| How many more gotta die
|
| How many more mothers gotta cry
|
| How many more locked away for life
|
| Just tryin' to get a piece of the pie
|
| The struggle continues, we hate each other
|
| And we don’t know the reason why, petty shit
|
| Crabs in the back room, holdin' each other back
|
| Until the day we die, uh
|
| I been droppin' knowledge like this for a long long time
|
| They don’t feel me
|
| When I strive to help the dumb deaf fly
|
| Long as I’m sittin' bullshit is just fine
|
| But when I speak on them, that’s when they draw the line
|
| Conspiracy is a theory, let’s promote the black-on-black
|
| Niggas don’t know how to act
|
| Let em' send each other back
|
| Too many shorties dyin' everyday
|
| Too many niggas bein' locked away
|
| Realize what’s really goin' on
|
| And how the black community got so torn
|
| How many more mothers gotta mourn
|
| He didn’t make eightten and he’s livin' in the lawn
|
| Somebody tell me what’s that all about
|
| There’s too many shorties checkin' out
|
| My nigga’s locked up for a lifetime
|
| Didn’t even get a chance to use his lifeline
|
| The game is setup for you to lose
|
| So watch the po-po cause like Tom they cruise
|
| Focus get cha' head straight, fix ya plate
|
| Learn from others and don’t make the same mistake
|
| Know who you are, where ya at, and where ya goin'
|
| The worst thing about life is not knowin'
|
| Knowledge break it down it’s know to ledge
|
| Cause if you don’t know the ledge you droppin' off edge
|
| The hood drama is horrific
|
| Enough ghetto tears for years that could fill up Pacific
|
| I’m not standin' here tryin' to be no preacher
|
| But each one, teach one, hope I reach ya
|
| See I’m here to enter brain then I entertain
|
| Those who lost one in the struggle, I feel ya pain
|
| Cause everyday somebody else is gettin' blown
|
| But we don’t moan until it hits close to home
|
| Hear me y’all cause the numbers seem to multiply
|
| And that’s the reason that I ask myself
|
| How many more gotta die
|
| How many more mothers gotta cry
|
| How many more locked away for life
|
| Just tryin' to get a piece of the pie
|
| The struggle continues, we hate each other
|
| And we don’t know the reason why, petty shit
|
| Crabs in the back room, holdin' each other back
|
| Until the day we die, uh |
