Up In Arms
Bhi Bhiman

I was once at the forefront of the movement

Teaching my brothers, teaching sisters of their pride


Up in arms, up in arms, up in arms! I said

I told them gentrifying bastards we won't lay


200 years ain't but two things have changed

It's safe to say I've had a price upon my head


Bobby Ceiling[?] I have made important progress

It's safe to say that my glory has fled


Up in arms, up in arms, up in arms! I say

Here comes the baddest man your eyes have ever graced


Politicians never see the brown boy starving

Like Malcom X, and Martin King, Marcus Garvey


In '65 there was a climate for the riots

It's '89 and I'm seeing deja vu again


The police are always saying why this senseless violence?

But they'll light the spark and we'll be dry brush in the wind


Up in arms, up in arms, up in arms! I said

Tell me Bobby Hutton that policeman still gets paid



[Acoustic interlude]


The CIA has stumbled on a ghetto potion

It's in my lungs and it's numbed my black emotions


My lips are dry my skin is ashy, I need lotion

I've still got my gun but I ain't got sense of purpose now


I feel weak, I feel weak, I feel weaker than I have before

Ain't god an army marching in with me through Hoover's door


It's getting late I better find some place where I can sleep

My pillow debts I've left unpaid on these West Oakland streets


Up in arms, up in arms, up in arms! I said

This crackhead's pistol pointed at my face


[Acoustic interlude]

[Humming]


[Gunshot!]
