"LOCAL VACATION"
Viva Fidel

lyrics

Verse:
It's about time we accept that reality for what it is
Milwaukee is ground zero , yeah it's terror where we live
so don't profile yourself trying to fit into that stereotype
they said you better know that ledge , and don't believe that hype

This situation is confrontation , they tactics is intimidation
they scared as what?
with guns and tear gas and armored trucks
the military occupation , or your local police station
they dash cam or your cell phone, gone press record on'em
and exercise your rights for the rest of your life
this that survival talk Milwaukee walk with ya head up
citizens protesting finally getting fed up
no justice for the victims in a one sided system
listen get organized before the cries arrive, I'm sayin...
dont be waiting on no tragedy or brutality to build up your family audacity
and emergency plan

Verse 2:
We gone fight for the future so our babies make it to the top
we might not get there with them but hey, this is Hip Hop
cause when you step up in that cross fire , its more than a promo
Im that B-Boy stance in that Public Enemy logo
LL Vivafidel that shooting star on a sunny day
They all know me well from what I do, not what I say
We speaking from the heart
we aint reaching, chasing charts
your best list or your guest list or your wish-list is useless
I'm timeless, we can't let'em use our own kind as agents against us
giving trinkets , incentives
Like emcees think it's sweet till they meet me on a beat
and I'm setting slaves free
the revolutionary never cut with the scary
so you can keep your apologists and your little fairies
I'm a critical physiologist , naturally a novelist
motivational giant have you looking up to an optimist
long live Fidel talking that rebellion
let's link up after the session taking action is the essence, yeah
taking action is the essence.
