What's Wrong |
Yo, I can see the main problem, G |
Your minority remains in poverty |
Robberies for commodities |
And the majority prays, the same camaraderie |
In one hand, it’s a pot of gold |
In the other hand, it makes cancer seem like the common cold |
The common goal is it curses you and leaves you with wicked ways |
Kill a whole neighborhood off, quick as AIDS |
One touch’ll feel better than drugs |
You’re hooked now, it’s never enough |
Some say it feels better than love |
Every sentence, protocol |
Number one cause overall |
Make them go to war quick for them, broads strip for them |
Shooters fours blow for 'em, street corners pitch for 'em |
Poor folk want 'em so the rich flaunt 'em |
Novus Ordo Seclorum |
E Pluribus Unum |
Tell me what’s wrong |
Talkin' 'bout M-O-N-E-Y |
What’s wrong |
People will steal or lie, to get paid |
Tell me what’s wrong |
Talkin' 'bout M-O-N-E-Y |
What’s wrong |
People will kill or die, to get paid |
Ain’t nothin' deeper than the root of evil |
It’s too cerebral, look what it do to people |
Turn they’re heart cold, even their soul with no feelins |
The ghetto m-o, no money, mo' killin' |
It’s no chillin', it leaves the place blazin' |
Ain’t no such thing as a safe haven |
How can the youth survive in a world we made? |
The future dies at an early age |
We went from pride and honor to divide and conquer |
Killin' ourselves, that ain’t the final offer |
That’s why usually, when somebody die, it’s karma |
8 million stories, advertised by a violent author |
Grindin' harder to supply the corner |
While the government’s the private sponsor |
From the belly of the beast, from 25 to life inside the monster |
Money, the co-defendant, the silent partner |
We saggin' on the streets of New York, to Californ' |
But it seems like we got our swagger wrong |
Should have tried to walk with Farrakhan |
Now it’s welcome to the rise and fall of Babylon |
It’s genocidal, check Revelations in your Bible |
Before the last days, expect a drastic change |
In America, the home of the brave |
To America, the home of the grave |
Hell is waitin', no survival |
Plus the ozone hole is torn, the globe is warm |
From man-made products goin' to the moon on the norm |
Cigars and mother nature unfold a storm |
The greedy keep drainin' the Earth for jewels and fuel |
Keep searchin' 'til you crack the Earth in two |
Never personal, it’s always business |
The same reason they knocked down the World Trade Centers |
