[Harry Allen]
  We're coming to you live from the Scottish Right Temple
  Near the intersection of Crenshaw and Wiltshire
  Where, as you can see in the background
  Military personnel are mobilized and waiting orders
  
  Despite the quiet and the deceptive calm, tension is still
  thick in the air after last night's concert and rebellion
  
  The incident was allegedly sparked by police officers trying
  to shut down a reportedly peaceful concert by hip hop artists
  Dilated People's
  
  We'll keep you updated with any new developments. For Triclops
  Media Watch, this is Harry Allen, hip hop activist and media assassin
  
  And now, Proper Propaganda..
  
  [Begin Song]
  
  Watch it. Yes. [Indistinct shout-outs]
  
  [Verse 1]
  We handle it, these brothers are fabulous
  Dilated's showing you the rhyme travelin'
  Words spitoon from sunlight to moon
  Bustin' on stage like gunfights in saloons
  Boom, my mic back, you like that?
  Journalists? We're journalists too, we could strike back
  Hardcore reporters with orders from headquarters
  Behind enemy lines, sidestepping the borders
  Repressed caps, we bring it to you as it happens
  The streets love my crew from music to rappin
  Street commander slash beat expander
  Yeah, they fight the slander with the proper propaganda
  What's happenin'? You got a question? Then ask it
  The news is just a TV show, get past it
  And this, from a quiet wartime journalist
  Headlines, wake up, refuse and resist
  
  Resist, like this, like this
  Like thi-thi-thi-thi-thi-thi-thi-this, y'all
  
  [Chorus]
  We kick finance action, and scores of sports
  Politics, new fashion and war reports
  Entertainment, when we come to perform
  Watch, the illest weatherman in the biz with the storm watch
  Triclops Media, record, tape and TV, Net radio, CD or DVD
  Our sights (like rhymes on paper time)
  This is why Baboo is scratching and keeping time
  
  [Scratching]
  
  [Verse 2]
  The pen is mighter than the sword
  Cause the pen gives the word sending swords to war
  They twisted it when he pulled Mao Tse-tung
  They said political power comes from the barrel of a gun
  The officer meets his fate, .44 by .38
  It was a dirty deed, but that don't mean a dirty case
  Witnesses against the state are shushed
  Facts overlooked so the judge can throw the book
  Perhaps for politicians with something to prove
  In the city where they blew the roof off and move
  
  Yo, questions when answered leads to more questions
  Why it takes months to deliver a confession?
  The principles are the same even without the name
  But I still say M-U-M-I-A
  
  I have to fight, it could easily be me
  But just being the thinker than speakin it freely
  Although I use my brain before using a fist
  Don't push it, wake up, refuse and resist
  
  [Scratching]
  [Chorus]
