1
Check the crippled man, sitting in the church
2
My conscience hurts, flesh like me hits the dirt
3
She's paralyzed from her feet to her thighs
4
And the man who pulled the trigger didn't even lose his necktie
5
Hi, I check Jimmy cutting hair at the barbershop
6
He plays the bass guitar, like David plays the harp
7
His knowledge name is Greek, cause whenever he speaks
8
He's got the wisdom of King Solomon bags in his eyes from no sleep
9
Sometimes he thought of the fame in Madison Square Garden
10
So some seek stardom, but they forget Harlem
11
But seeking first of all the kingdom of God is what my pops told me
12
So if I fall, could the choir catch me
13
I flew away, on a mountain, got tempted by Satan
14
Got bitten by a cobra, but the Lord took my venom
15
So who's side am I on? I'm on the righteous
16
Always check the lyrics, no time to contradict
17
[Chorus]
18
Some seek stardom, then they forget Harlem [Repeat: x3]
19
They, brothers, sisters, families, people, we, brothers
20
Keep their pockets full, but their souls run empty
21
Well aiyyo family I beseech you, in the hopes that I may reach you
22
My mother taught me one day that this mid-day would come someday
23
Born to talk that jive, with peaky hair grown wild
24
And teachers disliked me, cause I knew where my culture be
25
So now yeah mom I read history, I can't neglect my passion see
26
Rock it's kind of new to me, cause my true love was poetry
27
White was good and bad was black but black was just a massa lackey
28
Built for that B. Nimble Jack and I'd like to save you from the wicked
29
D-Dog clear I wouldn't be wet
30
The black to mourn, tomorrow's death
31
The evil things, glad that I, while angels wrote this violence why?
32
Help me make me comprehend my black berserk and why cast it
33
Time to blaze the angels nappy heads are braided that you make me
34
See what's hard for me that don't make you flee
35
When I enter your vicinity, you see my God ain't never after me
36
So yo I be wised up with Greek
37
To go and be, the last and good and see what's wrong with me
38
And through your insecurity of me and my ability
39
So bredren won't you let me be or has thou asked to much from thy
40
To tell the truth and not to lie? Oh my
41
[Chorus: x2]
42
But as I grew, I knew cause the master told me
43
From a baby to a woman from a woman to a baby
44
Life is so short, hardcore becomes hard-corpse
45
Step in a coffin where the money's no longer the source
46
There we go, there we go, there we go
47
I got mine now won't you get yours, we never open doors
48
So we neglect, and don't protect the ones that's not
49
People never really seem to care
50
And then they cry out, "My people! Why aren't we treated equal?"
51
As we flee, we flee our own communities
52
We leave our family in poverty
53
And then we blame it on another, so family please recover
54
Oh see'mon please come now with you can come with me now and blow now
55
If you want to, we're through
56
[Chorus: x4]
