You explained it to me I must admitBut just for the record you were talkin' shitY'all rap about no knock bein' legislatedFor the people you've always hatedIn this hell hole you, we, call homeNo knock, the man will sayTo keep that man from beating his wifeNo knock, the man will sayTo keep people from themselvesNo knockin', head-rockin', inter-shockin'Shootin', cussin', killin', cryin', lyin'And bein' whiteNo knockNo knocked on my brother Fred HamptonBullet holes all over the placeNo knocked on my brother Michael HarrisAnd jammed a shotgun against his skullFor my protection?Who's gonna protect me from you?The likes of you?The nerve of you?Your tomato face deadpanYour dead hands ending another freedom fanNo knockin', head rockin', inter-shockin'Shootin', cussin', killin', cryin', lyin'And bein' whiteBut if you're wise, no knockerYou'll tell your no-knockin' lackeysHa!No knock on my brother's headNo knock on my sister's headNo knock on my brother's headNo knock on my sister's headAnd double lock your doorBecause soon someone may be no-knockin'Ha, ha!For you
Lyrics by Gil Scott-Heron
