What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Could you tell me who released our animal instinct?
2
Got the white man sittin' there tickled pink.
3
Laughin' at us on the avenue
4
Bustin' caps at each other after havin' brew
5
We can't enjoy ourselves
6
Too busy jealous
7
Of each other's wealth
8
Commin' up is just in me
9
But the Black community is full of envy
10
Too much back stabbin'
11
While I look up the street I see all the japs grabbin'
12
Every vacant lot in my neighborhood
13
Build a store, and sell their goods
14
To the county of recips ?
15
You know us po niggas, nappy hair and big lips?
16
Four or five babies on your crotch
17
And you expect Uncle Sam to help us out?
18
We ain't nothin' but porch monkeys
19
To the average bigot, redneck honky
20
You say comin' up is a must
21
But before we can come up, take a look at US
22
And all y'all dope-dealers
23
Your as bad as the po-lice- cause ya kill us
24
You got rich when you started slangin' dope
25
But you ain't built us a supermarket
26
So when can spend our money with the blacks
27
Too busy buyin' gold an' Caddilacs
28
That's what ya doin' with the money that ya raisin'
29
Exploitin' us like the Caucasians did
30
For four hundred years, I got four hundred tears- for four hundred peers
31
Died last year from gang-related crimes
32
That's why I got gang-related rhymes
33
But when I do a show ta kick some facts
34
Us Blacks don't know how ta act
35
Sometimes I believe the hype, man
36
We're messin' up ourselves and blame the white man
37
But don't point the finger you jiggaboo
38
Take a look at yourself ya dumb nigga you
39
Pretty soon hip-hop won't be so nice
40
No Ice Cube, just Vannilla Ice
41
And y'all sit and scream and cuss
42
But there's no one ta blame, but US
43
US will always sing the blues
44
'Cause all we care about is hairstyles and tennis shoes
45
But if ya step on mine ya pushed a button
46
"Cause I'll beat you down like it ain't nothin'
47
Just like a beast
48
But I'm the first nigga ta holler out (peace, black man)
49
I beat my wife and children to a pulp
50
When I get drunk and smoke dope
51
Got a bad heart condition
52
Still eat hog-mogs an' chitlin's
53
Bet my money on the dice and the horses
54
Jobless, so I'm a hope for the armed forces
55
Go to church but they tease us
56
Wit' a picture of a blue-eyed Jesus
57
They used to call me Negro
58
After all this time I'm still bustin' up the chiffarobe
59
No respect and didn't know it
60
And I'm havin' more babies than I really can afford
61
In jail 'cause I can't pay the mother
62
Held back in life because of my color
63
Now this is just a little summary
64
Of US, but y'all think it's dumb of me
65
To put a mirror to ya face, but trust
66
Nobody gives a fuck about
