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!]
