Riot Akt Gang Starr

{*DJ Premier scratches children laughing and yelling*}

[Hook: Guru]
Riot Akt, this is where we really prepare
Riot Akt, out here we show no fear
Riot Akt, time to protect our communities
Riot Akt, real criminals get immunity
Riot Akt, eye for an eye - so yo who want it?
Riot Akt, rushin all you cowards who fronted
Riot Akt, let's bring the power to the people
Riot Akt, no justice then we gotta come see you

[Verse 1: Guru]
Just like a thunderous gun clap, you wonder who done that
Put you under with one rap, me and the brothers have come back
We'll lash you for tryin that, we know you been lyin cat
So now you be lyin flat, we'll read you the riot act
Whassup you little fuck, get your life right
Cause there's too much goin in the world, and shit ain't quite right
See you're just addin to the problem
Young gun, high-strung, ready to trey-eight revolve 'em
Knot nearly in your waist, you step up in the place
Catch one off guard, he lookin silly in the face
But hear they come with the M-16's
They got teargas, helmets and clubs - knahmean?
It's martial law in these streets
It's like Afghanistan man, it's gettin raw in the streets
Still you demand your rights, I understand your plight
But do the knowledge if you plan to fight
