Skit 1 - Lowkey
What Malcolm X said when he got silenced by Elijah Mohammed
Was in fact true
America's chickensare coming home to roost
We took this country by terror
Away from the Sioux the Apache the Arowak
The Comanche the Arapahoe the Navajo Terrorism
We took Africans from their country to build our way of ease
And kept them enslaved and living in fear Terrorism
We bombed Granada and killed innocent civilians babies
Non-military personnel We bombed the black civilian community of Panama
With stealth bombers and killed unarmed teenagers and toddlers
Pregnant mothers and hardworking fathers
We bombed Qaddafi's home and killed his child
Blessed are they who bash your children's head against a rock
We bombed Iraq We killed unarmed civilians trying to make a living
We bombed a plant in Sudan to payback for the attack on our embassy
Killed hundreds of hardworking people mothers and fathers
Who left home to go that day not knowing that they would never get back home
We bombed Hiroshima we bombed Nagasaki
And we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon
And we never batted an eye Kids playing in the playground
Mothers picking up children after school civilians not soldiers
People just trying to make it day by day
We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians
And Black South Africans and now we are indignant
Because the stuff we have done overseas
Is now brought right back to our own front yards
America's chickens are coming home to roost
Violence begets violence
Hatred begets hatred
And terrorism begets terrorism
