Verse 1: Injustice taking over there ain’t anything like it

It starts with that hype beats seeing something new and trying to buy it

Next thing it’s something new out, oh wait I want to try it

And everyone else is in shape let me go on this Diet

And now their minds will be easily taken control of

The oppressor then launches a new item and they like hold up

Wait I gotta buy it and they hop into that Lexus and when they roll up

They thinking big pimpin, but they will get caught slipping

Like Biggie Smalls that night In LA where it all ended

But the only thing different is the people will know who did it

And their minds will forever remain on lockdown

Then every single last thing becomes oppressed in that town

So their forced to listen to that voice which they fear

The only thing is that no one will shed a single tear

Because their ruled easily but at the same time with force

So they turn Invisible like the man who was the Brotherhood’s voice  

That’s when the individual reveals what’s truly happening in the society

And the citizens then see what’s wrong

They then rebel real strong

Verse 2: Now the ingredients to justice, is a recipe for success

But if you don’t have everything you may have to put someone to the test

The person put to the test will get no sort of rest

Because he’s constantly alert so he won’t get capped in his chest

Like Harrison Bergeron and the handicap General

And the dancer who was told to be so beautiful

Verse 3: The ingredients are simple you need a motive and plan

But if one is missing you’ll fall like Pearl Harbor to Japan

Which is why that individual is mostly always a man

Because we need someone to do things only a man can

The plan must be though out fully with backup ideas for each step

And practice so the individual can get the nervousness out during the reps

Verse 4: But he can’t just run off of anything which is why there’s part two

With Motivation we just do it like Nike tells us to

And with motivation comes hard work and pride

So the individual won’t become scared and run to hide

Those are the ingredients to having justice around

So if you’re in a town or a city and you see something brewing at night

You best get out of that oppressed place

Cause you not bout that life
