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

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