Intro:
|
Yeah positivity over comes negativity check it.
|
|
A gat don't make you a man cause a man made the gat
|
So stop with the black on black (x2)
|
|
Verse 1:
|
We got black on black
|
Black on crack
|
Knowledge of self is what the black people lack
|
Grew up in the projects with the welfare and the food stamps
|
Modern day concentration camps
|
Where we lost all our unity
|
Because the negativity pulls us down like gravity
|
Black people on eath others back
|
Little shortie sedated thinkin' the way out is by selling cracks
|
I seen black borthers cry like day by day the number multiply
|
And the devil don't give a damn long as a black man kills another black man
|
It makes his job more eaiser
|
As the tick goes with the tock he's just gettin' sleezier and sleezier
|
Here's a good example of yourself
|
Talkin' about a devil on a record they put you on the shelf
|
As long as you talk about "Yo I bust this nigga and I bust that nigga"
|
You grow bigger as a rap figure
|
But that's still black on black welcome back
|
It's time to graduate from that
|
|
Hook:
|
Change gon come change gon come time to free the dumb time to free the dumb
|
(x3)
|
Change gon come say what say what so get up out the slum
|
|
Verse 2:
|
Now let's deal on the real don't you set sick of this?
|
The way we hate eachother the shit's rediculous
|
It's time to move on to the next phase
|
Cause there's too many shorties gettin' boxed in the grave
|
Some think respect is an uzi or a tech
|
But when he steals your intellect it's like a rope around your neck
|
That's the 2000 tricknowledge
|
That's the shit you won't learn in college brother
|
You get to be strong you got to hold on
|
You got to know the ledge before you hit the edge
|
Time to get wise and civilize
|
Open up your eyes all three eyes and recognzie
|
What your doing all that bullshit you pursueing
|
Put your whole life on ruin
|
Let's kill the black on black vigga
|
Cause it only gets us locked up or in the box quicker
|
And that's ain't how you get the cheese
|
Cause now ya locked up or gunned down by your enemy
|
But I'm a deader that gat
|
Remember a gat don't make you a man cause a man made the gat
|
Word is born
|
|
Keep it true God keep it true (x8)
|
|
