2
Wassup? We need to talk
3
Let me light my backport
4
(lights up)
5
(exhales)
6
That's why we need to sit down
7
And talk about the black and the brown
8
Yo, I love Los Angeles, you can hear it in my music
9
Plus I got the scars to prove it
10
And man.. you don't understand what I understand
11
I'm feelin like a piece to a bigger plan
12
'Cause all I'm sayin is the God honest truth of it all, we fightin the wrong enemy
13
That's why I'm gettin invovled, it's just like the end of that movie "Saw"
14
When them two chained up guys met with their demise
15
And the mastermind was layin there the whole time
16
Remember that? That's why we have to sit down
17
And speak about the black and the brown
18
Now I didn't come here to point no fingers
19
I know over the years that the pain still lingers over past confrontations
20
Shit we all on parole and probation and fucked up situations
21
And everybody lose.. from the pen, to the neighborhoods, now it's even the high schools
22
'Cause I was watchin K. Cal News
23
when the students squared off and one kid wouldn't choose sides
24
Hit with a hammer and the kid died and now it's a full blown riot
25
Tck, that's when the fists start flyin
26
These kids ain't learnin shit about math and science
27
Man..
28
[Chorus: Xzibit]
29
Tension is so thick, some are comin around
30
I don't wanna see no more of us up under the ground
31
So now.. that's why we need to sit down
32
And talk about the black and the brown
33
Eighty percent of inmates are black and Hispanic
34
They tryna wipe us all off the face of this planet
35
Dammit.. that's why we need to sit down
36
And talk about the black and the brown
37
[Xzibit]
38
Yo, I got the homey Jose from way back in the day
39
He came to scoop me up in his all white Six-Trey
40
And he don't really fuck with nobody outside of the set
41
It's tatted big on his neck
42
Y'know? So over the years, built respect and trust
43
Some black and brown issues we both discussed
44
He said, "Homes, it's been goin down too long
45
I gotta bang on them fools and it don't feel wrong"
46
"They killed my cousin over eighty eight bricks
47
So word came down, we gotta handle that shit"
48
"Kill all mayatas in white tee shirts
49
Can I tell the truth homes? The truth starts hurtin"
50
At first, I remind him of what vengeance do
51
What vengeance is and who vengeance belongs to
52
He wasn't tryna hear that shit
53
He just turned up the volume, bangin 50 Cent
54
[Chorus]
55
[Xzibit]
56
I got soldiers from both sides who really don't care
57
Who identify themselves by the colors they wear
58
The homey came through to put one in the air
59
I can tell somethin was wrong the way he sat in his chair
60
He said, "X, man I'm just gettin out
61
from doin eighty eight months, tryna figure things out"
62
He told me in the pen you get down to get done
63
'Cause the brown and black ratio is five to one
64
He showed me the scar on his gut and his neck
65
They got him good, said he damn near bled to death
66
The hate was do deep, I can see in his eyes
67
When he described what it feels like to almost die
68
All I could do was just sit back and listen
69
'Bout how he 'bout to send soldiers on missions
70
I got hit with a bottle but I'm not dead
71
I said, "Think with your heart homey, not your head"
72
I said
73
[Chorus]
74
[Jelly Roll + (Xzibit)]
75
Oooooh you must defend yourself (Yeah!)
76
If you don't, then no one else (Nobody!)
77
Your homies got to ride (Let's go!)
78
You're fighting for your life (Yeah!)
79
They want both of us dead
80
You ain't heard a word I said
81
You're fighting for your life (Come on)
82
Your homies got to riiide
83
[Chorus]
84
