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

    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...

    I will be there

    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...

    Love to love

    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...

    Wer von euch

    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...

    War

    ( Iriscience )
    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...
