Ballot Or The Bullet lyrics

Give me liberty or give me death

No truer words have ever been said

Well are you prepared for your very last breath?

Don't you dare start what you cannot finish

So when we face, face the adversary

No longer are we the minority

And when history repeats her hour

The pendulum will swing, swing into power

Though not in vain like our forefathers

Freedom, never had no room for cowards

For in the end, there will be equality

By any means necessary

The ballot or the bullet

The choice is up to you

The ballot or the bullet

Tell me what you gonna do

The sword or the pen

Can be held by the same hand

What's it gonna take to liberate?

An emancipation, a false proclamation?

All these token words that you legislate

Sound a little bit absurd. Hey! And a little too late

When a house is divided, it just will not stand

Once it's decided, a line drawn in the sand

Ah! The ballot or the bullet

The choice is up to you

The ballot or the bullet

Tell me what you gonna do

The sword or the pen

Can be held by the same hand

[Guitar Solo]

The ballot or the bullet

The choice is up to you

The ballot or the bullet

Tell me what you gonna do

The ballot or the bullet

The choice is up to you

The ballot or the bullet

Tell me what you gonna do

The sword or the pen can be

The sword or the pen can be

The sword or the pen can be

The sword or the pen can be

The sword or the pen can be

held, held by the same hand!
