Hit Me (with all you got)

One shot fades away
The memory of the man torn apart,
Crucial time,
Vengeance lurking in the back
Of the mind of the poor family,
With justice in the hands of the judges,
You only know justice won't be served,
The men in blue searching and trashing,
Making this neighborhood feared and hunted,
Rights swiped away from the fingertips
Of the minority, children and women,
Government stealing your pride,
They won't allow you to do what you want to do,
Cash in, cash out,
Two dozen bills to pay,
Only got enough for one,
Some praying for war,
Those who do seek expansion,
While killing the poor and feeding the rich.

Time to take this to the street,
They're coming at us with loaded chambers,
Standing their ground, opening fire,
We'll look into their eyes*
As we're getting up*,
We'll beat them down,
Not beat them to death.

Take your best shot,
Hit me!

With minds brainwashed and abused,
Propaganda hitting the airwaves,
Lies and overload,
Families struggle to live,
While the rich sit out in the sun
Their mansions, fortress and bloody hands,
Taking a shot back,
The cheddar,
Our minds twisted in confusion,
Time to change the ways
When the rich get richer and the poor get poorer,
Another strike, pay your dues,
Centuries and centuries,
Women still looked upon as the weak,
Changes on its way,
No need for guns,
But there is the need for fists, violence and voices.

Hit me
With everything you've got,
We're not stopping until there's justice.

Time to take this to the street,
They're coming at us with loaded chambers,
Standing their ground, opening fire,
We'll look into their eyes*
As we're getting up*,
We'll beat them down,
Not beat them to death.

Take your best shot,
Hit me!
