Intro Chill We got to make our own job & hire our own like the mob Or we'll just keep getting robbed & exploited So you can't complain if things don't change, you got to do 4 self.
The maker and the owner, The father civilising his tribe before it's over. Smoking like a broken toaster We shine like supernovas. Studyin' war like we supposed ta' Put us on your wall like a Black Power poster Protecting our Cosa Nostra the new thang Keep it in the fam' like Wu-Tang And unify U&I with T-Y Whether I gotta die or sell a bean pie Still gotta try To save my own, since the day I atoned Let be known...
You can find me kickin' facts in the same spot you buy your crack & your dime sacs at In the background of a car jack, that's where I be at In the depthness of black we devise our attack on tracks To counteract the madness Cuz now we use storytelling backwards to glamorize slackness You'd die ten times. Were you to practice what you preach? For blaspheming, wash your mouth with bleach. Capitalising on Free Speach with nothing to teach And I make the criminal life seem sweet. You didn't smile that much on the street And real thugs know not to repeat As you grimly sow, I grim reap. Capish! We settle it civilise degenerates Teach'em etiquette, infiltrate your premises Under false pretenses relentlessly I emcee For those who strategize like me, God. They'd rather free O.J. than Mumia. My love is one in a million just like Aaliyah. Monopolism the speaker, the teacher Eboneazer or Miz Who the fuck is gonna raise a beautiful black kid? Cuz I gotta give the negative stats The evident facts, is Niggaz gotta adapt, Black! They got us trapped like Tupac with AIDS & crack Even when I rap, gotta kill that Black on Black It's like that (Tabarnac).
