[00:04.32]Close your mind, close your eyes, see with your heart
[00:10.67]How do you forgive the murderer of your father?
[00:15.11]The ink of a scholar is worth a thousand times more
[00:19.53]Than the blood of a martyr (uh)
[00:22.92]Terrorist (yeah, uh)
[00:25.73]We came through the storm
[00:27.91]Nooses on our necks and a smallpox blanket to keep us warm
[00:31.54]On a 747, on the Pentagon lawn
[00:34.48]Wake up, the alarm clock is connected to a bomb
[00:37.60]Anthrax lab on a West Virginia farm
[00:40.29]Shorty ain’t learned to walk, already heavily armed
[00:43.28]Civilians and little children is especially harmed
[00:45.95]Camouflaged Torahs, Bibles and glorious Korans
[00:49.04]The books that take you to Heaven and let you meet the Lord there
[00:51.89]Have become misinterpreted, reasons for warfare
[00:54.84]We read ’em with blind eyes, I guarantee you there’s more there

[01:07.22]They’re down here marching for freedom
[01:08.94]Burn down ATV’s, turn their TV’s on to teach ’em and move

[01:34.85]Now the poor Klu Klux, man, see that we’re all brothers
[01:37.74]Not ’cause things are the same, because we lack the same color
[01:40.61]And that’s green, now that’s mean
[01:43.03]Can’t burn his cross ’cause he can’t afford the gasoline
[01:46.46]Now if a Muslim woman strapped with a bomb on a bus
[01:49.25]With the seconds running give you the jitters
[01:51.45]Just imagine an American-based Christian organization
[01:54.70]Planning to poison water supplies to bring the Second Coming quicker

[02:06.36]Give ’em Coca-Cola for their property
[02:09.38]Give ’em gum, give ’em guns, get ’em young, give ’em fun
[02:12.47]But if they ain’t giving it up, then they ain’t getting none
[02:15.32]And don’t give ’em all, naw, man, just give ’em some
