Shakedown (Recon)

Shake shake shake shake it up

It’s time for the Shakedown

Shake shake shake shake it up

It’s time for the Shakedown

It’s It’s time for the Shakedown

Time for the Breakdown

Not beats

It’s time to motivate these streets

Put away the heat

Forgive our differences

But never repeat

The only way to check the chief of police

Is to voice him out of office believe

We can achieve more than were allowed to see

Custard had his last stand because of tribal unity

When were organized we work more efficiently

There will be no silencing

Or blacklisting

Or red tape rolls

In the face of ignorance Dr. King didn’t slow his role

Malcom X understood his role

Medgar Evers knew he was a role model

Pillar of his community

To achieve equality the goal

The great ones have lost their lives

But volunteered their soul as a sacrifice

To the many for the rights

The sniper sights

Can’t assassinate all of our might

Let em bring their night sticks

Maglites

Handcuffs handguns

National guard

FBI CIA leave behind bugs

Hear that sound

Sounds like they scared of us

When it all goes down

Who ya gonna trust

Hear that sound

Sounds like they scared of us

Are you in or are you out

Who you gonna trust

Hear that sound

Sounds like they scared of us

We on the front lines

We grunts in their eyes

Your fight is my fight

Your plight is my plight

You spill my blood

You lose some of your sight

If I jack from you

I make my own pockets lite

In the long run

What’s right is what’s right

And I write from my insight

I never needed the lime light

Or popularity

Just sincerity

Please save your lies for enemy lines

Find some integrity

If you for the cause then be there for me

I’ll be here for you

I can see though and tell if you’re being true

Never understood an activist that was done

When the stun guns

And the riot gear was the oppositions tool

Police our own state of mind or remain the fool

Tightly spun from the spool

When it’s down to the duel

The time has surpassed for me and you to chose

If we on the same page with our views

I’d rather die trying

Then surrender my belief

When grief pays a visit with the blues

We will carry on battered and bruised

Brutality they choose

Out of the fear of the chance

That the power they might lose

When it all goes down

When it all goes down

When it all goes down

When it all goes down

When it all goes down

Who ya gonna trust

Hear that sound

Sounds like they scared of us

Are you in our are you out

Who you gonna trust

Hear that sound

Sounds like they scared of us

The grimmest of circumstances can have a glimpse of hope

That’s why it makes a big difference when you say I don’t vote

When you’re grabbed by the throat

Are you just gonna stand there and choke

Or invoke your amendments down to the last quote

Provoke growth wit cha actions

Rope a dope the President

When he starts the draftin

We must carry ourselves in an orderly fashion

Up against the odds

Our only chance is diligence

Intelligence

Fueled along by our passion

Rise to the occasion

Or step aside when we declare the invasion

Lives may be lost and lives may be taken

It won’t be complete until a higher consciousness is awakened

So watch the comments round me that you’re makin

A persons word is all they really have

And it’s your words that I’m takin

Take advantage of that and you can find your place vacant

That’s not a threat

Just the reality of our situation

We intend to make a mark in the history books of all nations

So stay tuned

Stay tuned for the revolution renovation

When it all goes down

Who ya gonna trust

Hear that sound

Sounds like they scared of us

Are you in our are you out

Who you gonna trust

Hear that sound

Sounds like they scared of us

When it all goes down

Who ya gonna trust

Hear that sound

Sounds like they scared of us

Are you in our are you out

Who you gonna trust

Hear that sound

Sounds like they scared of us
