24-7 Spyz

24-7 Spyz (pronounced "twenty-four-seven spies") are a band from the South Bronx, New York, formed in 1986, originally consisting of Jimi Hazel (real name, Wayne K. Richardson) (guitar), Rick Skatore (real name, Kenneth D. Lucas) (bass), Kindu Phibes (drums), and P. Fluid (real name, Peter Forrest) (vocals).

I'm not going - No, no not me
How can you run from a tragedy
I'm not going - No, no not me
So what if you got a Ph.D.

Take a look around - You'll end up in the ground
Cut in the prime of youth, slain 'cause you tell the truth
It's a mess to confess, to be young and free
Unless you hold on to your dignity

The days are short - the night are long
In the field with the beast - I do not belong
I'm sticking to my attitude
Don't take me for a common dude

Stripped from home I won't allow
The vote's any second now
I'm not going - they want to hear
Yes, yes take me

Protect me from this - my family I'll miss
It's not for me to fight
Those that I don't know
I love who I am - I'll change if I go

Corruption's in my neighborhood
The men in blue, don't think I'm good
I dress like any other guy
The question is to live of die

I can tell we're in hell, dipped in genocide
No shelter for those, to run and hide
Protest those who have authority
Death's not a threat, that's made by me

My brother's on the front line
My sister's on the front line
To volunteer your self pride
Can bring you back
A changed mind
