| 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? |
