"I choose to rock the boat instead of rock the vote
We threw the mayor's body in the bay to see if it would sink or float
You try to be the mack to me
You can't, we got agility
We takin' factories, production plants and all facilities
We gots a gang of mothafuckas who done ate their Wheaties
No peace treaties
You're swimmin' in your own feces
Screwed us
Now you're through with us and don't need us
Shoulda used a rubber 'cause this shit develop like a fetus"
Fuck with that shit!!!
Boots has always been raw as fuck.

Boots Riley was sickest on: "Steal this album."
"I write my lyrics on parking tickets and summons to the court
I scribbled this on an application for county support
I practice this like a sport
Met Donald Trump and he froze up
Standing on his Bentley yelling "Pimps down, hoes up""
-The ghetto manifesto
And who can forget that track with Dead Prez where he reflipped some older lyrics on "Get up":
"Now uhh, this fella, spits yella, never been a snitch teller
One pace up from my homies ditch dweller
Yellin "Fuck 'em Rocafella" my shit bump in acapella
My lyrical qoutes are nervous notes to bank tellers
When we call it off, we haulin off, Molotov's and bricks
Mr. Bailiff you could put that in the transcipts
Hope your motherfuckin petty workin band flips
Some saw it off, I prefer hand-grips
Qoute us, you know we're stronger than a 3-day no-tice
Pay aquit, It's more of us than lies your mayor spit
I'm on some "Ma hate the game but love the player" shit
Is you a "have" or you a "have not"?
When you run out of bullets grab rocks
Cuz the prison don't slam locks
It don't open when your fam knocks, 'less you rich and have stocks
Fight the power like a motherfuckin Zulu
It's The Coup plus Kanume and Mutulu
So raise your hands in the air like your born again
But make a fist for the struggle we was born to win"
