We take pride in being real niggas
And real bitches then flinch when William Lynch tactics
Ravage through the barracks and we realize not the war
Though score upon score of urban poor doing time in ghetto minds
Blind deaf and dumb
Over the beat of bass and drum we
Transport this blood sport from project ball courts
To suburban hills we instill a thrill
For thrill killing never willing to realize
The blatant crime against self.
Ours is an insatiable appetite for wealth
Not real and lasting wealth mind you
But blind crews running up and down avenues with gold and platinum smile while forsaking their own begotten child
Though they beget many it is a pity when from city to city
We be the welcoming committee in prisons
Joints and jails with ransom disguised as bail
We hold down the cell block
While our city blocks rot from biological and chemical plots
Rocks and blows and positive for H.I.V whores got our nose wide open
And we hoping for a Jesus or another brother Moses
To Part the Blood Sea and this bullshit they're imposing
Exposing falsehood should be understood as a man's first priority
Instead
Seniority is given in the eyes of our children to
Big Willie's rolling on dubs
Tear the club up thugs exhibiting no love
These games we play
Diversified in every way
Has brought about mutations in us
Like X-Men
Friends become foes and all share the woes
Living trusting no one is called living on your toes
From new york to Chicago
Milwaukee to Tippecanoe
Negro play the jiggerboo and he's getting jiggy with it
How soon we forget the slave ships and the bull whips
Or a Haitian immigrant with a stick in the ass
Or a 16th street baptist church blast
Or the assassination of El Hajj Malik Shabazz
