You explained it to me I must admit
But just for the record you were talkin' shit
Long rap about no knock bein' legislated
For the people you've always hated
In this hell hole that you, we, call home
No knock, the man will say
To keep that man from beating his wife
No knock, the man will say
To protect people from themselves
No knockin', head-rockin', inter-shockin'
Shootin', cussin', killin', cryin', lyin'
And bein' white
No knock
No knocked on my brother Fred Hampton
Bullet holes all over the place
No knocked on my brother Michael Harris
And jammed a shotgun against his skull
For my protection?
Who's gonna protect me from you?
The likes of you?
The nerve of you?
To talk that shit, face to face
Your tomato face deadpan
Your deadpan deadening another freedom plan
No knockin', head rockin', inter-shockin'
Shootin', cussin', killin', cryin', lyin'
And bein' white
But if you're wise, no knocker
You'll tell your no-knockin' lackeys
No knock on my brother's heads
No knock on my sister's heads
No knock on my brother's heads
No knock on my sister's heads
And double lock your door
Because soon someone may be no-knockin'
Ha, ha!
For you
