Whose Streets? - Intellectual

[Intro: AWKWORD]

World Wide

It's OK to be AWKWORD, motherfucker

Whose streets? Our streets!

Everybody yell it loud

No justice, no peace

Doin more than screaming now

Whose streets? Our streets!

Everybody yell it loud

No justice, no peace

Everybody screaming out

Today we march proud, AWK's got the delegation

Even Sparks closin down, stugots, we lost your reservation

No hesitation, stocked, from the Brooklyn basement

Black, roses out the pavement, celebratin our vacation

All across America White folks meditatin

A lot of 'em medicatin, looking for sedation

While the rest are runnin round, wild, no hesitation

Got a feelin if they were Black it'd be a riot situation

Don't try it, I will waste them, shotguns, they be a facin

This isn't the place, and this is the time, for patience

And I haven't said a word, just been sittin on, the curb

A history a violence, but now there's peace in my words

I know it's more than a little scary, when a, paradigm shifts

But before the earth was round everybody feared the cliff (heh)

I'm afraid, government takedown, must be hell

Well what about their damn shutdown, now, how's ya health?

If I ruled the world, yeah it'd be democratic

I'd ask everyone to call me 'A', as a habit

You can't get more personal than that, that's how I'll have it

We'll all get along, address our grievances on Sabbath

Part capitalist part socialist, primitivist, anarchist

And I ain't talking to talk, I studied, and then I planned all this

Bigger than the giant, this hope, it made ya hand a fist

Fight back for his bandages then take him for the damages

Ravenous, that's how we were, no more, we handled it

Happiness, it's so raw, like the .44, we handled with

But before we get to business let's invite the bitches

A celebration invitation, for taking they riches

Cha-ching, topless girls, splash in my pool

But I'm in my office in my chair, rehearsing my rules

Just in case they refuse, and we are forced to get rude

I'm in my office in my chair, kind of scared to move
