They don't know their language They don't know their God They take what their given Even whan it feels Odd They say their grandfathers and grandmothers work hard for nothing And we still in this ghetto So they end up in prisons They end up in blood
They keep us uneducated, Sick and depressed (they end up in blood) Doctor I'm addicted now I'm under arrest (they end up in blood) We makin' mo' money than a muthaf**ka (they end up in blood) With no choices there's no hope for us (they end up in blood) [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/e/erykah_badu/twinkle.html ] Started with a rhyme from old ancent times Decedents of warlocks, Witches with ill glitches Children of the matrix be hittin' them car switches Seen some Virgin Virgos hanging out with Venus Bitches
Cause They don't know their language They don't know their God They take what their given Even whan it feels Odd They say their grandfathers and grandmothers work hard for nothing And we still in this ghetto So they end up in prisons They end up in blood They keep us uneducated, Sick and depressed (they end up in blood) Doctor I'm addicted now I'm under arrest (they end up in blood) We makin' mo' money than a muthaf**ka (they end up in blood) With no choices there's no hope for us (they end up in blood)
