Beware |
Yeah, HUT HUT HUT HUT! |
I know we ain’t gettin soft, HUT HUT HUT HUT! |
I know we ain’t gettin soft, listen |
FIYAH! |
When you advertise in New York |
You best to beware, oh yes |
When you advertise in New York, you best to beware |
Cause the bling bling, and de sex t’ing |
Dem no care, oh no, you best to beware |
Oh no, yo you best to beware, oh no noooo |
This is how they do it kid, I thought you knew it kid |
This is how they set us up listen I can prove it kid |
Many don’t understand, you see it’s all a plan |
To keep the black man a child like he’s Peter Pan |
You’ll never see a man, a real black man |
Until you see a man with control of his hands |
And to control your hands means you control your mind |
And to control your mind means you ain’t commitin crimes |
Man you smarter than that, goin to prison is whack |
Even the people in prison know I’m spittin the facts |
I’m gettin open, open the class up |
Don’t smoke crack it’ll tear yo' ass up |
Listen! |
We got our own problems here in the States |
So you know I’m not pointin the finger BUT WAIT |
This is somethin y’all got to see |
Even the UN knows violence begins with poverty |
When you ain’t got no money, it’s quicker to kill |
It’s human nature that’s way the jails are filled |
And the MILITARY? |
From the time you sign up |
To kill your neighbor man it’s a SIN already |
And SIN meaning Selfish Inconsiderate Needs |
Gimme what I want! |
I don’t care who bleeds |
These days people ready to steal and rob |
All in the name of I’m DOING MY JOB~! |
But what about doing your work, what’s your purpose? |
No human being is worthless |
Think about this before you pull the trigger |
And you call your sister a bitch and your brother a — WHOA |
Knowledge Reigns Supreme again, ignorance is weakenin |
Truth is what I’m speakin when I’m reachin and teachin my friends |
Life is more than just cars and lust |
Unity is a must, we need to build trust |
Open up your mind to this, raisin up your consciousness |
Whether you a pessimist, strategist or optimist |
My synopsis is knowledge ain’t where college is |
Knowledge is for leaders and wisdom is for philosophers |
Now I’m hearin London gettin violence like Brooklyn was |
Brothers gettin shot just for lookin cuz? |
I thought we deaded that, we need to be headed back |
Yo France, you need to be coverin your brother’s back |
Bring the lovin back, cause the government don’t love you |
They into murder, money, and stayin above you |
They want you all in prison |
So before you kill your sister or brother stop and listen |
