Have you forgotten that once we were brought here,

We were robbed of our name,robbed of our language.

We lost our religion,our culture,our god...

And many of us,by the way we act,we even lost our minds


Here it is, bamm

And you say goddamn, this is the dope jam

But let's define the term called dope

And you think it mean funky now no

Here is a true tale of the ones that deal

Are the ones that fail, yeah

You can move if you wanna move

What it prove, it's here like the groove

The problem is this we gotta' fix it

Check out the justice and how they run it

Sellin', smellin', sniffin', riffin'

And brothers try to get swift an'

Sell to their own, rob a home

While some shrivel to bone

Like comatose walkin' around

Please don't confuse this with the sound

I'm talking about base


Base

Base

Base


I put this together to rock the bells of those that

Boost the dose of lack a lack

And those that sell to black

Shame on a brother when he dealin'

The same block where my '98 be wheelin'

And everybody know another kilo

From a corner from a brother keep another below

Stop illin' and killin', stop grillin'

Yo, black, yo, we are willin'

4, 5 o'clock in the mornin', wait a minute y'all

The fiends are fiendin'

Day to day to day they say no other way

This stuff is really bad, I'm talkin' 'bout bass


Base

Base

Base

How long can you go?

How long can you go?

How long can you go?

How long can you go?


Yo, listen, I see it on their faces

First come first serve basis

Standin' in line, checkin' the time

Homeboys playin' the curb

The same ones that used to do herb

Now they're gone, passin' it on

Poison attack, the black word bond

My man Daddy-O, once said to me

He knew a brother who stayed all day in his jeep

And at night he went to sleep

And in the mornin' all he had was sneakers on his feet

The culprit used to jam and rock the mike, yo

He stripped the jeep to fill his pipe

And wander around to find a place

Where they rocked to a different kind of c'mon y'all


Succotash is a miracle kids that make cash

Sellin' drugs to the brother man instead of the other man

Brothers and sisters I'm talking 'bout
