James Lyrics by Skipp Coon & Mister Nick

Sophomore Slump Vol. 1: Independents Day

0

[Scene from the motion picture Network]
So, a rich little man with white hair died. What has that got to do with the price of rice? Right? And why is that woe to us? Because you people, are listening to me right now. Because less than 3% of you people read books. Because less than 15% of you read newspapers. Because the only truth you know is what you get over this Tube. Right now there is a whole, an entire, generation that never knew anything that didn't come out of this Tube
[Verse: Skipp Coon]
See now that y'all got Obama
Y'all happy as some pigs in slop
I'm waitin' for the other shoe to drop
I got these guns to cop
The revolution won't be televised so I refuse to watch
Middle finger to the cops, the struggle won't ever stop
Without some force put to it, their bubble won't ever pop
Time ain't told by the hands on the clock
And water don't get cold if the stove hold the pot
If knowledge is the key, why do I need to pick the lock?
My eye to the scope, I'm waiting to take the shot
The people having power put that powder on the block
Them crackers havin' power, that's what made me want a Glock
You probably act inside the studio, the mic is just a prop
I put that pressure on 'em I ain't askin' them to stop
I know my daddy, but them beacons and TV was my pops
Furious Styles I love you
You and momma all I got
If y'all some men, I'm William Wallace
I am not Scotch
Everything I am, see that's everything you're not
I'm too old school to ever celebrate being shot
We ain't free yet
They biggest concession was Barack
I'm still wondering what happened to the weapons in Iraq
Funny how I see slave ships, y'all call 'em yachts
This city don't want housing, it want vacant lots
And crackers IS racist, more often than not
Jimmy Carter said it, he old, but he ain't forgot
I call it how I see it, y'all marks in the shell game
From where I stand freedom is more important than fame
We got enough J.J.'s who wanna be a James?
I won't stop until my project windows can see the flames
Who wanna be a James?
I won't stop until the project windows can see the flames
Who wanna be a James?
I won't stop until the project windows can see the flames
Who wanna be a James?
I won't stop until the project windows can see the flames
Who wanna be a James?
I won't stop until the project windows can see the flames
