2nd Amendment Lyrics by Pumpkinhead

The Old Testament

2012

[Intro]
The Second Amendment, y'all
The right to bear arms and protect whatever you believe in
You gonna do it like this
Pumpkinhead
Yeah
Mumia Abu-Jamal
Peace brother

[Verse 1]
My grandparents sat at the back of the bus
While racists stared at my grandmother acting all flush
And then grandpop stood up, they strapped him in cuffs
And still to this day they acting on us
These D's look just like us and I don't know who to trust
Biggie and Pac got bust, who's next to bite the dust?
The government is corrupt, the world's about to erupt
It's hard to adjust, got my mom and sister out of Brooklyn in a rush
'Cause now sistеrs growing up
And their friends from the old way, ain't nothing but clucks
Bucking thе fuck, getting transmitted diseases in the back of a 4 truck
With the system in it, windows tinted
Exactly what Illuminati recommended
Self-destruction has been now implemented

[Chorus]
They promised us "40 acres and a mule"
But all we got was 40 ounces of prune
Now, what you want to do, black folk, I'm talking to you
Try to play us for fools, now that shit ain't cool
Yo, I've been aware and I swear that I bear arms
And bomb to protect my people, sisters and moms
Yo, I've been aware and I swear that I bear arms
And bomb to protect my people, sisters and moms

[Verse 2]
I hold my faith in the palm of my hand
Promised the Land by a dishonest man, I'm like the calm before the sand
All I want is what I demand
It's like I'm in a jam, trying not to be damned
Understand my roots are grand, be on your kin [?] clan
My people roam the sands of Pakistan
Rich Africans enslaved by savages
Forced to serve man or get wrapped in bandages
Or get hung a tree, pulled apart by horse carriages
Little children hiding out in the cabinets, warmed by a Candlestick picture
Picture that and you don't want us to fight back, we sick of that
You taught me how to eat swine
And to wash away my pain with malt liquors and wine
I seen the sign, analyze what I rhyme
I don't got time to dance on MTV Grind
[?] TV, and then so what I find
A white man in Africa, who be swinging from Vines

[Break]
That's some funny shit, word

[Chorus]
They promised us "40 acres and a mule"
But all we got was 40 ounces of prune
Now, what you gon' to do, black folk, I'm talking to you
Try to play us for fools, now that shit ain't cool
Yo, I've been aware and I swear that I bear arms
And bomb to protect my people, sisters and moms
Yo, I've been aware and I swear that I bear arms
And bomb to protect my people, sisters and moms
They promised us "40 acres and a mule"
But all we got was 40 ounces of prune
Now, what you gon' to do, black folk, I'm talking to you
Try to play us for fools, now that shit ain't cool
Yo, I've been aware and I swear that I bear arms
And bomb to protect my people, sisters and moms
Yo, I've been aware and I swear that I bear arms
And bomb to protect my people, sisters and moms

[Outro]
2nd Amendment, yeah
Back in the days, right to bear arms
