Proper Propaganda Dilated Peoples

[Intro: Harry Allen]
We're coming to you live from the Scottish Rite Temple
Near the intersection of Crenshaw and Wiltshire
Where, as you can see in the background
Military personnel are mobilized and waiting orders
Despite the quiet and the deceptive calm, tension is still
Thick in the air after last night's concert and rebellion
The incident was allegedly sparked by police officers trying
To shut down a reportedly peaceful concert by hip-hop artists Dilated Peoples
We'll keep you updated with any new developments
For Triclops Media Watch, this is Harry Allen
Hip-hop activist and media assassin
And now, Proper Propaganda

[Verse 1 - Rakaa Iriscience]
We handle it, these brothers are fabulous
Dilated's showing you what rhyme travel is
Words spitoon from sunlight to moon
Busting on stage like gunfights in saloons
Click-clack, pull my mic back, you like that
Journalists, we're journalists too, we could strike back
Hardcore reporters with orders from headquarters
Behind enemy lines, sidestepping the borders
Repressed caps, we bring it to you as it happens
The streets love my crew from music to rapping
Street commander slash beat expander
Here to fight the slander with the proper propaganda
What's happening, you got a question then ask it
The news is just a TV show, get past it
And this from a quiet wartime journalist
Headlines, wake up, refuse and resist
Resist, like this, like this
Like thi-thi-thi-thi-thi-thi-thi-this, y'all
