Should I do what they gave me, took it and never admit
I invented the flow, yup, they different between us
You get it and come, I get it and go
Different strokes, for different folks, shit I ain't tryin'
To come up short, let on, let it all
Or will it just blow, like it did to coke
Not me, some of us hood rich, but 90 percent of us niggaz is broke
The government, shit they make us sniff' coke
Instead of embracin' us, fuck savin' us, They give us the rope
I'm hearin' ya guns in ya hood, what the fuck you think
How can one another cope, you just throw us into so we go at each others throats
Just go, the statistics, every three hours
A brother is smoked, a baby is killed, a sister is raped
Somebody mother, strangled under that dope
Just get up and say, here, get up and pray
Tomorrow and promise, so I live for the day, this is hip hop
I need all, but tell ya rappers to come back, yea
We work too hard, to give us away, a victim of age
I can't go out, like Eazy-E, a victim of AIDS
Being black is crime, I done worked, a nine to five
For three years, and they still, ain't give me a raise
Shit give me a gauge, fuck a mininum wage
Get in a helicopter, look down, shit we live in a maze
The day go fast, when ya broke, but it seems like
The minute you payed, the sun, never set
I don't sleep, cuz sleep is the cousin of death
So I wake up, my brother, my cousins, and uncle's that's def, yes

After the war, there's casualties, I studied the art
They give us roaches and batteries, and blow you apart
Play dumb, procrastinate, they assassinate those that are smart
Be brave, in the Wizard of Oz, though you are heart, get some courage
To get you the light, walk slow in the dark, don't get discouraged
I'm on the one way trip to heaven, forget the luggage
Just in pain, it's making me weak, it's making me sluggish
Besides weed, clogging up my THC
In my hood, everybody got a PHD
I count on my fingers, how many niggaz got a GED
My life is worth more, than TV, and the DVD
Fuck a CD, I wanna be free, money for me
I'm like a cat, caught in the tree, ok, I need help
Why do I do for others, when I know, I should do for myself
Wher your friends when you need them,, they collapse
Under the real woods, in me, if I need, I don't ask shit
I chuckled, pool game, goodie mob, goodie L
Clark Kent, frankly, GNC, respect yes
My brother Kenny, I will pay you back for every penny
I got the many mentions, it's yours, nigga the key to the drawers
So I work out, try to keep my endurance
We lips, looked out, when that nigga needed insurance
Lift it, G to E-N-T, Miss Pam, for feedin missy
I can cut down, for going to college, believing in me
I love you girl, you mean the world to me
