(feat. Dice Raw, P.O.R.N., Talib Kweli)


[Chorus: (Dice Raw) Talib Kweli]

(I will not apologize) I will not apologize

(I will not apologize) I will not apologize

This is for all of my peoples who understand and truly recognize

Some won't get it for that I won't 

(I will not apologize) I will not apologize

(I will not apologize) I will not apologize

This is for all of my peoples who understand and truly recognize

Some won't get it for that I won't apologize



[P.O.R.N.]

I'm so sick cause I'm infected but but I don't need a medic 

Need a liquid anesthetic, let me show you how I get it 

I don't got it but I bet it, I don't worry, I don't sweat it 

You can bitch, you can dead it, you can take it there like FedEx

Nothing sweet diabetic, big dog can't pet it

Pack an L then I wet it then I fill it till it's pregnant 

(Take the high back) face it everybody got a favorite 

I embrace it like I date it but my grandma think I chase it 

(Like oh yeah) I told her that her baby moving slower 

Cuz the world is on his shoulders then I woke up out that coma 

(And got right back) at it with a little black 'matic

Lay you down craft-matic, then I'm gone, black magic 

(To the hideout) you don't want to gamble with the devil

Especially when them chewy blueys got me on another level 

Cuz my teacher think I'm slow but my momma think I'm special 

But even she know I'm coming back like an echo.



[Chorus: (Dice Raw) Talib Kweli]



[Dice Raw]

For the statements I'm about to make I will not apologize 

Niggas talk a lot of shit, really need to stop the lies 

Jewels rented, cars rented, homie that ain't authentic

Acting tough on TV but to me you seem a little timid

Don't blame the nigga, blame America, it's all business

Acting like a monkey is the only way to sell tickets 

Shit I can dig it, niggas gossip silly digits

White kids buy it, it's a riot when we talking about pimping

Or sipping on old English brew or whatever they think we do 

Spraying double Uzis cuz you know they think we live in zoos

The problem is with this everyone seems to be real confused

The niggas on the streets to the old people that watch the news

And watch BET and the crazy shit they see

They associate with you do the same shit to me

When you look at me you see just a nigga from the projects 

But can't understand this nigga's mind set but still



[Chorus: (Dice Raw) Talib Kweli]



[Black Thought]

Yo, a revolution's what it's smelling like, it ain't going be televised

Governments is hellified, taking cake and selling pies

I ain't got a crust or crumb, to get some I'd be well obliged 

Murder is comodified, felon for the second time

Never was I into chasing trouble I was followed by

Facing trouble with no alibi, had to swallow pride 

Vilified, victimized, penalized, criticized

Ran into some people that's surprised I was still alive

Look into my daughter's eyes, wonder how can I provide

Got to get from A to B but how can I afford to drive? 

Messed around, tried to get a job and wasn't qualified

Had to see a pal of mine, got to get the lightning rod

Now I'm in the black Impala looking for the dollar sign 

Palms get the itching man I got to get the calamine

Before I fall behind, guess the grind will be my 9 to 5

I will not be conquered by, I will not apologize



[Chorus: (Dice Raw) Talib Kweli]
