
[02:49.35]And when the power hungry strike
[02:50.76]They strike the poorest of man
[02:52.26]And if you dare put up a fight
[02:53.70]They'll come and fight for your land
[02:55.02]And they'll call it liberation or salvation
[02:57.48]A call to the youth
[02:58.92]Your freedom ain't so free it's just loose
[03:00.73]But the power of your voice could redirect any truth
[03:03.55]Shift and shape the world you want
[03:05.08]And keep your fears in a noose
[03:06.59]Let them dangle from a banner star spangled
[03:08.93]I'm willing and able
[03:10.33]To lift my dreams up out of their cradle
[03:12.37]Nurse and nurture my ideals
[03:13.67]'Til they're much more than a fable
[03:15.26]I can be all I can be and do much more than I'm paid to
[03:18.16]And I won't be a slave to
[03:19.52]What authorities say do
[03:21.00]My desire to live within a nation on fire
[03:23.80]Where creative passions burn and raise the stakes ever higher
[03:26.69]Where no person is addicted top some twisted supplier
[03:29.53]Who promotes the sort of freedom sold to the highest buyer
[03:32.38]We demand a truth naturally at one with the land
[03:35.31]Not a plant that photosynthesizes bombs on demand
[03:38.10]Or a search for any weapons we let fall from our hands
[03:41.09]I got beats and a plan
[03:42.45]I'mma do what I can
[03:43.80]And what you do is question everything they say do
[03:46.70]Every goal ideal or value they keep pushing on you
[03:49.64]If they ask you to believe it question whether it's true
[03:52.54]If they ask you to achieve is it for them or for you
[03:55.41]You're the one they're asking to go carry a gun
[03:58.23]Warfare ain't humanitarian
[03:59.99]You're scaring me son
[04:01.13]Why not fight to feed the homeless jobless fight inflation
[04:04.00]Why not fight for our own health care and our education
[04:06.85]And instead invest in that erasable lead
[04:09.75]'Cause their twisted propaganda can't erase all the dead
[04:12.66]And the pile of corpses pyramid on top of our heads
[04:15.48]Or never mind said the shotgun to the head
