  I Find It Hard To Say
  (Rebel)
  
  "...I've written it about the whole Amadou Diallo situation...
  
  ...It was such a hot time in the city at that point,
  I was afraid that if I
  put the record out,
  people would Misunderstand what I meant by 'Rebel'
  and they just take it to the streets...
  
  Ok, yeah, alright...
  
  I find it hard to say, that everything is alright
  Don't look at me that way, like everything is alright
  
  Cuz mine own eyes can see, through all your false pretenses
  But what you fail to see, is all the consequences
  
  You think our lives are cheap, and easy to be wasted
  As history repeats, so foul you can taste it
  
  And while the people sleep, too comfortable to face it
  His life [still] incomplete, and nothing can replace it
  
  And while the people sleep, too comfortable to face it
  Your lives so incomplete, and nothing can replace it
  
  Fret not thyself I say, against these laws of man [Babylin]
  Cuz like the Bible says, His blood is on their hands
  
  And what I gotta say, and what I gotta say, is rebel
  
  While today is still today, choose well
  
  And what I gotta say, is rebel, it can't go down this way
  
  Choose well, choose well, choose well...
  ...choose well, choose well, choose well
  
  And while the people sleep, too comfortable to face it
  Your lives are so incomplete,
  And nothing, and no one, can replace it
  
  No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
  
  And what I gotta say, and what I gotta say
  And what I gotta say, and what I gotta say
  
  And what I gotta say, and what I gotta say
  And what I gotta say, and what I gotta say
  
  Is rebel... rebel, rebel, rebel, rebel, rebel, rebel
  Rebel, rebel, rebel, rebel, rebel
  
  Repent, the day is far too spent, rebel... rebel!
  
  Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up,
  Wake up, wake up, wake up...
  Wake up and rebel
  
  We must destroy in order to rebuild
  
  Wake up, you might as well
  
  Oh are you... oh are you satisfied
  Oh are you satisfied
  
  Rebel... ohhh rebel
  
  Why don't you rebel, why don't you rebel?
  
  Why don't you rebel?
  
  I'm fading myself down now..."
