Should I do what they gave me, took it and never admit
|
I invented the flow, yup, they different between us
|
You get it and come, I get it and go
|
Different strokes, for different folks, shit I ain't tryin'
|
To come up short, let on, let it all
|
Or will it just blow, like it did to coke
|
Not me, some of us hood rich, but 90 percent of us niggaz is broke
|
The government, shit they make us sniff' coke
|
Instead of embracin' us, fuck savin' us, They give us the rope
|
I'm hearin' ya guns in ya hood, what the fuck you think
|
How can one another cope, you just throw us into so we go at each others throats
|
Just go, the statistics, every three hours
|
A brother is smoked, a baby is killed, a sister is raped
|
Somebody mother, strangled under that dope
|
Just get up and say, here, get up and pray
|
Tomorrow and promise, so I live for the day, this is hip hop
|
I need all, but tell ya rappers to come back, yea
|
We work too hard, to give us away, a victim of age
|
I can't go out, like Eazy-E, a victim of AIDS
|
Being black is a crime, I done worked, a nine to five
|
For three years, and they still, ain't give me a raise
|
Shit give me a gauge, fuck a mininum wage
|
Get in a helicopter, look down, shit we live in a maze
|
The day go fast, when ya broke, but it seems like
|
The minute you payed, the sun, never set
|
I don't sleep, cuz sleep is the cousin of death
|
So I wake up, my brother, my cousins, and uncle's that's def, yes
|

|
After the war, there's casualties, I studied the art
|
They give us roaches and batteries, and blow you apart
|
Play dumb, procrastinate, they assassinate those that are smart
|
Be brave, in the Wizard of Oz, though you are heart, get some courage
|
To get you the light, walk slow in the dark, don't get discouraged
|
I'm on the one way trip to heaven, forget the luggage
|
Just in pain, it's making me weak, it's making me sluggish
|
Besides weed, clogging up my THC
|
In my hood, everybody got a PHD
|
I count on my fingers, how many niggaz got a GED
|
My life is worth more, than TV, and the DVD
|
Fuck a CD, I wanna be free, money for me
|
I'm like a cat, caught in the tree, ok, I need help
|
Why do I do for others, when I know, I should do for myself
|
Wher your friends when you need them,, they collapse
|
Under the real woods, in me, if I need, I don't ask shit
|
I chuckled, pool game, goodie mob, goodie L
|
Clark Kent, frankly, GNC, respect yes
|
My brother Kenny, I will pay you back for every penny
|
I got the many mentions, it's yours, nigga the key to the drawers
|
So I work out, try to keep my endurance
|
We lips, looked out, when that nigga needed insurance
|
Lift it, G to E-N-T, Miss Pam, for feedin missy
|
I can cut down, for going to college, believing in me
|
I love you girl, you mean the world to me
