Made In America

Made In America - T-K.A.S.H./Public Enemy (公眾之敵)/Kam/J-Ro

I love niggas because niggas are me

And I should only love that which is me

I love that you niggas go through changes

Love that you niggas act

Love that you niggas make some plays and shoot the sh*t

But there's one thing about niggas that I don't love

Niggas are scared of revolution

There's a war going on at home

It's like Baghdad

In American cities where all the blacks at

Little kids that pack straps and backpacks

Who clap cats for scratch snacks and gas masks

Hard times

Niggas are on the grind

All of the time

Faith in Allah small as a dime

A cup of noodles for breakfast

A cup of noodles for lunch and

A cup of noodles for dinner

Every day is the Winter

Every day is December

Cause evin in the middle of Summer

The streets shudder from the poverty blizzard

Rocket propelled grenades

Landmines and letterbombs

Open up your envelops

With thoughts of them shutting off

Your water and your lights

And your foods and your rights

All you got in your life

Is little dude and your wife

So you move in the white

With the crew in the night

But you're nervous

The block drafted you into the service

The curse

You ain't a made ni**a you just afraid ni**a

You ain't a made ni**a you just afraid ni**a

You ain't a made ni**a you just afraid ni**a

You ain't a made ni**a you just afraid ni**a

Wakin' up is the beginning of a day that's f**ked

Spoons and forks and napkins and plates and cups

Everything but a meal

I bang with my steel

And feel hunger pains in me still

I hit the front line with my ammo and my canteen

Basketball and tennis shoes as a sand screen

Shootin' jumpers as the boys in blue pass me

Casually

I pass cream to the crack fiends

The other day a first Lieutenant was moded

Started up the car and it exploded

But didn't nobody notice

I'm knowin' how it goes

When if the the ni**a with the purple heart of

Courage ain't the oldest

It's cold sh*t

But if I let little man push

Little man could go and create a plan to ambush

Double jeopardy

Brothers reppin' me

And tellin' me they lovin' and respectin' me

Could be the death of me

You ain't a made ni**a you just afraid ni**a

God in heaven could you tell me why you never chose me

You ain't a made ni**a you just afraid ni**a

Times I asked you to provide or we wasn't goin' to eat

You ain't a made ni**a you just afraid ni**a

Why was everything that you was supposed to do on me

You ain't a made ni**a you just afraid ni**a

Since I'm not in heaven it's only one other place I can be

Now sh*t's hard when you're up in rank this far

I hit bars and I mix and mingle with stars

You flip cars with overtime you get scarred

And with your broad you begin to whisper discharge

Traumatized by the lies of the turncoats

Who walk enemy ground to go and burn smoke

Five dead single shot glock nine to the head

And you like F**k em'

Them niggas have to learn though

But things deepen

Your enemy's peepin'

The rate you're gain' weight got your thinergies creepin'

They see you're not sleepin'

So they got reason

To send a soldier in your circle

And manipulate the treason

A psychological Hurricane Katrina

And ain't nobody comin' to help

F**k FEMA

I slowly turn the gun to myself and squeeze it

And Mohhamed Era Su Allayet

I couldn't see it

The grievous

I didn't create this sh*t

I was born into it Like I didn't create the projects

I didn't create homelessness I didn't create poverty

I didn't create unemployment

I didn't create this poor educational system

I was pushed into it

And now you want to blame me for not rising above it

Sh*t I may not be that strong

You ain't a made ni**a you just afraid ni**a

You ain't a made ni**a you just afraid ni**a

You ain't a made ni**a you just afraid ni**a

You ain't a made ni**a you just afraid ni**a
