That Ain't Right |
While emcees were burning ism I earned degrees in journalism |
Learning the system and about how freedom of speech is worth killing for |
But watch what you say in all those interviews! |
You’re in limbo? |
WELL WE’RE IN LIMBO TOO! |
Contact the dead to get advice from Anne Landers |
Transmit personal problems like head lice in bandanas |
The big man on campus has delusions of grandure |
Doing a thesis on ebonics, unconsciously using poor grammar |
Your mannerisms are suitable to cancer victims |
How much opposition does it take for your stance or position |
To dance to this rhythm? |
(you're jignorant, baby!) |
Dance to this rhythm. |
(Go ahead, baby!) |
Ah, forget it. |
It’s actually accepted for rappers to have no ethics |
Their albums would benefit if they put in half the effort |
I attended candle light vigils for Matthew Sheppard |
While you put out another fuck you, faggot record |
That Ain’t Right |
I blame my hate mail on typographical errors |
Correct the mispellings and then send out thank you notes for the love letters |
Accept rejection when I get a return to sender |
Reject acceptance when the girl’s got an agenda |
I’ve entered this Brave New World of true cowards |
Talkin''bout, No one goes to shows no more. |
They’re too crowded. |
So they stay home and burn shit |
Then they say, I downloaded your life off the net. |
Totally worth it. |
It’s 2003. Time to stop acting like assholes |
It ain’t about backpackers or cash flow |
Fashionable afros, salon style dreds or frat clothes |
And it ain’t about these fuckin’loud mouths shoutin, BATTLE! |
African medalions didn’t sell platinum albums |
That’s part of the reason why you think hiphop died |
It was here before you were. |
It’ll be here in the future |
Life’s not a bitch, she’s just sick of being personified |
That Ain’t Right |
This household is filled with the half-deads |
They’ve got a mouthfull of pills because they’re crack heads |
They shout that I’m ill, but they’re doubtful of skill |
With the type of stabbing that turns my back red |
I don’t blast lead, I write until my pen explodes |
All over fashion dreds and your Echo clothes |
I don’t listen when they say, Shit ain’t ever gonna change, |
and they say I ain’t got no soooooouuuuuul. |
