16
They forgot us on the block, got us in the box
17
Solitary confinement, how violent are these cops?
18
They need a early retirement
19
How many rallies will I watch? I ain't got it in me to march
20
I got a Semi to spark, the game's in a drought
21
Public housing, projects, cookin up in the Pyrex
22
My set, my clique, either gettin money
23
Or runnin from homicide trail, that's if they ain't died yet
24
Tryna be rich, still I'm pledging allegiance
25
A predicate felon, a ghetto leader
26
Lendin my poetical genius, to who-Ever may need it
27
I bleed this from Queensbridge, now living with my feet up
28
Never defeated, so a president's needed
29
You know these colored folks and Negros hate to see
30
One of they own succeeding
31
America, surprise us, and let a black man guide us

Is it, "How can I protect my life? Protect my wife? Protect my rights?"
41
Every other president was nuttin' less than white
42
'Cept Thomas Jefferson and mixed Indian blood and Calvin Coolidge
43
Kkk is like, "What the fuck!", loadin they guns up
44
Loadin up mines too, ready to ride
45
'Cause I'm ridin with my crew - he dies, we die too
46
Yeah, but on the positive side
47
I think Obama provides hope, and challenges minds
48
Of all races and colors to erase the hate
49
And try to love one another; so many political snakes
50
We in need of a break, I'm thinkin I can trust this brotha
51
... But will he keep it way real?
52
Every innocent nigga in jail, gets out on appeal
53
When he wins, will he really care still?
54
I feel...

It ain't the 60s' again, niggas ain't hippies again
