| War/Peace, c’mon Nappy
|
| Love/Lust, now say it, Roots
|
| I got a telegram from a pelican
|
| Said in the clouds last night she got higher then she’s ever been
|
| Seen shuttles and huddles, hard rocks and war bombs
|
| In real life our words in distorted sound
|
| Coke and Hen' mix, guitar Jimi Hendrix
|
| Smokes and blunts but this is my experience
|
| The world’s corrupt, how can I defend it?
|
| Need more love, that’s why I have to send it
|
| Know what it is when you really tryin to be somethin
|
| But in your minds you really can’t find nothin
|
| But am I wrong if a preacher can’t reach me?
|
| Or am I dumb cause a teacher can’t teach me?
|
| I’m too black for this world here to bleach me
|
| I’m too much hell for this heaven here to keep me
|
| But you can beat me, slander me, cancel me
|
| But see I’m real so you still gotta answer me
|
| The thought of all destruction, man ain’t nothin gonna last
|
| I feel the pain and sufferin, the system done collapsed
|
| Wood is burnin, big construction’s burnin, holdin on a pass
|
| Shattered glass the aftermath, tragic death is on the trail
|
| Empty shells, the ghetto’s extinct, there’s heaven and there’s hell
|
| Burnin souls, the opposite of peace for 7 million years
|
| Started livin well, self-esteem, been lovin with myself
|
| It’s time for revolution, get yo' gauge and bullets off the shelf
|
| Because it’s war
|
| Because the end is almost here but I done been here before
|
| So I haven’t any fear for I trust in the Lord
|
| When I die nobody cry, nobody shed not a tear
|
| In the middle of the floor pour out your liquor and your beer
|
| I’m still witcha, you can hear me loud and clearly
|
| When I’m howlin at the moon (whoooooo)
|
| Mama heard me freestylin in the womb
|
| Heard me battlin the beat of her heart when it boom
|
| I’m born again, I’m free! |
| I’m Nappy to my Roots!
|
| Do it, c’mon, c’mon, yeah!
|
| Do it, c’mon, c’mon, yeah!
|
| Do it, c’mon, c’mon, yeah!
|
| Do it, do it, do it, do it!
|
| Rich man purchased a poor one
|
| This land versus a fore run
|
| Either you with us or for 'em
|
| Pistols and missiles got 'em just to wage war on
|
| It ain’t safe even in Oregon
|
| Each mourn, then there’s more gone
|
| Bloodshed filthy as the money it pours on
|
| The guilty hand washes the sore one
|
| King James boxin a Qu’ran
|
| The officials are morons, can’t trust no one
|
| But if the whinos don’t know it, the streets won’t repeat it
|
| If it ain’t adverse, then the reverend won’t preach it
|
| Represent the slums, the misfits and have-nots
|
| Buddy we had not, born in a bad spot |
