Lyrics One Four Love, Pt. 2 - Mos Def

The precinct is crooked
My man got grabbed up
Had cracks on him worth a bullet
They just took it
Asked him a few questions like
"Where the guns?"
They tried to G him
To tell them where was Un
(How the come?)
Ten deep in a red 15 passenger
Guns out when they jumped out
Pointed at us
Here comes what they call a procedure
Slammin' us against a gate
Cuffin us before they beat us

It's like they can't trust us
They wanna bust us and rush us
They sayin "F"us
There's no peace no Just-us
They claim to protect us
They serve and they wreck us
Never respect us
Arrest us and always stress us

To see the devil die is my purpose of
Self-determinance is the must
I practice Kujichagulia
Yo free your mind and yo Bitch is sure to follow
And when freed men come to lock it down
Look out for tips that's hollow

Its P.I.T. Soprano
Mix it down
Dedicated to steve FelicIano
Directed at Steve McGarrett and Danno
F' the 5-0 pronto cause i know
First head to take the white and burst lead
Never did but might have to do it
Lies twenty-five hollow shots in a Pro-active unit
Exit 7A NJ
Stop the BS movement
That's how we do it
Mobilize the people
Conscious Niggas get to it

My people unite
And let's all get down
We gotta have what?
Love peace and understandin'
One god one love one light
One aim one voice one fight

My people unite
Hop up and do it right
We gotta have what?
Love peace and understandin'
One love one god one light
One aim one voice one fight
My people unite
Hop up and do it right
Do it right y'all
Keep it tight y'all
Do it right y'all
Just do it

To forget police brutality
I work for a salary
And did time for crime i didn't commit
They tried to beat me in my head
Make a brotha submit
Hit me in the face with sticks
Lockin' me down for bein' around
I still remember
Never surrenderin' to the beast
The man
Peace for Diallo
My reality is to fight back Police brutality

Mr officer got me trapped in the dark corridor
Long hallway
They in love with the gunplay
Swing night sticks
Run thicker than Bloods and Crips
Harass mad cats and it don't make sense
Roll around in the dark tints
Fiend to match fingerprints
Search me down everyday
And you still ain't content

Oh-oh-oh-oh
Calm your nerves down
Bop your heads too high
(Let 'em know rock)
Stop wonderin' why you keep gettin' knocked
Cause you a part-time dealer
Prob'ly a part-time pops
Part time killer
But them dudes is full-time cops
Pick a hustle stupid
You half-ass black act
Use your head for more than a hat rack
Jack ass
Start runnin' your life
Instead of runnin' the streets
Runnin' your mouth (oh yeah)
And stop runnin' from peace

My people unite
And let's all get down
We gotta have what?
Love peace and understandin'
One god one love one light
One aim one voice one fight

My people unite
And let's all get down
We gotta have what?
Love peace and understandin'
One god one love one light
One aim one voice one fight

My people unite
And let's all get down
We gotta have what?
Love peace and understandin'
One god one love one light
One aim one voice one fight

My people unite
And let's all get down
We gotta have what?
Love peace and understandin'
One god one love one light
One aim one voice one fight
