You know sometimes I sit at home, you know,
|
and I watch T.V. and I wonder what it would be like
|
to live someplace like, you know, the Cosby show,
|
Ozzie and Harriet, you know, where
|
cops come and got your cat outta the tree
|
all your friends died of old age,
|
But you see, I live in South Central Los Angeles and unfortunately...
|
SHIT AIN'T LIKE THAT! IT'S REAL FUCKED UP!
|
|
Goddamn what a brotha gotta do
|
to get a message through
|
to the red, white and blue?
|
What I gotta die
|
before you realize
|
I was a brotha with open eyes?
|
The world's insane
|
while you drink champagne
|
and I'm livin' in black rain.
|
You try to ban the A.K.,
|
I got ten of 'em stashed
|
with a case of hand grenades.
|
|
Tell us what to do... Fuck you!
|
Tell us what to do... Fuck you!
|
Tell us what to do... Fuck you!
|
Tell us what to do... Fuck you!
|
|
You know what you'd do
|
if a kid got killed on the way to school
|
or a cop shot your kid in the backyard.
|
Shit would hit the fan, muthafucka
|
and it would hit real hard.
|
I hear it every night, another gunfight,
|
the tension mounts,
|
on with the Body Count.
|
|
Yo, Beatmaster "V", take these muthafuckas
|
to South Central.
|
|
Ha ha.
|
Yeah
|
Fuck that.
|
|
I hear it every night,
|
another gunfight,
|
the tension mounts,
|
on with the Body Count.
|
|
Last weekend thirty-seven kids killed in gang warfare,
|
in my backyard.
|
|
No!
|
No!
|
No!
|
|
Yo, Ernie C., take these muthafuckas home.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Yeah, we in the house, Body Count fools, 1991 muthafuckas.
|
|
I hear it every night,
|
another gunfight,
|
the tension mounts,
|
|
on with the Body Count.
|
|
Goddamn what a brotha gotta do
|
to get a message through
|
to the red, white and you?
|
What I gotta die before you realize
|
I was a nigga with open eyes?
|
The world's insane
|
while you drink champagne
|
and I'm livin' in black rain,
|
don't you hear the guns
|
you stupid, dumb, dick suckin', bum politicians.
|
|
Tell us what to do... Fuck you!
|
Tell us what to do... Fuck you!
|
The tension mounts...
