"They did not have the power to stop Louis Farrakhan

They were trying to touch on and feed envy within the leadership

But as a general and a man that rose through the ranks through discipline

His presence inspired those men with the discipline

he imposed on his own life

Louis Farrakhan"

[Nas]

No revolutionary gets old or so I'm told

Your left full of bullet holes when you tell the people go free

Oh, it's a matter of days before they try to take me

I heard gun shots rang; his bullet's got my name

I ain't see 'em take aim, I dreamt this day came

'Cause I stood in the face of damnation

Satan spat at 'em, flat out disgraced 'em

He want my blood, why me?

Why not the fake who deserve death man?

Fuck it, I'll take one

'Cause stop me but can't stop a whole nation of millions

who feel you deceived them

They believe in reparation makes it even

So I'm deadly now because of one reason, they listening

In Budapest, Japan, China, and Switzerland

We getting it in son, another bullet pass by, miss me

Wondering who plotting to get me?

Alphabet boys still plotting against me

To hush me and stuff me in the pockets of history

You won't remember why they came to clip me

When time go by you'll soon forget me

They say he was the king of bling, jewels, and Bentley's

Then I use one of my lines just to prove I'm guilty

Don't let' em kill me...

[Sample]

"They did not have the power to stop Louis Farrakhan."

"They did not have the power to stop Louis Farrakhan."

"They did not have the power to stop Louis Farrakhan."

"They did not have the power to stop Louis Farrakhan."

Some revolutionaries do live long

Am I one of them? Guess we'll know in due time

Everybody has rights, can I use mine?

Can I rock shine? Can I have a girl that's too fine?

Got a swell life, tell me will I lose mine?

Every time I turn around somebody new dying

Let's start living, alecart, Escargo, Escobar invest my millions

Mansion for the wife the rest for the children

Knowing that they coming anytime

But until then I'm gonna in lost till they shoot me

Million dollar stones in my camouflaged Gucci

Giving you this crack like Pookie

To question the system, be the resistance

No matter what color you are everybody niggas

Or you can stand by or watch or you can march on with us

[Chorus - Nas 2x]

Some revolutionaries get old although I'm told

You'll get a left full of bullet holes when you tell the people go free

Oh, it's a matter of days before they try to take me
