Every time I look around, I see so much drama goin' down Every time I look around, I see so much fakeness goin' down
Why I'ma, be stingy when I can share? Why I'ma, be hateful if I could care? Why would I hate my own, and forsake my home? Why would I fuck around and get a jake my chrome?
I wouldn't have to stick you if we all could eat It wouldn't be no need for beef, dyin' over streets We don't even own anyway, you could get bucked off any day We behind enemy lines, y'all still writin' Hennessey rhymes
While I'm tryin' to get a good price for a nine Feel like my life on the line That's why a nigga be hype all the time Ready for the revolution at the drop of a dime
I got a duty to have security for my niggas A duty to serve the beautiful black sisters A duty tom stand wit anybody that's wit us And fully criticize all bullshitters
There should be awards presented, to niggas who fight back Like Panther jackets, or sisters who like gats I'm a full blooded warrior, ready for change Recognize any soldier that's doin' the same
Because I love who I am, and that means everything to me My life ain't worth a damn unless I'm dealin' with reality When I look myself in the eyes it's just me And I ain't gotta tell nobody no lies I feel free
And I would rather deal with the truth than falsehood Than being fake with my people and claimin' it's all good You can't run away from yourself so that's useless If your word is bond then you don't have to make excuses
Every time I look around, I see so much drama goin' down Every time I look around, I see so much fakeness goin' down
Yo, as I sit and contemplate about the fate of my kids If I die is the state gon snatch up my kids? City life, no choice but to live by the knife Put food on the table at whatever the price
My beautiful wife, all the time cookin' precise When there ain't no meat, she bless me with the eggs and the rice Never think twice, I love you for the rest of my life That's why I taught you how to shoot when situations get trife
Save the children from the evil that we smell in the air Used to being happy, now the feelin' is rare I'ma soldier in the struggle just tryin' to prepare 'Cuz when the revolution comes it ain't gon be fair
Yo, it's the Beatnuts, Dead Prez, we connect like Tetris And we comin' at the world on some Malcolm X shit So turn it up, so we can drop these gems quick If you on some bullshit, then nigga hit the exit
There's enough cash, grass, and ass here for you and me You wanna be greedy, sayin fuck the community Watch out 'cuz life's gonna change very soon you see I really don't believe we could ever have unity
This shit is serious we all tryin' to have a milli stash But love life 'cuz that's all a nigga really has Love your fam, 'cuz that's all you really have And handle your biz and stop bein' a silly ass
Ayo, it's gettin', gettin', it's gettin', gettin' It's gettin' kinda hectic, slugs burn, so naturally thugs Learn to stay vested, you need to learn a psycho lesson And treat others the same way you wanna be respected, because
Every time I look around, I see so much drama goin' down Every time I look around, I see so much fakeness goin' down
