Dilated Peoples - Proper progaganda
Tekst :
[Harry Allen]
We re coming to you live from the Scottish Right Temple
Near the intersection of Crenshaw and Wiltshire
Where, as you can see in the background
Military personnel are mobilized and waiting orders
Despite the quiet and the deceptive calm, tension is still
thick in the air after last night s concert and rebellion
The incident was allegedly sparked by police officers trying
to shut down a reportedly peaceful concert by hip hop artists
Dilated People s
We ll keep you updated with any new developments. For Triclops
Media Watch, this is Harry Allen, hip hop activist and media assassin
And now, Proper Propaganda..
[Begin Song]
Watch it. Yes. [Indistinct shout-outs]
[Verse 1]
We handle it, these brothers are fabulous
Dilated s showing you the rhyme travelin
Words spitoon from sunlight to moon
Bustin on stage like gunfights in saloons
Boom, my mic back, you like that?
Journalists? We re journalists too, we could strike back
Hardcore reporters with orders from headquarters
Behind enemy lines, sidestepping the borders
Repressed caps, we bring it to you as it happens
The streets love my crew from music to rappin
Street commander slash beat expander
Yeah, they fight the slander with the proper propaganda
What s happenin ? You got a question? Then ask it
The news is just a TV show, get past it
And this, from a quiet wartime journalist
Headlines, wake up, refuse and resist
Resist, like this, like this
Like thi-thi-thi-thi-thi-thi-thi-this, y all
[Chorus]
We kick finance action, and scores of sports
Politics, new fashion and war reports
Entertainment, when we come to perform
Watch, the illest weatherman in the biz with the storm watch
Triclops Media, record, tape and TV, Net radio, CD or DVD
Our sights (like rhymes on paper time)
This is why Baboo is scratching and keeping time
[Scratching]
[Verse 2]
The pen is mighter than the sword
Cause the pen gives the word sending swords to war
They twisted it when he pulled Mao Tse-tung
They said political power comes from the barrel of a gun
The officer meets his fate, .44 by .38
It was a dirty deed, but that don t mean a dirty case
Witnesses against the state are shushed
Facts overlooked so the judge can throw the book
Perhaps for politicians with something to prove
In the city where they blew the roof off and move
Yo, questions when answered leads to more questions
Why it takes months to deliver a confession?
The principles are the same even without the name
But I still say M-U-M-I-A
I have to fight, it could easily be me
But just being the thinker than speakin it freely
Although I use my brain before using a fist
Don t push it, wake up, refuse and resist
[Scratching]
[Chorus]

Everything fades
Nothing stays
Tied to a place
We don t belong
Everything fades
It may be delayed
Frozen not dead
But grey and decayed
Need a stranger to show me the the truth
Need somebody to help me through
Everything fades
It s no bad thing
Trusting aside
To what can we cling
Need a stranger to show me the the truth
Need...
Whenever you feel all alone
Whenever you feel that there is no reason to go on
When there is doubt in your heart
When there is no one in this world you can find
Who will give you support in everything you do
And who will believe that you will...
Feels so good, when you love me like you should
I d stay forever here with you, if I knew that I could
I know inside, got my heart open wide
I want them all to see you and me, we re together side by side
crazy, you made me over you, girl it...
Vielleicht, vielleicht, vielleicht
ist das alles gar nicht wichtig
vielleicht nenn ich das spaß
und in wahrheit bin ich süchtig
Vielleicht, vielleicht, vielleicht
nehme ich viel zu viel in kauf
ich fange selten etwas an,
aber wenn, hör ich nicht auf
Wen soll ich suchen,
was soll ich finden,
wer von euch hält mich ab
wen soll ich suchen
und wen soll...

Clap, come on everybody just clap, come on party people just clap
Come on from the front to the back, come on come on it goes
War is life and war is death
And war s a vaccum but war s a brethe...
