Hannibal Lecture 歌詞
Being here in america doesn't make you an american
Being born here in america doesn't make you an american
Why if birth made you an american
You wouldn't need any legislation
You wouldn't need any amendments to the constitution
I don't see any american dream i see an american nightmare
I'm one of the 42 million black people
Who are the victims of america
Aiyyo we all in together now all in together now
Hard truth soldierin hard truth soldier sh*t
Keep on servin em cause you know we do work
Mashin in my chevy down the streets of new york they feel me
I smooth grip and hit up the spot
Snatch flav as my dual pipes burn up the block
We bumpin hardcore heavyweight b boy blast
On the street they hear my beat my 69 is fast
Smash down lennox head up to the view
Some reporter wanna holla and i said it was cool
Wanna know about the album and the enemy's new
How p e and guerilla funk is keepin it movin
Breaking bread talking politics you know how it go
Bout the war and how it's shitty that we murder for dough
Then the reporter asked a question that i had to mash
How i would act if every day was maybe my last
How if every day i worried bout my family in this
I'd be murdered on these street in a puddle of piss
Or if i would get some news that my brother had died
If they ran up in my house and held my kids and my wife
Or if we was looted and somebody took all our thangs
If my sister was abducted never heard from again
I began to compare it so he could observe
When i made the parallels with how they living abroad
I can't ignore it these pigs ride deep in the streets
Cap a ni**a for his wallet beat another for free
And the cold part about it life is cheaper than that
Down there people on the bottom kill each other for scraps
Imagine that propoganda got the people confused
Damned by the media that keep em subdued
I been around the world seen a lot of sh*t in my life
Same sirens same ghetto birds swirlin at night
Same racism profilin each of us all
Same outsiders where we live enforcin the law
Gats clappin on the streets gunplayin with heat
Same prisons full of brothers herded in like sheep
Same turncoats that'll burn folks for pay
Same conditions in communities we die everyday
Same brutality and ignorance now what will it take
To break the motherf**kin cycle get the people away
That's why i'm fresh out of tears for em
All out of tears for em
Even though my heart goes out
What the f**k you cryin bout
Money for rebuilding but what about home
When the way we live is shitty where's the love for our own
I can't decide it it's real i hit you with proof
Maybe i'll be suicided cause i hit you with truth
See they kill for less than what we say on records to you
Hear the message in the music from a rebel to you now listen
Save my life you gotta save my life you gotta
Save my life you gotta save my life you gotta
Save my life you gotta save my life you gotta
Save us save us
Save my life you gotta save my life you gotta
Save my life you gotta save my life you gotta
Save my life you gotta save my life you gotta
Save us save us
Save my life you gotta save my life you gotta
Save my life you gotta save my life you gotta
Save my life you gotta save my life you gotta
Save us save us
Save my life you gotta save my life you gotta
Save my life you gotta save my life you gotta
Save my life you gotta save my life you gotta
Save us save us
Save my life you gotta save my life you gotta
Save my life you gotta save my life you gotta
Save my life you gotta save my life you gotta
Save us save us
Save my life you gotta save my life you gotta
Save my life you gotta save my life you gotta
Save my life you gotta save my life you gotta
Save us save us
