My brothers and sisters If you would allow me tonight I would like for you to focus Your attention to the verse Just wanna touch on some points, man, that bother me You know, with the culture a lil' bit, man Remember, this is, this is magic, man, this is true magic, this music, man You gotta watch what you feed the kids, man, for real Yo, it's money this, money that All that shit dummy rap Should give them people money back Halves got 'em strung up, never slung 'em fact Keep them dumb, sprung up in that youngin trap Which log be cutting family trees, they just a lumberjack Ever notice it's never no fix? Only brung 'em crack Ain't write gems, but tight with ends, then they run it back Now I peep why they call it heat, it's just a runnin' track Then it's drink this, smoke that, shit so wack Give 'em boof, no percent of living proof, you get no dap I have to tell you that's on the path-to-failure roadmap It ain't the way to no goals, it's the chokehold slow tap The gist of this is to keep submissive and broke rap Another poison message you holdin' precious 'cause your toe tap That's how a lame floss 'til the brain loss from the growin' plaque You say it's safe and play the eighth, can't replace what your soul lack It's a shared struggle that we all go through Don't be the weapon they use to harm you Man, it's a shared struggle that we all go through Don't be the weapon they use to harm you Then it's pussy this, ass that, all that shit trash rap What started as empowerment, I'm feelin' now it's past that Yes, I'm with sexual expression, if any tryna lash back But this proper prostitution, always askin' where the cash at You sure you sellin' me melody, you keep tellin' me your ass fat? Or are you just a succubus, wanna suck us 'til the stash tapped? Don't get it twist, I like a pretty miss with a vast gyatt This a crazy world, don't put our baby girls on the fast track Then it's gun this, gang that, son, the most profane rap It's just a lot of bored noise that got our boys layin' flat Still a must, "stop killing us" should be the main pact For our mothers' good, choose brotherhood, bang that Had enough of every tussle, seein' muscles, where the brains at? You wanna hurt, those that do us dirt should be the aim, black FBI and Klan kills your leaders, when y'all gon' pay 'em back? If that's how we move, then I'm smooth, y'all can stay intact It's a shared struggle that we all go through Don't be the weapon they use to harm you Man, it's a shared struggle that we all go through Don't be the weapon they use to harm you If you listen to what Black people are singing religiously It is a clue as to what is happening to them sociologically Our music mirrors what is happening to us
