|
Looking on various street corners |
|
I'm sure you've seen it yourself |
|
Standing on the corner, is an alleged brother |
|
Dressed in blue or green, red and black |
|
And, spouting the news, that the revolution is coming |
|
And you better get ready, sort of like |
|
The end of the world is coming, unfortunately |
|
The world is just gonna get dragged on and on |
|
And, we have a poem that we've written particularly |
|
For the brothers on the street corners [Bronze Nazareth] |
|
Yo, standing on porches in front of houses and corner stores |
|
I'm born to more, horrific than syphilis, cuz where we live is |
|
Hell on earth, where was heaven when shit's real |
|
We sold dope to get mill, for white folks in |
|
Smith field |
|
Fuck Israel, it's |
|
Kill Hills, spilt pills for my bill |
|
Write wills for my seeds, to live from, who take some |
|
Who give some, for brothers that was lynched hung, the symptoms |
|
Never go away, a stir away from colder ways |
|
Having ramblings and savages, blessed, from us asking |
|
This whole cross, is more rust in |
|
Florida oranges and lost orphans |
|
I offer thought for food in full courses |
|
I've soared into the night glow, my hat's low, my roots grow |
|
For you to soon know, |
|
I reap what you sow [Solomon Childs] |
|
We just land down from |
|
Liberia, young black man |
|
In control of the pillars, millions buried in dirt |
|
How many railroads do you own? |
|
How much clean chrome you own |
|
This for my ancestors names engraved in stone |
|
On the roads where the rebels once roamed |
|
We built homes, civilized our own |
|
King Solomon |
|
Childs, beautiful as black, this time |
|
We will walk on water, this time |
|
We will see through the lies, this time |
|
Prepare troops to move in, expand the runways |
|
Build bigger bridges, nine millimeters from brady |
|
We living in war, so prepare for submission |
|
Apache helicopters, a black man's face on a dollar |
|
The pigs constantly watch us, the streets is obnoxious |
|
Baby of the first nine, homey, in toxic [Byata] |
|
The first seed of a dope fiend, she |
|
A.D.D Needle parked off spring boughed, by she, wanna be |
|
While her siblings is rich living, she ain't bitching |
|
Mama's working two jobs, try'nna maintain a living |
|
Few years passed, now she's getting raised by the streets |
|
Side by side, watchin' hustles, now she blazed like the streets |
|
This is for my women living in the struggle |
|
Getting brought into this world without asking for the troubles |
|
Of the every day life-life, a battered wife |
|
A single mother's holding it down, while the world so trife |
|
Crack fiend, you could of been something better in life |
|
Now hold your head up, ma, you know it ain't over, right? |
|
Yeah, this is for my |
|
Russians on the grind |
|
Off the boat struggling try'nna hold a nine to five |
|
Yeah, I seen enough with these eyes |
|
I thank the most high, |
|
I'm still alive |
