| Now is the time…
|
| C’mon y’all
|
| Stand tall, live your life to the limit
|
| Cause haterism seem like a fucking epidemic
|
| And look at Ice Cube, I ain’t no gimmick
|
| I’m straight from the hood, I got to represent it
|
| Now — every day I think about my color
|
| And all the crazy shit we do to one another
|
| I ain’t your blood brother, but I’m your cuz brother
|
| Let’s take it back to the love and how it was brother
|
| If not, we gon' pull these triggers
|
| Show the world we deserve to be called niggas
|
| I make a fuck-up, like Don Imus
|
| Bow on his knees, and call me yo' highness
|
| You can too, you got the power to
|
| Don’t let this motherfuckin system devour you
|
| I won’t pretend, or act like I’m knowin you
|
| But check it out I understand what you goin through
|
| But remember, brothers and sisters
|
| You can still stand tall
|
| Just be thankful…
|
| For what you got
|
| I know what y’all motherfuckers thinking, heh heh
|
| Here comes another rapper with a song about hope
|
| All you wanna hear is a song about dope
|
| And how a nigga got mo' money than the Pope
|
| But he’ll never tell you when he drop the soap
|
| No~! |
| Ice Cube is here to drop you a note
|
| Cause some of our folk used to hang from ropes
|
| And some of our people used to hang from trees
|
| Now the only thing hangin muh’fucker is DEEZ
|
| So, get your mind right, and I’mma rhyme right
|
| Fuck the limelight, and a blind dyke
|
| I’m the sunlight, too bright to look
|
| When it’s all said and done I should write the book
|
| You too cool for school, too old to know?
|
| Get your ass off the grassroots and let 'em grow
|
| I understand, it ain’t no love lost
|
| But little kids, it ain’t no Santa Claus
|
| Yeah, f’real
|
| I was born in the mud but I came out clean
|
| That’s 'til the government tried to intervene
|
| Tried to lock me up when I was only 19
|
| Don’t never ever ever let 'em kill your dream
|
| I make shit raw that piss off the law
|
| If you want some fake shit turn this off
|
| If you want some realness I know you can feel this
|
| Maybe we can heal this just like an illness
|
| Black on black, I got’cho back
|
| People don’t think that we know how to act
|
| Just because our neighborhood is filled with crack
|
| And the CIA, won’t take it back
|
| Never on top, always on the bottom
|
| Never put your trust in Hillary Rodham
|
| Cause I can tell you now it’s gon' turn out rotten
|
| Keep on pushin, get 'em 'til we got 'em
|
| Stand up, f’real…
|
| Raise your hand if you sick of this bullshit
|
| Heh, in the belly of the evil empire |
