[Verse 1]
C G Am G
I was once at the forefront of the movement
Em G C G
Teaching my brothers, teaching sisters of their pride
C G Am G
"Up in arms, up in arms, up in arms!" I said
Em D C G
Here comes the baddest man your eyes have ever graced
C G Am G
200 years ain't but two things have changed
Em G C G
It's safe to say I've had a price upon my head
C G Am G
Bobby Seale and I have made important progress
Em D C G
It's safe to say that my glory has fled
[Chorus]
C G Am G
"Up in arms, up in arms, up in arms!" I say
Em D C G
Here comes the baddest man your eyes have ever graced
C G Am G
"Up in arms, up in arms, up in arms!" I say
[Instrumental]
Em D C G
[Verse 2]
C G Am G
Politicians never see the brown boy starving
Em D C G
Like Malcolm X, and Martin King, Marcus Garvey
C G Am G
In '65 there was a climate for the riots
Em D C G
It's '89 and I'm seeing deja vu again
C G Am G
The police are always saying "why this senseless violence?"
Em D C G
But they'll light the spark and we'll be dry brush and the wind
[Chorus]
C G Am G
"Up in arms, up in arms, up in arms!" I said
Em D C G
Tell Bobby Hutton that policeman still gets paid
[Acoustic interlude]

[Verse 3]
C G Am G
The CIA has stumbled on a ghetto potion
Em G C G
It's in my lungs and it's numbed my black emotions
C G Am G
My lips are dry my skin is ashy, I need lotion
Em D C G
I've still got my gun but I ain't got sense of purpose now
C G Am G
I feel weak, I feel weak, I feel weaker than I have before
Em D C G
Ain't got an army marching in with me through Hoover's door
C G Am G
It's getting late I better find some place where I can sleep
Em D C G
My pillow debts I've left unpaid on these West Oakland streets
[Chorus]
C G Am G
"Up in arms, up in arms, up in arms!" I said
Em D C G
Here comes the baddest man your eyes have ever graced
C G Am G
"Up in arms, up in arms, up in arms!" I said
