[Intro]
2
It's my hood, I been livin here for 17 years
3
Boy I done got jumped, my car done got shot up
4
I done got shot at, I been to jail, 3, fo' times
5
I want parents to simply wake up
6
To take responsibility for our own kids
7
It's time to take action!
8
It's time to wake up and stop sleepin!
9
[Paris]
10
Peace, what's happenin rookie?
11
It's been a while since I been gone, just tryin to fall in
12
Ain't nothin new, sheeit, I keep it mannish
13
It's different now than when I was out, let's examine
14
What's happenin junior? What's goin down?
15
How the women actin, heard you was crushin 'em in the town
16
Look good don't they? Hell yeah, shoulda saw
17
the ones last week at the mall, hella raw
18
And all tryin to come up, like video queens
19
So fine they make some of us do the stupidest things
20
But be careful though, get caught up, know what you doin
21
Fuck around and be a teenage pop, and life is ruined
22
How ya momma doin? She cool, is that right?
23
Seen your sister last week at the bank, lookin tight
24
Keep yo' eyes on her, cause niggaz, nowadays
25
always lookin for some new ones to train, so many ways
26
And I'm amazed, but not amused as such
27
We all brothers but some of us gettin caught in the clutch
28
Another, day go by another, day's the same
29
Another, day of strife I say a, prayer for change
30
But I cain't complain, and if I did so what?
31
The best we can do is try to find the truth and come up
32
I'm still bangin on these tracks, still keep hope for us
33
Yeah I'm back, still rough on wax, and still bust
34
[Chorus - singer]
35
E'rybody gotta do their own thang
36
See the whole world goin insane
37
Hope to see sun, it'll be rain
38
We lay low, lay low, lay low
39
E'rybody tryin to maintain
40
Brothers gonna work out in the aeeend
41
'Til we get peace it'll be pain
42
And they know, they know, they know
43
[Paris]
44
What's on your mind? What, your homey died?
45
Over what, some bullshit? Is that right?
46
I known him since back in the days, we was tight
47
Used to date his older sister back in late '85
48
I just wonder why, the shit don't make no sense
49
How many gotta die befo' these niggaz convinced?
50
Death is final every day for my people I'm prayin
51
Seems so many lose our futures fuckin 'round in the game
52
A motherfuckin shame, another life is ruined
53
Know you want to ride but gunnin for them niggaz is useless
54
See we all confused, damn, but everything is a test
55
Don't let ego and emotions be the reason you slip
56
Cause though your boys might fall, fall for doin wrong
57
Friends drop like drawers, nobody mobbin like the law
58
And we don't need no more in the pen or at war
59
It's open season every brother on the street is a target, believe
60
[Chorus]
61
[Paris]
62
Now even though I'm anti-pop, I still rise
63
And though it seem it ain't gon' stop, I still rise
64
above this bullshit hip-hop, I still rise
65
Supply, wise words, disguised in rhyme verse
66
I curse, what these niggaz is sayin, ain't nuttin real
67
Just fairy tales of pimpin these sisters and makin mail
68
I see 'em pose, see the bitchy roles they play
69
See these videos they shitty, see the way we portrayed
70
See these sellin out acts just sellin our rap
71
Believe wannabe macks with powerhouse tracks
72
Redefined black manhood, defied Allah
73
We rise up, fuck this bullshit, survival or die
74
See them thuggin niggaz muggin with that criminal pout
75
See 'em frown in every photo, see that shit in they mouth
76
See 'em tattered lookin battered chasin pussy and weed
77
Makin hookers out of queens every video feed
78
I see these labels sit back, push this shit like crack
79
Now every record every act, got you thinkin it's black
80
to act a fool chasin pussy like it's hard to get
81
I see these crackers think it's cool, bein niggaz for chips
82
I split jiggaboo chins, analyze these trends
83
If it's down to me and them I'm sendin flowers to kin
84
Ain't nuttin easy in this world, struggle makes the man
85
Don't let these motherfuckers do you understand the plan, believe
86
[Chorus] - 2X
