about

This track was singled out by RapReviews.com in their review of Prisoners of War: "the stand-out being the short and to-the-point 'Guerrilla Warfare,' which name-checks revolutionaries worldwide after this concise yet clear mission statement."

lyrics

Yea.
Straight out of the jungles.
You know what I mean?
Yea.
We're going to do one for the people's armies of the world.
Those who died in the struggle.
Those who fought with the preferred method of combat for the people.
Yea. Guerrilla war.
Guerrilla war.

Verse 1:

Guerrilla war, hand to hand leave them fearing the fist
Uppercut to the jaw of imperialists, They're wary of this
Movement and its seriousness
My theory is this, Karl Marx and Che Guevara
Combined and applied in these days of terror
Strike like blazing arrows from the last natives fighting
Nepalese people's army, right in the front lines
The Black Panthers like Fred Hampton
Zapatistas and Shining Path in Peru
Yo I dedicate my rapping to you
The true freedom fighters
Lead a life dedicated to liberation with a nation
Facing war and imperial invasion
The Mau Mau, Puerto Rican independistas
Who fought for their cause and got thrown behind bars
The Sandinistas and the Tupac Amaru
And everyone who died for a better tomorrow

Yea, dedicated to the people's armies.
You know what I mean?
Past, present and future.
