Through steel walls Your voice bastin′ on True rebel my brother mumia I reflect upon You be tha spark That set all tha prairie fires on Make tha masses a mastodon path To trample tha fascist on At fifteen exposed philly′s finest killing machine With boots and mad gins They tried to pacify you young Cause and effect smell tha smoke and tha breeze My panther my brother We are at war until you′re free
You′ll never silence tha voice of the voiceless
You see tha powerful got nervous Cause he refused to be their servant ′cause he spit truth That shook heads And burned like black churches Prose and verses A million poor in hearses Watch tha decision of dred scott As it reserves So long as the rope Is tight around mumia′s neck Let there be no rich white life We bound to respect Cause and effect Can′t ya smell tha smoke in the breeze My panther my brother we are at war until you′re free
You′ll never silence tha voice of the voiceless
And orwell′s hell a terror era coming through But this little brother′s watching you too
