| Back at it again as if it hadn’t have been
|
| That of a trend for the atom in men to split
|
| Yeah I got my habits to kick
|
| But I gather my grip adamant
|
| For why would you ever fathom to quit
|
| Battling this logic twisted
|
| Head nodding to misogynistic tones
|
| Robbing our blocks of gifted kids quick to sit at home
|
| With fitted lids that don’t fit they dome
|
| They outfitted in chrome
|
| Get the rims the new key-less features
|
| The dogs with they muzzles off
|
| And I don’t know if it’s a sin to wear two Jesus pieces
|
| But I know that we been double-crossed
|
| How you full grown talking how you squeezing pieces
|
| When you that you would shy away
|
| From the truth you just an old man in a booth
|
| Its 9 youth that will die today
|
| I rhyme this way this way for the left for dead
|
| Who copy the big screen and get dressed in lead
|
| Shot when she was 16 one in the chest two in the head
|
| It’s a sick dream for us to want to rest instead
|
| Got to get it right
|
| Got to get it right
|
| Got to get it right
|
| I’m sorry sista
|
| Got to get it right
|
| Got to get it right
|
| Got to get it right
|
| I’m growing up
|
| Hurt her through the rhyme
|
| Skirt it through designer fashion
|
| Deferred her dreams to find her murdered
|
| Be it crime of passion
|
| Refer to scenes behind the words
|
| To see what finally happened
|
| Turned to mindless action
|
| Time to redefine whats masculine
|
| Are we to find the mask of men
|
| Speechless and rendered silent
|
| Beaten minds, the acts of kin
|
| Repeatin gender violence
|
| We see the signs and we deny any involvement
|
| Like the 38 describes it ain’t a 38 revolver
|
| It’s a dirty way to solve the tiny problem of conviction
|
| To hurry and tape the mouths of anybody trying to listen
|
| Cus surly they would respond to the bodies on television
|
| These oddities selling visions of sodomy telling children
|
| That these women are all objects an inanimate prop
|
| It don’t help me to see the problem
|
| And not demand it to stop
|
| I abandon the flock
|
| Who thinks Hip-Hop is bigger then humanity
|
| Stop and think if Pac or Biggie’s type of vanity
|
| Got your family caught in crisis
|
| The man on T.V. who taught your kids what life is
|
| Or what a wife is, what a gun and a knife is
|
| They teach you how to fight
|
| But come on how do we fight this?
|
| Got to get it right
|
| Got to get it right
|
| Got to get it right
|
| Im sorry sista
|
| Got to get it right
|
| Got to get it right
|
| Got to get it right
|
| Im growing up |
