Officer XX
Written by: Das, Pandit, Savale, Tailor, Zaman
Canteen culture colouring the view
From Hendon to Eltham, not following the clue
Corruption instruction, the life blood of the blue
The whole of the barrel is rotten and not just a few
Evidence buried with a secret handshake
Investigating officers on the double X take
Lost records and notes, excuses half baked
Screwed up A4 and this is no mistake
Officer XX, it's time to liaise
Let me introduce you to the brand new krays
No mention of the gangster- 'Informer' is the phrase
No communication in the 'In' and 'Out' trays
MI5, them building up Combat 18?
Nazi turnouts and the BNP in between?
Running drugs for money for the loyalists?
Macpherson, how come you missed the whole a this?
Defective constable, what you gonna say?
Suspending our belief and still on full pay
Chief Condon is safe, what did you expect?
Who's up next?
Calling Officer XX!
Spindoctors and editors engaged in a pact
Information leaked out to cover up the facts
Daily slackmail onto a nice little earner
While another thousand cases still on the back burner
Zero tolerance for Jack the Home Sec
Running for cover 'cause him know we're after him neck
Him a huff and him a puff
Inna de name a de law
When it come to the guilty him a man of Straw
This shameful spectacle we can see clearly
Conspiracy in practice
Now not in theory
Heard all of de report and looked over the whole a de text
Time to step forward now Officer XX
Defective constable, what you gonna say?
Suspending our belief and still on full pay
Chief Condon is safe, what did you expect?
Who's up next?
Calling Officer XX!

Committed to Life
Written by: P. Andrade, A. Shakur, Das, Pandit, Savale, Tailor, Zaman
I'll be honest with you:
I hate war in all it's forms-
Physical, Psychological, Spiritual... Emotional... Environmental
I hate war...
And I hate having to struggle - I honestly do
because I wish I had been into a world where it was
unnecessary.
This context of struggle and being a warrior and being a
struggler
has been forced on me by oppression.
Otherwise I would be a sculptor, or a gardener,
carpenter - you know, I would be free to be so much more...
I guess part of me or a part of who I am, a part of what I do
is being a warrior - a reluctant warrior, a reluctant struggler
But... I do it because I'm committed to life
We can't avoid it, we can't run away from it
Because to do that is to be... cowardice-
to do that is to be subservient... to devils, subservient to
evil and so that the only way to live on this planet
With any human dignity at the moment is to struggle.
