Generate meaning
1
I was told cause I didn't witness the whole act
2
In and out was the movement of the bozack
3
It was hot and sweaty and lots of pushin
4
Then the nut came gushin
5
And it was hell tryin to bail to the ovary
6
With nothin' but the Lord lookin' over me
7
I was white with a tail
8
But when I reached the finish line young black male!
9
One cell made two and two cells made fo'
10
And so on so now I'm a embryo
11
Then I got a hunch
12
That I'ma be on lock down, for nine months
13
Chillin', with my mother to guide me
14
And nothin' but a stomach to hide me
15
From all that worry and bullshit
16
Nine months later, I elbow pull and kick
17
Cause my time is up and I don't care
18
With one big push, I'm outta there
19
June 15th, it's just my luck
20
In 1969, a nigga is the product
21
"Ghetto ass nigga, you ain't shit,
22
And you ain't gon' never be shit!"
23
I learned how to walk and talk and all that
24
They put me in school, but it don't matter
25
Cause I'm sittin' in history
26
Learnin' bout a sucker, who didn't give a fuck about me
27
They try to shape us
28
But I know Uncle Sam is a motherfuckin' rapist
29
So I stopped payin' attention
30
Ice Cube, headed, straight to detention
31
Fuck that shit, I roam the hallways
32
I'm sent home and I don't got all A's
33
A high school dropout
34
My father had beef so I tried to knock pops out
35
But I got tossed, he's the boss
36
I'm out of there and mad cause I lost
37
Now bein' on my own is a factor
38
So I become, the neighborhood jacker
39
Gimme your car, run your jewels
40
Makin' a livin' robbin' fools
41
And if I let my nine rang out
42
You know, it'll make your brains hang out
43
So what's your fate?
44
Am I the nigga you love, or the one you love to hate?
45
The wrong answer is said, the nigga fled
46
I pump lead, now he's in a puddle of red
47
And if you got a buck, you're shit out of luck
48
Stuck up by the motherfuckin' product
49
"Uh-uh motherfucker you gots to get a job
50
If you want to stay in my motherfuckin' house"
51
"Many young men reject the traditional values
52
That are important to their parents.
53
Church, school and family
54
Have been replaced by street, turf, and gang."
55
Twenty-one now, and paid in full
56
Feelin' bad, from all the shit I pulled
57
On people back in the day
58
Plus, I got a little baby on the way
59
So I'm tryin' to go straight
60
I'm with my baby's momma, out on a date
61
Til the punk ass cops ran my plate
62
Now I'm on a bus upstate
63
"Oh, the young nigga done caught a case!"
64
"Sittin' in the mess hall, sayin' my grace"
65
Sent to a concrete hoe-house
66
Where all the products go, no doubt
67
Yo momma, I gotta do eleven
68
Livin' in a five by seven
69
Dear baby, your man's gettin' worn out
70
Of seein' young boys gettin' they assholes torn out
71
And then he got shanked with a spoon
72
And he was 'sposed to get out soon
73
Is it my fault, he was caught in production
74
Where a young black life means nothin'
75
Just because, I didn't want to learn your grammar
76
You say I'm better off in the slammer
77
And it's drivin' me batty
78
Cause my little boy, is missin' daddy
79
I'm ashamed, but the fact is
80
I wish pops let me off on the mattress
81
Or should I just hang from the top bunk
82
But that's goin out like a punk
83
My life is fucked!
84
But it ain't my fault, cause I'm the motherfuckin' product
85
"He ain't shit"
