| Feed the hungry, and house the poor
|
| We gotta save these babies and stop the wars.
|
| What is success if we can’t reach back
|
| And drop a jewel, in today’s schools, they don’t teach that
|
| Our ancestors were kings and queens, peep that
|
| So called educators need to learn to teach facts
|
| From the slum alleyways and the burned-down apartments
|
| To the drug infested buildings where the gun rounds be barking
|
| I see promise in the eyes of the babies
|
| Still the death toll and trauma, drive me crazy
|
| I watch how they’re making us, I spot where they’re taking us
|
| In every neighborhood, the block is hot and dangerous
|
| And what’s the point of a fist in the air
|
| If the children are starving, and the men don’t care
|
| But niggas dont care, and they don’t realize
|
| For us to have the chances we got, many have died
|
| And hear the cries of the innocent ones, the victims of guns
|
| And see how shits wickedly run
|
| Though they might hate my kind, they can’t incarcerate my mind
|
| I control my own fate, watch me break these vines
|
| Who else can enlighten the people and fight against evil
|
| Comes against me, and your plight will be legal
|
| You know they gonna start another war again
|
| We got a few good men, but there’s much more of them
|
| And I doubt we’ll see another Martin or Malcolm
|
| Cause the rims and the blimps, have distored the outcome
|
| And how come, we’d rather floss than get our souls right
|
| Still some stay up hustlin the whole night
|
| I Guess that’s why we got war in our own hoods
|
| Cause we can’t even save ourselves, for our own good
|
| And what don’t kill you can make you stronger
|
| Keep procrasinating, it’ll take you longer
|
| But in these trouble times, so many troubled minds
|
| I see them rocking us to sleep like a lullaby
|
| It’s easier for one, to give advice
|
| Than it is for a person to run one’s own life
|
| That’s why I can’t get caught up in all the hype
|
| I keep my soul tight and let these lines takes flight
|
| It’s easier for one, to give advice
|
| Than it is for a person to run one’s own life
|
| That’s why I can’t get caught up in all the hype
|
| I keep my soul tight and let these lines takes flight
|
| WE gotta stop the war. |
| Save the children. |
| Yea
|
| Feed the hundry, house the poor. |
| We gotta save
|
| The babies and stop the war. |
