(Close your mind, close your eyes, see with your heart How do you forgive the murderer of your father? The ink of a scholar is worth a thousand times more than the blood of a martyr) We came through the storm, nooses on our necks And a smallpox blanket to keep us warm On a 747 on the pentagon lawn Wake up, the alarm clock is connected to a bomb Anthrax lab on a west Virginia farm Shorty ain't learned to walk already heavily armed Civilians and little children is especially harmed Camouflaged Torahs, bibles and glorious Qu'rans The books that take you to heaven and let you meet the Lord there Have become misinterpreted, reasons for warfare We read em with blind eyes I guarantee you there's More there The rich must be blind because they didn't see the poor there Need to open up a park? Just close 10 schools We don't need em Can you please call the fire department they're down here marching for freedom Burn down their TV's, turn their TV's on to teach 'em The more money that they make The more money that they make The better and better they live Whatever they want to take Whatever they want to take Whatever, whatever it is The more that you want to learn The more that you try to learn The better and better it gets American Terrorist Now the poor Klu Klux man say that we're all brothers Not because things are the same because we lack the same color that's green, now that's mean Can't burn his cross cause he can't afford the gasoline Now if a Muslim woman strapped with a bomb on a bus, With the seconds running give you the jitters? Just imagine a American-based Christian organization planning to poison water supplies to bring the second-coming quicker Nigga, that ain't livin' properly Break 'em off a little democracy Turn their whole culture to a mockery Give em coca-cola for their property Give em gum, give em guns, get em young, give em fun But if they ain't giving it up, then they ain't getting none And don't give em all, no ,man, just give em some It's the paper, then these cops must be Al-Qaeda The more money that they make The more money that they make The better and better they live Whatever they want to take Whatever they want to take Whatever, whatever it is The more that you want to learn The more that you try to learn The better and better it gets American Terrorist It's like Don't give the black man food, give red man liquor Red man fool, black man nigga Give yellow man tool, make him railroad builder Also give him pan, make him pull gold from river Give black man crack, glocks and things Give red man craps, slot machines
