[verse 1]Is the groove good to you |
|
Like when you lose your thing |
|
Forgetten grits is grocery |
|
And eggs is poultry |
|
Makin a livin against those makin a killin |
|
Super blackman gotha back |
|
And is back in the building |
|
If the prison is that skin you in |
|
And your cell sittin inside your skull |
|
They say you cant getaway |
|
From ya damn self |
|
When your earth is heaven |
|
And your world be hell |
|
Check your head |
|
Armageddons at the foot of your bed |
|
You aint heard a word i said |
|
Forget them slacks |
|
Im that throwback that |
|
Threw that throwback |
|
Back on the racks |
|
To get my mind back |
|
O say can you see |
|
I get back its still just a black and white tv |
|
In lyin color brother |
|
Gots to getaway to the other.[verse 2] |
|
Never was too good |
|
Off the top of my head |
|
Cause i want yall to know |
|
Exactly what i said |
|
This so called war in iraq |
|
Over a thousand dead |
|
Thats about10 a week |
|
Even as i speak33% of black males in jail55% of black students will fail85% of black folks forgot |
|
We were slaves |
|
Up inside this box |
|
America got folks brains on lock |
|
Forget the connects |
|
Some wanna buy whats next |
|
Wear it like a sign up in that chest |
|
Yall should know papa dont take no mess |
|
If you think your past is irrelevant |
|
Dont you know ol soul pays the gt damn rent |
|
That messiah aint never |
|
Gonna come as long as |
|
You thinkin freedom |
|
Is bein free to be dumb[verse 3] |
|
Soul is back |
|
So flip them hits back |
|
Damn the fashion |
|
I wanna know wheres the passion |
|
Thinkin we came a long way baby |
|
Sayin poor michaels psycho |
|
And prince hes crazy |
|
But what has bob mick sir paul |
|
Done for you lately |
|
How they maintain on your brain |
|
Seems to escape me |
|
Heard some ghetto cats |
|
Dont like metal rap |
|
Hear it and fear it |
|
And they think its wack |
|
They dont even know that the blues is black |
|
And when i rap is back to the roots |
|
Where i be at |
|
Not some 30 year old who dont know facts |
|
Whos wild sayin things like some juvenile |
|
Remember 2 million black folks in the penile |
|
Got a world of whitefolks |
|
Thinkin its style |
|
Think im hatin cause you lack the information |
|
Cause we the fbi still gots on file |
