00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.000
by RentAnAdviser.com
00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:12.800
Streets, streets
00:00:16.200 --> 00:00:17.600
Livin' in the streets
00:00:21.400 --> 00:00:23.700
Street livin', caught in the trap
00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:26.100
Guns or books, sell crack or rap
00:00:26.200 --> 00:00:28.250
Be like kings or be like pawns
00:00:28.300 --> 00:00:31.000
They called us coons, now
they call us cons
00:00:31.100 --> 00:00:33.300
Street niggas be packing pistols
00:00:33.400 --> 00:00:35.700
Terrorists be blasting missiles
00:00:35.800 --> 00:00:38.050
Crips and Bloods and retail thugs
00:00:38.100 --> 00:00:40.500
CIA planes bring Colombian drugs in
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:42.600
Don't push me 'cause I'm close to hell
00:00:42.700 --> 00:00:44.950
The teachers in my neighborhood
can hardly spell
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:47.300
And compare to them, prison
guards get paid well
00:00:47.400 --> 00:00:49.700
Ten years no bail is 4 years at Yale
00:00:49.800 --> 00:00:52.000
So, forget about the statue
of General Lee
00:00:52.100 --> 00:00:54.500
Because the status of
Blacks are generally
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:56.800
Gonna end up in some penitentiary
00:00:56.900 --> 00:00:59.300
Systematically, that's how
they made it to be
00:00:59.400 --> 00:01:02.000
Listen, they derailed the soul train
00:01:02.100 --> 00:01:04.300
And put a nightmare in every
Martin Luther King
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:06.600
And privatized prisons
are owned by the same
00:01:06.700 --> 00:01:09.100
Slave masters that owned
the slave trade game
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:11.400
And racists no longer
have to be racist
00:01:11.500 --> 00:01:14.100
'Cause niggas kill more niggas
than the KKK did
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:16.200
Now, every time I hear a new def jam
00:01:16.300 --> 00:01:18.900
Niggas killing niggas like
they Ku Klux Klan
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:20.900
I understand what's a nigga to choose?
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:23.700
Be the killer or be the
dead dude in the news
00:01:23.800 --> 00:01:25.500
I get it, what's a nigga to do?
00:01:25.600 --> 00:01:28.600
No education in the hood
got a nigga confused
00:01:28.700 --> 00:01:30.900
Street livin', tough conditions
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:33.300
Brainwashed by the television
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:35.700
We lost in the war we live in
00:01:35.800 --> 00:01:38.100
Double cross, love lost, no religion
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:40.100
Street livin', oh my gosh
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:42.700
Another brother got shot by the searg'
00:01:42.800 --> 00:01:45.200
Another cop got off with no charge
00:01:45.300 --> 00:01:47.700
If you black in the hood, you at large
00:01:47.800 --> 00:01:50.000
You're guilty until you
prove you're innocent
00:01:50.100 --> 00:01:52.200
If you're ivory, they
treat you different
00:01:52.300 --> 00:01:54.700
If you're ebony, they assume
your temperament
00:01:54.800 --> 00:01:57.300
Will be vigilant and they
call you militant
00:01:57.400 --> 00:01:59.400
And you'll get shot and they'll
say the incident
00:01:59.500 --> 00:02:02.100
Is 'cause you're belligerent,
what a coincidence?
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:04.300
Born and bred but you're
still an immigrant
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:07.600
And if you ain't dead, you
can see imprisonment
00:02:07.700 --> 00:02:11.800
There's more niggas in the
prisons than there ever was
slaves cotton picking
00:02:11.900 --> 00:02:16.500
There's more...........
