Generate meaning
1
I gotta few things I wanna ask the Lord
2
Why my people gotta be so poor, feel me
3
And why's it so rough when you're young and black
4
They say you go to jail or get strung on crack
5
Why the girl have a baby she was twelve years old
6
Ask the state why the cell's gotta be so cold
7
And why these niggas here with so many years
8
Whole family in court crying so many tears
9
Can you picture us living with hope (hell no)
10
When the same ones hanging us is giving us dope
11
Shit, it's hard to get by
12
I pray to God it's still hard to get by
13
Just wanna hold my son (my man)
14
But I can't leave my house until I load my gun
15
I gotta grab my sword
16
And when I die I got some things I wanna ask the Lord
17
Like, why we dying from AIDS
18
And why on TV it's aight to be gay
19
Ain't that sorta like my gun got the right to be waved
20
If I could sit back and watch a whole cipher of slaves
21
Ask my man where the blacks at
22
Ask myself where the next Malcolm X at (I don't know)
23
Is he makin Salat, or upstate like a ape in a box
24
Am I a human or a fallen angel
25
Got to pray by myself 'cause I'm out of angle
26
I ain't facin the east, tell the brothers I was shakin the beast
27
Had the nine and the eight in the streets
28
Open your eyes, stay wise, 'cause even Satan is deep
29
I pray for a better living
30
Even though I think I'm better dying
31
Why, 'cause I'd rather hear the angels singing
32
Why, and I don't wanna hear my people crying, feel me black
33
[Chorus]
34
We ain't gotta die no more, I said we ain't gotta die no more
35
Black woman Listen
36
You ain't gotta cry no more, I said you ain't gotta cry no more
37
Black child Listen
38
We gotta provide for y'all, I said we gotta provide for y'all
39
Devil man Listen
40
We got a surprise for y'all, I said we got a surprise for y'all
41
Black man Listen
42
'Bout to be on some clever shit (I got to be)
43
I gotta think if the president is prejudice
44
And that's another eight years down
45
The 500 year warn, that's a eight year round
46
I don't really mean to sweat it
47
But the war been on before they came on your TV and settle
48
They don't need lead to shoot ya
49
Why would a man make a computer to head the future
50
I think about it in a weed session
51
They said better technology, all I see is regressin
52
Blew up our buildings in fact (blow us all up)
53
But if they live under the sun then them children is black
54
'fore the devil get more time I'd rather see the world cease
55
Hit the afterlife of world peace
56
Where black men don't die, the women don't cry
57
And the little kids get provided for and play in the sky, what
58
[Chorus]
59
We ain't gotta die no more, I said we ain't gotta die no more
60
Black woman Listen
61
You ain't gotta cry no more, I said you ain't gotta cry no more
62
Black child Listen
63
We gotta provide for y'all, I said we gotta provide for y'all
64
Devil man Listen
65
We got a surprise for y'all, I said we got a surprise for y'all
66
Black man Listen
