| Talkin' to you like talkin' to myself
|
| 'Cause it ain’t no gettin' through to you, with all I swear
|
| And I’ve been thinkin' 'bout you since I came to jail
|
| I’ve tried to reach out to you, but it was to no avail
|
| Guess it ain’t nothin' else to do when we outgrew each other
|
| We hard down beefin' like we never knew each other
|
| Top off the coupe, no bikini, we came out life now
|
| I’m sippin' Bellini, livin' that lifestyle
|
| And that is that it is an organization dedicated to the use of violent means to
|
| attain its goals. |
| The question I have is, how true is this, and why do you
|
| think it persists in society?
|
| Poppin' pills, poppin' pistols, I put my mic down
|
| I almost lost my life that night, I was on a bloodhound
|
| They tryna tell us put the bikes up and the guns down
|
| X was tryna buy a bike and he got gunned down
|
| X was tryna change his life, but he got burned down
|
| X wasn’t ridin' with no pipe so he got gunned down
|
| Listen, do as I say, don’t do as I do
|
| Nine out of ten, it ain’t gon' end up lookin' good for you
|
| Have never at any time been guilty of initiating any aggressive acts of
|
| violence during the entire 33 years or more that the honorable Elijah Mohammed
|
| has been teaching us. |
| The—
|
| If I wasn’t rich, you wouldn’t be pullin' up to my funeral
|
| First they kissin' you, huggin' you, then they suin' you
|
| If it was me, it was you, I’m wonderin' what you would do
|
| I just pulled up on your mama, homie, she beautiful
|
| Yeah, gotta keep the strap, can’t let you, let y’all on me
|
| I got married to the game, she put these racks all on me
|
| Now I got diamonds on my ring, look like a matrimony
|
| First they screamin' my name, then file a lawsuit on me
|
| You would hate to see me reach my full potential
|
| You want me robbin', poppin' Mollies, poppin' pistols
|
| I’m goin' to college 'cause to the youngins I’m influential
|
| Thought it was Congress, they ain’t know this was a Presidential
|
| They ain’t know that I was intellectual
|
| You tryna change your life, but they won’t let you
|
| I know they know I’m special, why they playin' with me?
|
| You talkin' jewels, I’m droppin' jewels, you see the difference
|
| Coppin' jewels for your dawgs, they don’t appreciate it
|
| Everybody gon' say you fake when you make it
|
| Back of the Maybach with the tints so you don’t notice me
|
| When the money bring the fame, you can’t even roll in peace
|
| Guess all the pain that I went through had to be the recipe
|
| I stood tall through it all and brought out the best of me
|
| Ayo, dismiss all them charges, that ain’t my destiny
|
| Everything I said, I stood on it, I got integrity
|
| G.A., I put my hood on it, I bring the checks with me
|
| You need security by your grave so you can rest in peace
|
| Tired
|
| Charge of violence against us actually stems from the guilt complex that exists
|
| in the conscious and subconscious minds of most white people in this country.
|
| They know that they’ve been violent in their brutality against negros and they
|
| feel that some day the negro is going to wake up and try and do unto as them as
|
| they have done—do unto the whites as the whites have done unto us. |
