[00:23.01]Damn  time's done changed these thugs do what they like
[00:25.61]Some of them be your friends to try and find a new wife
[00:28.39]And still hit the block and slang rocks at night
[00:31.06]But you could be dead wrong with your pockets right
[00:34.01]Contrary to what the legendary B I G  had to say
[00:36.95]You don't have to sell drugs or make the NBA
[00:39.79]It's easy to get a grant and get an MBA
[00:42.60]To achieve one goal there's more than one way
[00:45.72]Young people on the whole we have lost our way
[00:48.45]I don't care what it cost
[00:49.87]I'm not impressed my nigga
[00:51.35]That throwback jersey is a dress my nigga
[00:54.14]I remember diamonds used to be girl's best friend
[00:57.24]Enslaving Black children with them third world gems
[00:59.94]I don't care about your rims
[01:01.52]Kids ride Big Wheels
[01:02.80]Up until they learn balance and it's obvious you haven't
[01:05.50]With way more ego than you have true talent
[01:08.25]And this is for
[01:14.11]And this is for
[01:19.18]
[01:19.92]And this is for
[01:25.32]And this is for
[01:32.02]Any white boy who thinks he knows my struggle
[01:34.16]'Cause he listens to 'Pac and his adrenaline doubles
[01:36.10]
[01:36.97]Now I ain't got problems with you being yourself
[01:39.69]But when you front and use the N word  it just don't help
[01:42.73]I might not trip and your friends'll laugh at you
[01:45.80]But I know some real niggaz that'll straight up slap you
[01:48.64]Now you could be down but let's act growed up
[01:51.31]'Cause we ain't the same color when police show up
[01:54.08]My culture's not a trend being Black is not in
[01:57.07]But for you it's just a phase you're gonna have to transcend
[02:00.02]While even if I tried  I could never blend in
[02:02.73]To society's mainstream  American dream
[02:05.57]Yeah  it's all one love but remember one thing
[02:08.42]This music is my life not a cultural fling
[02:11.24]It's an expression of the soul when we dance and sing
[02:14.09]And you are blessed to have a chance to even glance the scene
[02:17.00]And this is for
[02:22.52]And this is for
[02:28.50]And this is for
[02:33.76]And this is for
[02:39.68]Man I do the same music  they stop coming to shows
[02:42.16]
[02:42.67]It's like they scared of the white boys in the front row
[02:45.65]First I was like  So  I'mma get my dough
[02:48.42]But the numbers kept falling as my fan base would grow
[02:51.43]And now I'm concerned so I gotta speak up
[02:54.18]First the money was the only thing shutting me up
[02:56.98]But now I don't care  don't support me  get mad
[02:59.93]Why wouldn't you abort me  my own people have
[03:02.78]I feel  I should have the scans white rappers have
[03:05.20]It's sad but that's the way it is
[03:07.59]What's the reason that my album doesn't sell like his
[03:10.27]
[03:11.25]And don't front like you don't  why the hell that is
[03:14.13]It's because he's white  you can relate to his face
[03:17.00]Through the years  you've been taught that Black is unsafe
[03:19.84]Plus it's only natural for your own to be embraced
[03:22.93]Conscious or subconscious you can't say that ain't the case
[03:25.91]Only reason it took so long to take place
[03:28.45]Was up until now your only choice was 3rd Bass
[03:31.31]Or others like Ice  wasn't really that tight
[03:33.93]Now you got some white dudes who can truly rock the mic
[03:37.11]You relate to their stories 'cause you share that past
[03:39.87]Question is  why would you listen to Murs' Black ass
[03:42.77]I asked myself for a while but now I finally get it
[03:45.74]Good music transcends all physical limits
[03:48.43]It's more than something that you hear
[03:50.05]It's something that you feel
[03:51.41]When the author and experience and passion is real
[03:54.03]Used to feel I should be silent  I was scared to do this song
[03:57.22]But I want everyone aware of what is going on
[03:59.87]Yes  it is jazz and yes it is the blues
[04:02.81]And yes it is the exact same way they did rock
[04:05.63]But I refuse to watch the same thing happen to Hip-Hop
[04:08.59]I refuse to watch that bullshit
[04:09.86]
[04:10.99]And this is for
[04:16.69]And this is for
[04:22.45]And this is for
[04:28.17]And this is for
