How Many Zion I

How many times have you watched the sunrise?
How many times have you looked deep into your lover's eyes?
How many times have we spit phat rhymes?
How many times? How many times?

Yo, how many rhymes would it take just for you to relate
And overstand that we living in a police state?
How many? A pretty penny I would guess, nonetheless
Media got us all desensitized under stress
How many tales of a war shore to shore
Before the last days is here that's for sure
How many days before we get more mature
And brothers with babies take care of their ladies
How many mics get crushed, blown to dust
Before we discover the true power within us
Yo, how many times can we rhyme about the same thing
Before we realize stand up we got to change things?
How many times have you seen the sunset?
How many times has your ass been in debt?
How many times have you bumped our cassette?
How many times? How many times?

Yo, how many times do the seasons turn for Babylon?
Burn this is my own concern to carry on
Traditional listen yo, how many brother's tears have shed
By my people for over four hundred years?
How many times have you lied and cheated, acted conceited
Didn't need it, you want it, how many times running
How many scars and cuts, bruises from the battle
From those who got beef - How many ever seen cattle?
Killed in cold blood for you to eat it up
How much more till somebody says that's enough?
How many times have you watched a full moon?
How many times have you cried alone in your room?
How many times have you felt the bass boom?
How many times? How many times?
