[00:07.98]You explained it to me I must admit
[00:09.99]But just for the record you were talkin' shit
[00:12.27]Y'all rap about no knock bein' legislated
[00:14.46]For the people you've always hated
[00:16.29]In this hell hole you, we, call home
[00:20.61]No knock, the man will say
[00:22.32]To keep that man from beating his wife
[00:24.63]No knock, the man will say
[00:26.31]To protect people from themselves
[00:28.44]No knockin', head-rockin', inter-shockin'
[00:31.56]Shootin', cussin', killin', cryin', lyin'
[00:34.14]And bein' white
[00:35.25]No knock
[00:36.30]No knocked on my brother Fred Hampton
[00:38.13]Bullet holes all over the place
[00:40.20]No knocked on my brother Michael Harris
[00:42.21]And jammed a shotgun against his skull
[00:44.19]For my protection?
[00:45.42]Who's gonna protect me from you?
[00:47.10]The likes of you?
[00:48.18]The nerve of you?
[00:51.39]Your tomato face deadpan
[00:53.07]Your dead hands ending another freedom fan
[00:55.59]No knockin', head rockin', inter-shockin'
[00:58.62]Shootin', cussin', killin', cryin', lyin'
[01:01.17]And bein' white
[01:02.97]But if you're wise, no knocker
[01:04.89]You'll tell your no-knockin' lackeys
[01:07.17]Ha!
[01:07.65]No knock on my brother's head
[01:09.63]No knock on my sister's head
[01:11.61]No knock on my brother's head
[01:13.56]No knock on my sister's head
[01:15.48]And double lock your door
[01:17.22]Because soon someone may be no-knockin'
[01:19.68]Ha, ha!
[01:21.30]For you
[01:22.98](No knock: To be slipped into John Mitchell's suggestion box.)

You explained it to me I must admit

No knock, the man will say

No knockin', head-rockin', inter-shockin'
Shootin', cussin', killin', cryin', lyin'

No knock
No knocked on my brother Fred Hampton
Bullet holes all over the place
No knocked on my brother Michael Harris
