| Damn right, we got it
|
| Damn right, I’m 'bout it
|
| Police state trying to kill us
|
| Will they succeed? |
| I doubt it
|
| Y’all don’t want no problems
|
| So lame nigas be quiet
|
| We 'bout to start the survival
|
| We 'bout to start the survival
|
| That’s why we can’t have nice things
|
| That’s why we can’t have nice things
|
| Used to race home after school
|
| Just to turn on the tube
|
| To catch the new videos, thought I was cool
|
| I’m talking Snoop, Dr. Dre, to Fugees, to Biggie, to Diddy, to Wu
|
| My O.G. |
| will come from the spot with the loot
|
| Like, «Kweli you nice, niga. |
| Hop in the booth.»
|
| Together Forever, the name of the crew
|
| Now, I wonder is there any real rap left; |
| is it just me yelling no justice no
|
| peace? |
| (hands up!)
|
| This new video full of black death, fuck rap 'cuz we dying at the hands of the
|
| police (hands up!)
|
| Horror movies don’t get no scarier than the way cops treating nigas in America
|
| See more videos of cops trying to bury us than ISIS, you tell me who’s the
|
| terrorist
|
| Terrorists making bomb threats ain’t got shit on the Prison Industrial Complex
|
| Slavery to Jim Crow, now force my kinfolk into poverty, living in the projects!
|
| (trapped!)
|
| Coming such a long way from living like kings
|
| Now we like bling, wanna pull up in a white thing. |
| (you trapped, niga)
|
| This is why we can’t have nice things
|
| Got to be prepared for the drama that it might bring
|
| Jealousy gonna tear us apart
|
| They say it’s all love, but what’s in their hearts?
|
| The product in nigas, kidnapping your wife
|
| You’re out in the desert like what’s in the box?
|
| In your Brad Pitt voice
|
| So what you have is a choice
|
| You can have all of us thinking you’re moist
|
| Or get like Chuck D and start bringing the noise
|
| Rap life I attack like a pit bull
|
| Let it off like a clip full
|
| Known to stand up to all that bullshit that you sit through
|
| Tell the world what we’ve been through, it’s pitiful
|
| Portrait of the artist as a young man
|
| Raised in a borough in Brooklyn in the late 80's
|
| Rap crazy are the crack babies who act shady when snitches start singing like
|
| the fat lady
|
| Amadeus, you know what it is
|
| Damn right, we got it
|
| Damn right, I’m bout it
|
| Police state trying to kill us
|
| Will they succeed? |
| I doubt it
|
| Y’all don’t want no problems
|
| Lame niggas be quiet
|
| We 'bout to start the survival
|
| We 'bout to start the survival
|
| That’s why we can’t have nice things
|
| That’s why we can’t have nice things
|
| Naw, it ain’t trap rap
|
| It ain’t backpack (what's that?)
|
| This is what you sound like when you have facts
|
| And you’re facing down the cops in a gas mask
|
| Y’all be listening to lames? |
| Well, we past that
|
| Half-assed rap, you can have that back
|
| All you fake deep niggas where your hashtag at?
|
| Cut you open on the mic when I’m showing you the light
|
| Niggas scatter like roaches, where the black flag at?
|
| Radio solace is coming I promise you nigas I give you a preview (it's coming)
|
| Transparency, that’s the key
|
| I got nothing to hide you niggas is see through
|
| Trans parent, no Caitlyn genital
|
| Tatted up but you faker than henna ho
|
| Black Star with the bars that expose you
|
| Just like you posed nude, no centerfold
|
| That’s why we can’t have nice things
|
| That’s why we can’t have nice things |
