| They don’t want me to say something
|
| Radio is scared I’mma get on and say something
|
| They don’t want me to say something
|
| Turn this mic off they don’t want me to say something
|
| They don’t want me to say something
|
| Radio is scared I’mma get on and say something
|
| They don’t want me to say something
|
| Turn this mic off…
|
| Like Heaven and Hell is here or I meet with a god
|
| Or George Bush is the devil or breathin' is hard
|
| Shit
|
| And death might be the greatest thing to happen
|
| But I’m patient they don’t want me to say it
|
| And radio just won’t play nothin' with a message
|
| Cause the powers that be don’t want our people affected
|
| They don’t want us inspired so they made Public Enemy private
|
| They made Brand Nubian old
|
| They took De La from the Soul
|
| They took the soul from the music we own
|
| Huh?
|
| And you think it’s a coinkidink that ever year we losin' a singer
|
| They don’t think we think
|
| But we don’t, they right
|
| I’m like a deaf composer, a blind playwright
|
| They don’t want me to say something
|
| If you holdin' a hammer than spray somethin'
|
| Can I talk to y’all?
|
| Better yet, can I walk with y’all?
|
| Even better can I march with y’all?
|
| Or can I just say something?
|
| Huh
|
| Can I talk to y’all?
|
| Better yet, can I walk with y’all?
|
| Even better can I march with y’all?
|
| Or can I just say something?
|
| Nah
|
| Fuck it, I ain’t sayin' shit
|
| I ain’t talkin' 'bout the issues, the issues don’t exist
|
| Ain’t no guns in the hood, education is the best
|
| We brought coke over to sell, I ain’t upset
|
| We get time for it, we sell it, we cook it
|
| We hate hearin' speeches, we waitin' for the hook, right?
|
| They don’t want me to say something in the booth like, «Should I say something?»
|
| Nah, water it down
|
| Put a beat on it
|
| Don’t speak on it
|
| Get T-Pain on it
|
| Or Throw Some D’s on it
|
| Or get Akon
|
| I make songs for entertainment
|
| But I keep tryin' to change shit
|
| I come from a country where the thieves had to colonize
|
| And upgrade the slaves to a 3/5th compromise
|
| Wonder why the black man ain’t hole
|
| The same reason rappers can’t go gold
|
| Won’t nobody say nothin'
|
| Can I talk to y’all?
|
| Better yet, can I walk with y’all?
|
| Even better can I march with y’all?
|
| Or can I just say something?
|
| Huh
|
| Can I talk to y’all?
|
| Better yet, can I walk with y’all?
|
| Even better can I march with y’all?
|
| Or can I just say something?
|
| I talk to the teachers in the class they told me
|
| 50% of the kids won’t pass like Kobe
|
| But if they tell the principle, the outcome is minimal
|
| You do the math and show me
|
| «And what can you do about it Sha?
|
| Give us computers? |
| Or come talk to us in the auditorium, straight borin' 'em?»
|
| Little girls switch they hips often
|
| Suckin' dicks off, singin' 'bout lip gloss
|
| And little dudes throwin' sets up
|
| And askin' me, «How can your rap words affect us?»
|
| And I don’t even got an answer for 'em
|
| Say somethin' on record, I can’t chance it on 'em
|
| I gotta tell 'em «Keep doin' what ya doin'.»
|
| I did it, I boosted, I copped it, I moved it, I’m stupid, I’m sorry
|
| I know I’m driftin'
|
| But I ain’t know if you was still listenin'
|
| They said that I should, do poetry so they notice me
|
| Get a chick to sing while I’m spittin', sorta like Floetry
|
| «Conscious rap be annoyin' me.»
|
| That’s what my man said
|
| «I'm glad it’s damn dead.»
|
| I used to fiend for a deal
|
| I used to dream of Lauryn Hill
|
| Cause she said somethin' that people wanted to hear
|
| But she got sad and cut off all of her hair
|
| And she had mine but no one elses ears
|
| Was there when she would say shit
|
| Let’s face it
|
| Eminem never has to fuckin' hold his tongue
|
| So I can speak on how we dyin', I’m the chosen one
|
| Until these flows are done
|
| Until this blood leaves from me I’m spittin' to these dummies
|
| Not suppose to say it, it’s a secret
|
| Like down low brothers that got wives they sleep with
|
| And then hit clubs with thug dudes and creep quick
|
| And then tell you they ain’t gay
|
| Well hey hey hey
|
| They call me «an asshole»
|
| Matter of fact they won’t think that’s a metaphor
|
| I take that back
|
| I’m losin' my fans, but I won’t stop though
|
| This is my plan, dawg I’m gettin' hot yo
|
| All I wanna do is just simple bounce songs
|
| If I say somethin' with Flex drop a bomb?
|
| If I say somethin' with Flex drop a bomb?
|
| Huh? |
