7

8
I don't know what this is about sounds crazy man
9
Somethin about a gun
10
"The court calls Keith Elam to the stand.
11
Please approach the bench."
12
[Guru]
13
Yo they got me handcuffed I'm down in central booking
14
Things are fucked up the way my future's looking
15
But I'm too fly, I'ma change this scenario
16
Make some power moves and tighten up my bankroll
17
Chumps are leary though, they see me as a threat
18
I'm like the black Dutch Schultz when you get me upset
19
Five-oh makes me wanna flip, Larry Davis style
20
Got a nigga depressed, while he's awaitin trial
21
It's OK though, cause from grey skies comes blue
22
Through darkness comes light and I be known as the Guru
23
And this I certify we all should be alerted by
24
the traps within the system, our youth is gettin murdered by
25
the D.A. says they got me on a felony
26
I'm tryin to live my life, so what the fuck is you tellin me?
27
The streets are war, that's what brothers carry weapons for
28
And I take the weight as I did before
29
The next thing you know, they got me on the radio
30
A rapper arrested, suckers showin me on video
31
Of course I know, that I'm a role model
32
But yo this rap life is real life sometimes it's full throttle
33
Right now I gotta think about me fuck the industry
34
You gets no love, except those who support me
35
What's the story, what happened when I went to L.A.?
36
Mixin shit up, no not there I got family
37
Nothin happened, mind your business yo step
38
You know we connect, JFK 2 LAX
39
Chorus: Guru
40
They wanna lock us all up, and throw away the key
41
Don't wanna see us come up, don't wanna see us makin G's
42
Long as we know this is the key to our destruction
43
Let's make moves no discussion
44
[Guru]
45
Peace to my man Hass, and Orange Man payin the cost
46
All the twenty-five to lifers all my brothers gettin tossed
47
into the system, supposed to rehabilitate
48
It's why you gotta regulate your own mindstate
49
Read, study lessons and build your inner power
50
The next level, doesn't tolerate cowards
51
For example, I know this rich Nigerian
52
Powerful American that's proud to be an African
53
He asked me why do all us brothers be gettin trapped
54
I told him I'd explain it broke it down in a rap
55
Whether you got naps, braids waves or no hair
56
Without esteem for yourself nigga, you goin nowhere
57
And you can swagger like you rule this; Josey Wales
58
unorganized revolt almost always mostly fails
59
Give up the savage ways, be effective soldiers
60
To elevate the mental is to be poor no more
61
There's war in the streets, prepared men know best
62
Our rhyme as live as it gets, JFK 2 LAX
63
They're always makin trouble yo, against the righteous
64
Killin us in cold blood, those beats those vipers
65
And as I sit feelin the pain in my wrist
66
I vow to myself that I'ma change this shit
67
Or at least I gotta try, or part of me will die
68
And only by action will any ideas solidify
69
So I inhale, exhale as I ponder
70
This grown man will make mistakes no longer
71
I've been there, I've seen how they make us fall victim
72
to their tricknowledgy, with no apology I diss em
73
And so I rip facts to dope tracks I caress
74
You're gonna hear about it, from JFK 2 LAX
75
