Текст Common, Lenny Kravitz, Chuck D — A Riot In My Mind
Verse 1]
Wa-da-da, wa-da-da-da-da
Cassius Clay in a [?]
Shake my mind and shake the things that trap the grind
Escape the dream, shooting star my aim is supreme
Pac said if you’re gon’ aim for king, claim a king
My brainstorm reign supreme
Black superhero with a cape and wings
Still, I’m a G like a mason ring
Built with gods and gangstas whose scars in faces
Traces of racist snakes that debased us
Tried to freebase us, mark of the beast erase us
But we raised up from East Asia
Children of Mother Nature
The minority the courts said that we major and we major
I see greater to the fire nеxt time
It’s burning down, there’s a riot in my mind
[Chorus: Lenny Kravitz]
It’s a war outsidе
When it’s quiet, it’s a riot in my mind
It’s a war outside
Won’t be quiet, it’s a riot in my mind
Gotta get it in, saddle up
If you really about it, we gon’ see, oh yeah
Gotta get it in, time is up
If you been about it, we gon’ see, oh yeah
It’s a war outside
Can’t be quiet, it’s a riot in my mind
[Verse 2]
Paraphernalia, aware like songs by Mahalia
Soldier, buffalo, Griselda
Held the scolded, told us every [?] is in seven plagues Babylon
Treated days were the Gatorades
Escapades of the everlasting
Where the ghetto praise, fuck compassion, no longer masking
Where Black men and Black women have been art, culture, fashion
The science and mad bling, dramatic attraction, we live for action
Moral arc backbend, our spirits attacking
To the, to the, tick-tick-tick top
You can lick shots, strange fruit get cropped
Get land, get stores, kick doors and sure your family is good
Plus the people next door
Some are tired about the times, some are inspired about the times
Is what power is refined, it’s a riot in my mind
[Chorus: Lenny Kravitz]
It’s a war outside
When it’s quiet, it’s a riot in my mind
It’s a war outside
Won’t be quiet, it’s a riot in my mind
Gotta get it in, saddle up
If you really about it, we gon’ see, oh yeah
Gotta get it in, time is up
If you been about it, we gon’ see, oh yeah
It’s a war outside
Can’t be quiet, it’s a riot in my mind
[Outro]
Nation against nation, simulation, indication (It’s a war, it’s a war)
Nation against nation, simulation, innovation (It’s a war)
Generation, vindication, vindication, vindication
