1000 Deaths

[Intro: Khalid Abdul Muhammad] "When I say Jesus, I’m not talking about some blond-haired, blue-eyed, pale-skinned, buttermilk complexion cracker Christ. I’m talking about the Jesus of the Bible, with hair like lamb’s wool. I'm talking about that good hair, I'm talking about that nappy hair. That his body would be like beryl. Another scripture said his body would be like jasper. Another scripture said his body would be like fine brass, as though it had been burned in an oven. Jesus: the Lord, the Savior, the Master, the Redeemer. Jesus, the Black revolutionary Messiah. Taken up on the hill, up on the mountain by Satan, by the Devil. And the Devil talked about a New World Order. The devil talked about giving Jesus all of this world out there, if Jesus would just seek an alliance with him, if he would just bow down to him. And I say to you here tonight, devil: get thee behind me, Satan. Get thee behind me, Satan." [Fred Hampton] "Black people need some peace, white people need some peace. And we are going to have to fight, we're going to have to struggle, we're going to have to struggle relentlessly to bring about some peace because the people that we're asking for peace, they're a bunch of megalomaniac war-mongers, and they don't even understand what peace means. We've got to fight them, we've got to struggle with them to make them understand what peace means." [Verse 1] I can't believe I can't get over my fear They're gonna send me over the hill Ah, the moment of truth is near They're gonna send me over the hill [Verse 2] I can't believe I'm so caught up in the thrill Ain't nothin' (And nothing's) gonna change my will Locked and loaded up, and I know the drill (say know what I'm saying) They're gonna send me over the hill [Pre-Chorus] I been a witness to this game for ages And if I stare death in face, no time to waste But oh! [Chorus] And if I charge it to the game before Every time I slip into the unknown Well that's only when the spot gets blown It's war That is the Lord! I won't nut up when we up thick in the crunch Because a coward dies a thousand times But a soldier only dies just once Once, once [Verse 3] Yahweh, Yehushua He don't want no coward soldier Aaah stick it in the golden sand Musta didna hearda ma prayer I receive everything that it means And wield it victoriously Aha, and cast out all the wickedness (When they) send me over the hill I was born to kill Send me over the hill [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus]
