500 FBI agents comin' after us

With a license to kill, 30 mill

Claimin' is just a drug buzz Reach uppity reach, gotta reach

Power to the people and the beats Some people accuse some people of crimes

Some people get away wit' losin' my rhyme

They don't like where I'm comin' from so dey play dumb

Dumb, diggety dumb, diggety dumb But I'm tellin' you what they do

Everybody plays a fool

While the real thief cools in a pool He who got the finger on the war button

Talkin' loud ain't sayin' nuttin'

TV got 'em bigger than life

Now all he needs is a knife

Who the criminal? Blind, def and dumb, hard to see 'em comin'

But they come, here they come, don't be dumb, diggety dumb

Politikin' writin' bad checks, still dey gettin' wreck

Goin' fo' a nigga neck Rollin' in a blue 'n' white gang

Ready to bang, biggedy bang

Hangin' 'round da hangin' rope

Nope, nope, nope, N O P E

I ain't bendin' for the soap Never understood why the 'hood

Half of who's in da joint

Now dey got me losin' my point

Gotta have it goin' on, born criminal born Take a piece of America back

But who had it first? Hear the Indian curse

Robbed and stole so many so much

It ain't funny, now who got 'em face on money Politician passin' a bill paid in full

C note rockin' in a pocket

How they livin' makin' sure they

Lockin' us up I got a feelin' I'm When it come to somethin' we say

What dey don't like is a brother like me

On da mike in fact

To the gritty ain't none of us wack

Noriega head back Jeffrey Dahmer enter the room without cuffs

How the hell do we set stuffed

In da back of a cell on an isle, ain't it wild?

What's a criminal? Power to the people and the beats Only if I had one more

Time to kick the rhythm that keep rippin' down the door

So the real criminals get exposed behind the clothes

Doors 'n' the suits that make 'n' break da law Lookin' for my own 'cause I had enough bull

I can't understand it must be crooked way they planned it

Police supposed to keep the peace

But I can't truss 'em, so I keep my piece Loaded and cocked

'Cause I don't miss the block

Talkin' about the ones

Who don't get chained to the rock Once we got away [Incomprehensible]

While we go away for the neighborhood crime

Never liked what I saw in the law

Indiana tress hangin' us instead of leaves We hangin' from the rope

Real criminals Reach uppity reach, gotta reach

Power to the people and the beats

Reach uppity reach, gotta reach

Power to the people and the beats Reach uppity reach, gotta reach

Power to the people and the beats

Reach uppity reach, gotta reach

Power to the people and the beats Power to the people and the beats

Power to the people and the beats
