1
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:12,800
Streets, streets
2
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:17,600
Livin' in the streets
3
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,700
Street livin', caught in the trap
4
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,100
Guns or books, sell crack or rap
5
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,250
Be like kings or be like pawns
6
00:00:28,300 --> 00:00:31,000
They called us coons, now
they call us cons
7
00:00:31,100 --> 00:00:33,300
Street niggas be packing pistols
8
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,700
Terrorists be blasting missiles
9
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,050
Crips and Bloods and retail thugs
10
00:00:38,100 --> 00:00:40,500
CIA planes bring Colombian drugs in
11
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,600
Don't push me 'cause I'm close to hell
12
00:00:42,700 --> 00:00:44,950
The teachers in my neighborhood
can hardly spell
13
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,300
And compare to them, prison
guards get paid well
14
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,700
Ten years no bail is 4 years at Yale
15
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,000
So, forget about the statue
of General Lee
16
00:00:52,100 --> 00:00:54,500
Because the status of
Blacks are generally
17
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:56,800
Gonna end up in some penitentiary
18
00:00:56,900 --> 00:00:59,300
Systematically, that's how
they made it to be
19
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,000
Listen, they derailed the soul train
20
00:01:02,100 --> 00:01:04,300
And put a nightmare in every
Martin Luther King
21
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,600
And privatized prisons
are owned by the same
22
00:01:06,700 --> 00:01:09,100
Slave masters that owned
the slave trade game
23
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,400
And racists no longer
have to be racist
24
00:01:11,500 --> 00:01:14,100
'Cause niggas kill more niggas
than the KKK did
25
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,200
Now, every time I hear a new def jam
26
00:01:16,300 --> 00:01:18,900
Niggas killing niggas like
they Ku Klux Klan
27
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,900
I understand what's a nigga to choose?
28
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,700
Be the killer or be the
dead dude in the news
29
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,500
I get it, what's a nigga to do?
30
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,600
No education in the hood
got a nigga confused
31
00:01:28,700 --> 00:01:30,900
Street livin', tough conditions
32
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,300
Brainwashed by the television
33
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,700
We lost in the war we live in
34
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,100
Double cross, love lost, no religion
35
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,100
Street livin', oh my gosh
36
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,700
Another brother got shot by the searg'
37
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,200
Another cop got off with no charge
38
00:01:45,300 --> 00:01:47,700
If you black in the hood, you at large
39
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,000
You're guilty until you
prove you're innocent
40
00:01:50,100 --> 00:01:52,200
If you're ivory, they
treat you different
41
00:01:52,300 --> 00:01:54,700
If you're ebony, they assume
your temperament
42
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,300
Will be vigilant and they
call you militant
43
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,400
And you'll get shot and they'll
say the incident
44
00:01:59,500 --> 00:02:02,100
Is 'cause you're belligerent,
what a coincidence?
45
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,300
Born and bred but you're
still an immigrant
46
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,600
And if you ain't dead, you
can see imprisonment
47
00:02:07,700 --> 00:02:11,800
There's more niggas in the
prisons than there ever was
slaves cotton picking
48
00:02:11,900 --> 00:02:16,500
There's more niggas t...........
