Denzel Washington in Malcom X:
'So I'm not here this afternoon as a Republican, nor as a Democrat; not as a Mason, nor as an Elk; not as a Protestant, nor a Catholic; not as a Christian, nor a Jew; not as a Baptist, nor a Methodist; in fact, not even as an American, because if I was an American, the problem that confronts our people today wouldn't even exist."
Welcome to America the land of the free
Where innocent blood spills daily from plans of greed
And demand for the green has gone and shattered the dreams
Ff our forefathers who planted a seed, passionately
Now freedom of speech is еxercised passively
Yеt the masses disagree in the streets emphatically
Actually, it's sad to see the fate of this nation
As the media twists information just to spin the situation
Because their run by corporations, and secret organizations
With corrupt motivations, but so, private its kept
Paying off politicians they deny there's a threat
Manufacture lies and death, I ain't buying that mess
I'd have to be blind and deaf to believe what your telling
Because as the national debt increases and reaches the trillions
Programs are installed to monitor the speech of civilians
While we rape over for the oil that the middle east is spilling
Gas prices rise and quickly increase threw the ceiling
If we all god's children, then how do you think Jesus is feeling
Seeing killing, genocidal wars and priests as a villain
Just paroled, released from prisons, but still preaching no sinning
And woven deep in the rhythm, is a cry for the lives lost
But a penny and a prayer for the wives' thoughts
Won't compare to the high cost so
I cry and I couldn't figure out why
Why there's poverty, don't bother me philosophy
Is commonly brought to me when discussing atrocities
I don't understand why so
I cry and I couldn't figure out why
Noam Chomsky:
"I am sick and tired of old men dreaming up wars for young men to die in"
The rates a gallon of blood per gallon of oil
Blood diamonds go for thousands, captives found in the soil
Molded into jewelry, sold souls out of the spoils
In a melting pot that boils bubbles and overflows
Lady liberty overdosed, so close to comatose
Laying face down in blood black eyed and broken nosed
With a lower pulse than flat lining older folks
So now her big brother watches and controls the votes (sung)
It's the media that inspires me to start up a riot
After they crucified the actions of Somalian pirates
But what would you do if your children were starving and dying
In one of the harshest environments broken hearted surviving
Chained to rock bottom but trying to escape extreme poverty
Honestly, you'd have the same fucking scheming' philosophy
It's obvious to me in the states, it's mostly a tyranny
Our demockery is nothing but a host for impurities
Slowly stripping away our freedoms and most of the liberties
Soon the blind won't even see a dime of social security
But this problem has a solution I'm approaching it lyrically
It's time for an evolution thought provoking and spiritually
Look close at the constitution there's quotes of revolution
All power to the people I'm just hoping you're feeling me...
“- Hector Guzman: You racist Americans. You just want to cut us poor Hispanics completely out of the market
- David Jason: No, Mr. Guzman. I think you know that there's no such thing as an American anymore. No Hispanics, no Japanese, no blacks, no whites, no nothing. It's just rich people and poor people. The three of us are all rich, so we're on the same side.”
