Written by：Talib Kweli Greene/H. Charlemagne/Corey Smyth
I got a part to play
We going hard these days
F**k the harder way
We doing it the smarter way
To my God I pray
That's how I start my day
The bullets starts to spray the revolution starts today
I say the sh*t these people ain't got the heart to say
F**k the harder way we doing it the smarter way
To my god I pray that's how I start my day
The bullets starts to spray the revolution starts today
You say you never scared there's kids
In other countries
Making jerseys jeans
And sneakers they could never wear
Parents never there they're busy
Building homes they can't afford to buy
Cars they can't afford to drive
Working jobs that don't support their life
You busy screaming gangsta
Gangsta all that talk is trife
You already know lost the fight
If you don't know the cost of life
These kids is forced to fight
A war they can't outrun
Ain't got no shoes but got a gun
Now where the f**k he pulled that out from
People ask me how we wearing diamonds
When there's little kids in Sierra Leone
Losing arms for crying while they mining
Probably an orphan who's momma died of AIDS
He built a coffin working often but he never paid
Forever slaving in the world that's forever cold
Becoming the man of the house at 11 years old
This reality rap I get inside the mentality that
Terrorize you like a cowardly act
Come on
I got a part to play we going hard these days
F**k the harder way we doing it the smarter way
To my God I pray that's how I start my day
The bullets starts to spray the revolution starts today
I say the sh*t these people ain't got the heart to say
F**k the harder way we doing it the smarter way
To my god I pray that's how I start my day
The bullets starts to spray the what
I was sold to a sick European by a rich African battlin'
Middle Passages I can't go back again
Battlin' years of denied history lies and mysteries
Wives with misty eyes watchin' their husbands be beaten viciously
Battle in the wilderness of North America
Run by the river only stoppin' to pray chased by predators
Terrorists with etiquette who vote and kill their president
Their capacity for evil so evident and prevalent
Ain't no hesitation involved a nation dissolved
While we sit back waitin' to evolve
Those who would trade in their freedom
For their protection deserve neither
Not a name not tradition
Religion you learn Jesus
Turn the other cheek
In herit the Earth just stay meek
F**k the way you speak
Try to run we chop off your feet
Fast forward to 2004 we selling
Yo this ain't what I'm settling for
I want more yo
I got a part to play
We going hard these days
F**k the harder way we doing it the smarter way
To my god I pray that's how I start my day
The bullets starts to spray the revolution starts today
I say the sh*t these people ain't got the heart to say
F**k the harder way we doing it the smarter way
To my god I pray that's how I start my day
The bullets starts to spray the revolution starts today
