Ey, ey, check it out homie | |
Man, you need to get up out of this spot man | |
And get a job man before you get smoked man | |
I know you don't wanna hear it man | |
But, man, wait, hold up loc you've got company man | |
Where's my guns? | |
When I'm ridin' on the street | |
I hear gunshots, rare shots | |
Swear crack niggas 'cause they're moms missed flips | |
So black man really care about politics | |
In the ninety's, our governments so slick | |
I watch CN | |
N sometimes and | |
I realizeThey're playin' tricks on my mind | |
They want a man to work with his hands | |
Too young to die, and they don't give a damn | |
Rare-momma got down on her knees | |
But not no more, god damn it, | |
I make cheese | |
I'm on the move and | |
I'ma show and prove | |
You might cry to my political groove | |
Rest in peace, sauce brothers underneath | |
I love you to death while my beat's like a reef | |
In the middle of the night on the city streets | |
The only thing we got left is the beat | |
All we got left is the beat, is the beat, yo | |
All we got left is the beat, huh, give it to me | |
All we got left is the beat, the beat, yo | |
All we got left is the beat, uh | |
Who brings guns into the | |
USA?And then makes sure that they come around the way | |
Gain the points until the whole race traps | |
And teach up my woman that she should call up the cops | |
The projects are hell, wait a, minute | |
There's nothin' we do but ride on top of an elevator | |
Say the clubs, | |
I can't get a job | |
Mouth to feed, somebody's gettin' robbed | |
I ain't worked, but | |
I ain't workin' for crumbs | |
You ever seen a man-shelter? | |
Check out the bombs | |
Brother of pain, their whole lives are over | |
They spent every dime tryin' not to be sober | |
And all the ladies got bags of clothes | |
They'll be your long lost momma, one never knows | |
The streets are like a nightmare | |
While the presidents secretary is chillin' in his leather chair | |
All we got left is the beat, is the beat, yo | |
All we got left is the beat, give it to me | |
All we got left is the beat, the beat, yo | |
All we got left is the beat, uh | |
Lemon to a lime, lime to a lemon | |
When you need a toga-black, hire black linen | |
Your ripper's man applause when he can't get a job | |
He gets up all of his family and feels like a slob | |
The black women don't understand' | |
Cause they don't realize what it is to be a black man | |
In the mornin' a brother feels like a jerk | |
Seein' black women and white men go to work | |
So all women fear, the brothers ain't real' | |
Cause they won't give us no jobs, that's the real deal | |
Hold my hand while | |
I get it all together | |
They don't deserve me at times of bad weather' | |
Cause I'ma make it out the concrete walls | |
And there's another way besides basketball | |
Let me go, let me do what | |
I doI'm red, black and green, then red, white and blue | |
All we got left is the beat, is the beat, yo | |
All we got left is the beat, give it to me | |
All we got left is the beat, is the beat, yo | |
All we got left is the beat, uh, give it to me | |
Ridin' in the street you can feel the city heat | |
A little bit of grass and a whole lot of concrete | |
Creepin' I'm standin' on the corner | |
And you can get robbed if you wanna | |
Paybacks a mother on the street | |
You're seein' gold teeth, ya hearin' funky beats | |
Brothers ride by real slow | |
You get leary when they got tinted windows | |
Sittin' on the steps with a blunt | |
I'm drinkin' valentine, | |
I wasn't raised up front | |
My aunt Ellie always talked about | |
GodTell me you never cried 'cause it's so hard | |
Government got a hell of a plan | |
But word is born they ain't destroyin' this black man | |
All we got left is the beat, is the beat, yo | |
All we got left is the beat, give it to me | |
All we got left is the beat, is the beat, yo | |
All we got left is the beat, uh, give it to me | |
All we got left is the beat, is the beat, yo | |
All we got left is the beat, huh, give it to me | |
All we got left is the beat, the beat, yo | |
All we got left is the beat, uh, give it to me | |
Uh, uh ,uh | |
Uh, uh, uh | |
Uh, uh, uh... |
