Rise like coyotes Rise like coal-blackened thunder The fleet has left While the admiral slumbered Vigilante Nocturno Test the chains Gnaw the screws We are many They are few Check it It's lead poisoning I live in a land of black ropes, white justice As long as she wear the blindfold I can't trust this I'm imagining what can bring such hate This phobia or dislike grounds for a debate Some say it's trigger happy I say it's lead poisoning Somethin' that's deeply rooted In official embroidering The difference? We went from water hoses to bullets But the valve or trigger just a different figure to pull it Murdered by the state Like the cousin of the John the Baptist As if black youths aren't nothing but target practice Overindulgence of power a monstrous binge This creates anger make me want to seek revenge You invade our protests guns and heavy armor Riot shields and yielding a badge of dishonor Just a disguised version of the KKK Cops killing kids about seven a day Lead- lead- lead poisoning Lead- lead- lead poisoning Lead- lead- lead poisoning Lead- lead- lead poisoning Lead- lead- lead poisoning Lead- lead- lead poisoning It's lead poisoning Rise In all reality Police brutality cause too many casualties It starts from the improper training brainwashing of their faculty Suppose to serve and protect not disturb and disrespect With six niggas on the curb face down inside my projects A long-term effect they done got on my community They killed Little Bill but the badge gave them immunity Rodney King caught a stampede on TV Now they chokin' niggas out 'til he's like "I can't breathe" I used to watch Starksky and Hutch And Baretta and Adam-12 and such Dreamin' I could be a cop when I grow up I would see you in my neighborhood And I would trust you But now I understand why Eazy-E Is like "f*ck you!" Lead- lead- lead poisoning Lead- lead- lead poisoning Lead- lead- lead poisoning Lead- lead- lead poisoning Lead- lead- lead poisoning Lead- lead- lead poisoning It's lead poisoning Rise Rise like coyotes Rise like coal-blackened thunder The fleet has left While the admiral slumbered Vigilante Nocturno Test the chains Gnaw the screws We are many They are few
