C.I.A. (Criminals In Action)

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

KRS-One comin' through

Big Zack

Last Emperor

Woop woop

Haha, that's the sound of EMS

Haha, Last Emperor, KRS

Haha, Big Zack, you know the rest

Now we gon' come down like this now

Hold tight, all crew, listen

This voice shatters the calm of the day like an alarm

So wake up, battle youth, and take up arms

'Cause war is necessary in vocabulary war

'Cause a toxic rock imports, hittin' on your door

CIA I see you later, 'cause your time is comin' soon

I flip the shit like Pacino when it's your Dog Day Afternoon

Attica, Attica, drug agents you bring your static-a

My alphabet will slash, connect, and flip you, automatic-a

Dramatic, like Ali Shaheed Muhammad brought the vibes

I bring the sun at red dawn upon the thoughts of Frantz Fanon

So stand at attention devil dirge

You never survive, choose your size against direction of the Earth

The infiltrator, child-intoxicator

People-incarcerator, liberation-movement-annihilator

We got you clocked pushin' rocks and you fail

We got brothers troopin' subways like the Ho Chi Minh trail

We got the truth daddy, Last Emperor, KRS and

History manifested, Jamal the next lesson

You claim I'm sellin' crack, but you be doin' that

You claim I'm sellin' crack, but you be doin' that

You know the cops, they got a network for the toxic rock

You claim I'm sellin' crack, but you be doin' that

So get that flashlight outta my face

You claim I'm sellin' crack, but you be doin' that

The Last Emperor, KRS-One and Big Zack

As free market capitalism and technology expands

The Third World's fertile soil becomes a desert wasteland

So it takes fans to demand the government provide answers

When Lady Liberty has me bewitched like Samantha

And poverty is one of the most malignant forms of cancer

To all my black magic romancers and acid rain dancers

Develop close ties like Jerry Seinfeld and George Costanza

We fear no man, and throw jams that

Attack counterintelligence programs

Exciting like the epic adventures of Conan

I colonize minds like Zaire by the Belgians

Now what the hell is the problem with this system and what it sells us

I bring ancient relics like Wyclef did the Zealots

I saw an Iron Curtain called hip hop

And got it open like Boris Yeltsin

Whirlwind, tornadoes in the rainforest if you say so

KRS and the Last Emperor like the Green Hornet and Kato

Zack De La Rocha brings the enraged flow

But all three drop science and become

The most powerful alliance since NATO

You claim I'm sellin' crack, but you be doin' that

You claim I'm sellin' crack, but you be doin' that

You claim I'm sellin' crack, but you be doin' that

You know the cops, they got a network for the toxic rock

You claim I'm sellin' crack, but you be doin' that

So get that flashlight outta my face

You claim I'm sellin' crack, but you be doin' that

The Last Emperor, KRS-One and Big Zack

Need I say the CIA be criminals in action

Cocaine crack unpackin', high-surveillance trackin'

Prominent blacks and whites givin' orders for mass slaughters

I want all my daughters to be like Maxine Waters

When they flooded the streets with crack cocaine

I was like Noah, now they lower 'cause the whole Cold War is over

Communism fell to the dollars you were grabbin' it

All the assault and batterin' in the name of intelligence gatherin'

Now it's karma you battlin', a losin' fight

I choose the mic to recite ignite light in the night, a'ight?

We should beat 'em, President Clinton should delete 'em, it's not hard

The CIA simply has no more job

Oh my God, it's mother, you can fix this

We rock over mixes, not six-six-sixes

Yo this is the message to all that can hear it

If you got secret information now's the time to share it

Call your congresswoman, your senator, your mayor

It's time for all the scholars to unite with all the players

Rearrange and see, times are definitely changin' G

They used to tap the phone, now they tappin' while you pagin' me

It's crazy B, yet it's plain to see who the enemy

Who's left, the NRA? The ATF? The AMA?

Okay, okay, it's all irrelevant

'Cause in the new millennium, there'll be no central intelligence

Uh, yeah, uh, yeah, throw your hands up

You know what's up kid, throw your hands up

Haha, yeah, haha, yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah, hahaha

Now we got a lot of problems

In the everyday world there's problems

Problems are comin'

That's right, now we got problems

You got a problem? Oh, I ain't got no problems

But, everybody got problems

It's a part of reality, problems

Let's hear it for problems
