M-1 Talks New Dead Prez Album and Gun Control: ‘We Do Have A Right to Protect Ourselves’

M-1 Talks New Dead Prez Album and Gun Control: ‘We Do Have A Right to Protect Ourselves’



"You brought up “Dirty White Girl,” which has become the most controversial track on the album, and not just because it gives a winking nod to synth-new-wave club music. There’s a line that goes, “Lady liberty wanna get with me, but that bitch ain’t never mean shit to me…” And you use phrases like jungle fever, but in a nod to the evils of cocaine, cigarettes, and even drinking milk. What inspired you to write this song and did you know it would cause such uproar?"



"One thing that’s not new to dead prez is expressing our consciousness about the environment we live in. We’ve always talked about the traps that we face everyday. We’ve made songs like “Window To My Soul” about addiction. Me and stic have talked about our own health battles and challenges. We’ve seen family members go through [substance abuse]. We figure out ways to make it a priority in our community. I commend my partner stic because he has taken that into a specialized campaign into itself. Really, the manifesto behind what created “Dirty White Girl” is our every day lives. We talk about how long it’s been since stic smoked weed or how long it’s been since we’ve both become vegans. A song like that makes sense."

Download (Expand Beyond) (Bonus Track) - Dead Prez





Where there's health neglect there's no self-respect
But what else you expect? Look how they dealt the deck
We inherited stress, had to bury our best
Martin, Malcolm X, bullet holes in they chest
We adapt to the struggle, only way we survive
Eating scraps from the table but it kept us alive
Making something from nothing, still we hope for the best
Making miracles happen, daily coping with less

Scar strangle ban 'em
Scar strangle ban 'em
Scar strangle ban 'em

Raised in the ghetto, singing songs -- called survival
But eating soul food to have you dead on arrival
Hand on the rifle, other hand on the bible
Strong as an ox but look at what you put inside you
We resemble your things, do the silliest things
No better than you better cause that's what experience brings
Break out of jail but can you break out a Sickle-cell?
We say we living well, but we living in hell

We already been to the other side
We ain't turning back, now we choose a lie
To really get by this, and that ain't right
We feel it inside, it's time to fight

We already been to the other side
We ain't turning back, now we choose a lie
To really get by this, and that ain't right
We feel it inside, it's time to fight

We glued to the TV screen commercials in-between
Crack Donald's, Murder King
What happened to eat your greens?
Eatin' some or anything, abusing Mary Jane
Chinese chicken wings, everyday hood thing
5 hour energy, red bull and Hennessy
Head bobbin bot the organs full of toxicity
Pack a cool menthol, nicotine pit-fall
They have the nerve to put cool on the pack so they can trick y'all
Slave to the Dutch master, colon cancer victim
Tell you want a package but we still blame the system
No squares in my circle, screw all that sippin' purple
I'm tryina live to my potential, age is just a number
A G preserve his temple, a G control his temper
No discipline, you slippin', no toxins in my kitchen
Slavery is over cousin, but then at lunch it wasn't
If food is the last plantation then I'm Harriet Tubman
Advocating colonics, saving my lungs from chronic
But you can't free a slave unless he knows he's in bondage
(You wanna get freaky? Let's go)
You can't free a slave unless he knows he's in bondage
