| We try our best to survive
|
| (We ain’t runnin away)
|
| And keep our heads to the sky
|
| (Y'all never will lead us astray)
|
| Kiss that stress and depression goodbye
|
| (Chase all of our troubles away)
|
| If we could just get it right
|
| (Then everything, it should be okay)
|
| Oh okay
|
| Do away with the clubs and the drug spots
|
| Do away with the judge and the mug shots
|
| Like we do away with the day when the sun drops
|
| Clap your hands if you tired of hearin gunshots
|
| Or hearin news about who got popped
|
| By another black man or knockin a white cop
|
| If I ain’t there when it start I’m there when the fight stop like ock
|
| Slow your roll or be cold as a ice pop, ya
|
| We gotta start helpin each other, quit hurtin each other
|
| Money’ll have a nigga thinkin 'bout murkin his mother
|
| How does it feel bein slaves to a dollar bill?
|
| Givin you somethin y’all can feel, are y’all for real?
|
| Do away with all the Chinese restaurants
|
| Do away with all the fake Gloria Estefans
|
| Clap your hands if you gettin up in some real estate
|
| Buy the crib ma, the Benz with the wheels could wait
|
| I 'member I used to instigate
|
| Now I’m the one breakin up the fight makin sure that detention’s straight
|
| Will let a nigga get the heart to push me
|
| I’ll snuff the biggest nigga with him, show him that his partner pussy
|
| You ain’t got to be soft to be compete
|
| I’m like the Martin Luther King then I knock out some teeth
|
| Now I’m a flip it and shift it, give it prolific
|
| Case niggaz just get it twisted, forget that I’m so gifted
|
| Do away with the jails and the group homes
|
| Like we did away with the shells and the two-tone
|
| Clap your hands if you lovin that Just Blaze shit
|
| Cause we don’t just make songs, we make statements
|
| Do away with the hip-hop police force
|
| Fuck the pigs, I was taught not to eat pork
|
| Clap your hands if you ain’t forget where you came from
|
| Clap again if you ready to see a change come
|
| I used to live in the same slum
|
| As Mike Tyson and Riddick Bowe, that’s where the knuckle game from
|
| Spring Valley had the same bums
|
| We had to stay in, I ain’t hang late cause we ain’t have a income
|
| Now I be on the track like when the train come
|
| And I don’t rap to just jaw-jack, nigga I be sayin somethin!
|
| And with my man Just Bliggity Blaze
|
| You’re just about to witness history made
|
| Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap
|
| Clap your hands if you lovin that Just Blaze shit (clap)
