| It’s all gangstas gangstas at the top of the list
|
| So I play my own shit it goes something like this
|
| You can try to shoot a pistol but the wounds are superficial
|
| In comparison to heroine addiction when it hits you
|
| We’re proud to be Americans when arrogance is in you
|
| From the second the vagina spits you till you’re dyin' a cripple
|
| The crime is when we’re killin' innocent Iraqi children
|
| But what?
|
| We should turn to pacifism till crash into our buildings
|
| Till the gasses start spillin' over masses of civilians
|
| Tryin' to massacre a billion when they pack a transistor into your fillings
|
| When the governments the villains
|
| When they watch with hidden cameras that’s up inside your ceilings
|
| It’s cold at night
|
| Even in the summer I shake
|
| I crumble and break while dirty bombs thunder and quake
|
| I feel philosophical now, with all that Apathy knows
|
| Reality blows
|
| So I watch reality shows
|
| And feel blanketed when television circuits are bright
|
| I’m searchin' at night
|
| To channel surf until the perfect light
|
| Purchase a wife
|
| While fabricated idols gets activated
|
| Originality was assassinated
|
| I cried when it died
|
| Screamin' to help stop the bleedin'
|
| But nobody understood the strange language I was speakin'
|
| I’m over your head
|
| Oversize fitted are skull caps
|
| I radiate the way Aviator jackets and throwbacks
|
| I go back
|
| Before the Rittlin and the Prozac
|
| When rap was pro-black
|
| You suckers don’t know Ap
|
| I rip mics
|
| But only solve problems with fist fights
|
| Just because I’m smooth don’t mean that I treat a bitch right
|
| My insight extends from sunlight to the twilight
|
| But at night I’m ignorant and can’t get my mind right
|
| It’s all gangstas gangstas at the top of the list
|
| So I play my own shit it goes something like this
|
| Yo
|
| I ain’t tryin' to hear nothin' from you so save it
|
| No demo tapes I’m only listenin' to my favorites of classic rap greatest hits
|
| Why at one time was hip hop music so sacred
|
| Now they made it so easy, kids with home computers is makin' it
|
| I remember studio sessions were special
|
| DAT machines and reel to reels, no CD burners and no mass appeal
|
| Too much of somethin' is not good, on the contrary
|
| The rap telemarketers are chief executive officer
|
| Board room O.G.s in leather swivel chairs
|
| Laughin' at the shit we talkin', all them oversize clothes we wear
|
| But fuck it
|
| We sell murder
|
| And sell to herds of
|
| Children who hear the same shit that’s used to sell burgers
|
| But I ain’t sympathizin' and you heard it from the horse’s mouth
|
| Cause I’ll bust guns and turn happy homes to an orphan’s house
|
| One of the best in rap’s history to hold a mic
|
| And real Cuban who thinks the movie Scarface is over hyped
|
| So all you rappers scratch it off your favorite movie list
|
| Or find yourself bleeding next to a pile of empty uzi clips
|
| Stop idolizin'
|
| Get your own style
|
| I ain’t rockin' gold teeth cause they’ll provoke me to smile
|
| Though for a while
|
| I looked for hope but couldn’t see any
|
| And it didn’t look right like a mohawk on P. Diddy
|
| Get them some cheese cake to flaunt
|
| But I’d rather sell 3H to juniors and I ain’t talkin' about the restaurant
|
| It’s all gangstas gangstas at the top of the list
|
| So I play my own shit it goes something like this |
