2
Saigon, stic.man, dead prezidents
3
Blown away, could be any one of us
4
[stic.man]
5
I pour some water on the ground for the soldiers that's fallen
6
Those who paid the ultimate price when they answer they callin
7
To all the martyrs that we lost as a people in common
8
You got blown away but you didn't go in vain
9
True examples of change on the frontline of the battle
10
Brothers like Bunchy Carter, suit up and rolled when it mattered
11
Wasn't a hidden agenda, wasn't Maulana Karenga
12
He got blown away, still unknown today
13
John Lennon and Gandhi, both were proponents of peace
14
Spiritual message they taught, millions of people they reached
15
Suited devils amongst plotted the dark and the light
16
Both got blown away so bearin this Glock is my right
17
Is there a message encoded deep in the violent display?
18
Renderin people afraid, keepin the movement at bay
19
Go intel pro is a lie still to discourage the rise
20
Leaders get blown away, the media covers our eyes
21
Modern-day genocide, what hope is there for tomorrow?
22
Whether it's vertical or the violence is horizontal
23
I lost too many cousins but was it the bullets that took you?
24
Or was it the, situations society put you?
25
Though I rally for peace, still I carry my piece
26
I keep it free of debris, I keep it oiled and greased
27
They say it's freedom of speech but just watch what you say
28
Before your face on a shirt, like "He got blown away" (uh)
29
[Chorus: Saigon]
30
I knew a rapper that just rhymed of his dope and his grind
31
But heard a dead prez record that opened his mind
32
You know what happened the second he pressed play? (what?)
33
He got blown awayyyyyyy (yeah)
34
This other kid had never listened to S to the A (nah)
35
So yesterday I gave him a couple records to play (yeah)
36
He heard "Clap" and the shit that I did with Trey
37
He got blown awayyyyyyy
38
[Saigon]
39
(Go 'head) I pour some Henny on the floor for every young boy
40
murdered in Baltimore, Watts to Little Rock, Arkansas
41
Philadelphia, D.C. to Chi-Town (Chi-Town)
42
And every other ghetto where niggaz get shot down
43
The drama's pitiful, little niggaz is homicidical
44
We ignore the fact that all the crime is political
45
When somebody's blown away, somebody's gone away
46
Prison population inflatin, the shit grow e'ry day
47
It's usually us, that's occupyin the Riker's bus
48
It's more than us fightin just, this shit is a crisis cuz
49
350 million guns in United States
50
Y'all callin my music conscious, I'm callin it wide awake
51
The ghettos that I escape, a lot of others succumb
52
It's hard when your pops a crackhead, and your mother's a bum
53
And you discovered the slums is not a place you should stay
54
But the only way to leave there is for you to get blown away
55
[Chorus]
Billy Joel - Goodnight Saigon (Official ...
