Lyrics
Terrorist Hunt By Chantay “Legacy” Leonard Let's find us a terrorist in the form of 400 years oppression Who blames others for the economic regression and continental depression Terrorists be in session on Capitol Hill Getting a great big thrill off bringing the pain to you At the cost of drops of your children's innocent blood Flooding airwaves and brainwaves with American propaganda Pandered to politically powerless peoples Enslaved by capitalistic culprits cunning countless minds on corporate plantations The math they don't want you to figure out Equates to this He who controls human interests Controls world interest In stocks and bonds Which generates capital For the Capitol And he who has these Has the power to control your world To reshape your reality and your mind So yes let's finds us a terrorist Whose name ain't bin Laden Cuz it's your government that's been plottin Been bombin Been stealin Been killin Been lyin Been hiding Behind the mask of patriotism Where politrick-tians masquerade for the mindless media Who masters you Yes the TV is your all knowing source of misinformation Misconceptions mutilating and murdering the Truth You buy in , you sell out To the convoluted convictions of Americanism Caught up in the bars and stripes of your prison sentence To this country that waves a banner stained with your ancestors’ blood Blinded by Hollywood stars In this cast of political pawns Trapped in a game of international chess Where the next move is undetermined by your own choice You have surrendered your voice to the Puppet Master You let him speak for you Strategically place you in peril This war is not in the name of God, but is a scheme of the Devil So yes let's find us a terrorist Whose religion is not Islam This damn sure ain't no Holy War The seeds of Abraham have risen against one another Isaac and Ishmael Cousins killing cousins Blood relations engaging in generational devastation Only to have a third party nation Step in and keep the ruckus going So the money and oil can keep flowing Into their pockets Launching missiles and rockets Targeted not in the pursuit of peace But dollars, and more dollars Confounding us all from simple men to scholars Christians and Muslims are even at odds Don't you know you both serve the same God Just different names You've all been caught up in the game of religion Shackled to doctrines that cause division The whole world is being twisted and tricked Terrorized by the lawmakers, who really are the lawbreakers The soul takers The profit from the people makers Let's find us some real terrorists And put them in their graves Or remain enslaved to this mockery of democracy This whore of mass hypocrisy Let's Chant Babylon Down Let's start a Revolution Now Let's Get our Minds Right Let's Stand Up and Fight And if we Must Die Then Let Us Die Free Show and Prove That all can have Liberty, Justice, and Equality Liberty, Justice, and Equality Liberty, Justice, and Equality And if I must die Then let me die FREE
