No Compromises - Intellectual

Free The P!

Invincible, listen

Spittin', and I ain't gotta get permission

Metamorphosis

No better metaphor for this

Lyrics to part my lips, paint you a self portrait

Did my people make it out of Auschwitz

In order to become our own oppressors?

Present situation is torturous

A fortress is built, twenty-five feet tall

I think that's five feet of concrete

Apartheid wall

It's called a security fence

But all I see as far as the eye stretches

Are superiority complex

New dawn, and awakening

Eyes wide open to the lies spoken paper thin

No life times frozen

Keep changing, no faking or playing

Pretend I'm hoping

To step outside without choking on breaking wind

From factory smoke, this is sulfur not sess

Schools closing chapters, getting ulcers from the stress

Breathing that gives you asthma is hazardous to your health

Just to be an inhabitant in the city where you rest

It's a quest for the spirit of resistance (resistance)

You can hear it in the distance if you listen

Persistence

So what we fighting for?

The day were you ain't even got to fight no more

And that's the vision

Risen up to heights we soar

I hope I opened up a can of worms

With all these anecdotes

Cause you can never candy-coat the truth

And once you know it, proof

Then you can't ignore it

Yo' Che, equip 'em with this handy quote

{Bridge}

At the risk of soundin' ridiculous

True revolutionaries guided by feelings of love

Give a hundred percent

Demolish buildings and spilling civilians' blood

Collective punishment

But you know what I meant

[Chorus]

The new dawn

Sun rising on the horizon

It's a new day

Every opportunity lies, in the crisis

I'm giving this my all when I write this

We in it for the long haul

No Compromises

{Revolution x 6}

(Verse 2)

Slap a cop like Zsa Zsa Gabor

I'm ready like Helen to tell 'em I want a divorce

In the wedding vows they promised to protect and serve, but

We battered wives don't even get respect we deserve (analyze)

Increased police presence

Adolescents get sentenced as felons

And there's never no preventative measures

To help us change the conditions, respectfully

Without putting the life on the line

For this industry to referee

There's a discrepancy, of good cop bad cop

Every cop operates with injustice as the back drop

So for the have-nots

Survival is padlocked

Inside of the jackpot

We ripping it to shreds

You ask what came first?

The chicken or the egg?

But they both foul and rotten

Laws, politicians, they plot 'em

And the cops on patrol, keep us locked in parole

Man they all getting coal in their stockings, so

Apathy's not an option

For all the lessons in life that you learn

We're not stopping until we're getting a right of return

To all the Zionist denying us, listen

(We're tireless)
