[00:53.20]I'mma deal with a bigger insult, man
[00:55.70]
[00:56.70]The heat, the heat, the heat, the heat
[00:59.10]
[00:59.30]It's comin' down hard
[01:00.40]We've got to get our shit together
[01:03.10]It's time to go left and not right
[01:05.70]Gotta get it together forever
[01:07.90]Gotta get it together for brothers
[01:10.30]Gotta get it together for sisters
[01:12.60]For mothers and fathers and dead niggas
[01:15.00]For non-conformists, one hitter quitters
[01:17.00]For Tyson types and Che figures
[01:19.50]Let's get it together, come on let's make it
[01:21.90]Gotta make it to make it, to make it, to make it, to make it
[01:23.90]To make something happen, to make something happen
[01:26.10]To make something happen, let's make something happen
[01:28.40]Word to Phifer
[01:29.00]Gonna bring it to the overlord, drinkin' Cisco
[01:31.20]Chilling with the gold microphone cords
[01:33.00]And we grip our balls every time we stuntin' on tour
[01:35.30]'Cause we never bore, responding to the ready crowd's roar
[01:37.70]And promoters try to hit us with the art of war
[01:39.70]We about our business, we not quitters
[01:41.20]Not bullshitters, we deliver—we go-get it
[01:43.00]Don't be bitter 'cause we not just niggas
[01:44.90]Jarobi, my fiber wove into different cloth
[01:46.80]Ain't nothing forbidden, this nigga get his written off
[01:49.30]Hardest spit in the city y'all niggas spitting kitten soft
[01:51.40]Confused and amazed, shook up with your brain missing lost
[01:53.80]They planning for our future
[01:54.80]None of our people involved
[01:56.20]Pouring Henny and Smirnoff to get it cracking off
[01:58.50]Cracking off a Smirnoff to quickly turn to Molotov
[02:00.90]Molotov the spaceship doors before that bitch is taking off
[02:03.20]It always seems the poorest persons
[02:04.60]Are people forsaken, dawg
[02:05.60]No Washingtons, Jeffersons, Jacksons
[02:07.10]On the captain's log
[02:07.90]They'd rather lead us to the grayest water poison deadly smog
[02:10.30]Mass un-blackening, it's happening, you feel it y'all?
[02:12.60]Rather see we in a three-by-three structure with many bars
[02:15.10]Leave us where we are so they can play among the stars
[02:17.20]They taking off to Mars, got the space vessels overflowing
[02:19.70]What, you think they want us there? All us niggas not going
[02:22.00]Reputation ain't glowing, reparations ain't flowing
[02:24.30]If you find yourself stuck in a creek, you better start rowing
[02:26.70]Used to see the TV screen as the place to land my dream in
[02:29.20]And the car stereo where they would promote the show
[02:31.40]Optimistic little brother with a hope you know
[02:33.60]There ain't a space program for niggas
[02:35.30]Yeah, you stuck here, nigga
[02:36.60](Move on to the stars)
[02:38.20]There ain't a space program for niggas
[02:39.90]Yeah, you stuck here nigga
[02:41.30](Move on to the stars)
[02:42.90]There ain't a space program for niggas
[02:44.80]Yeah, you stuck here, nigga
[02:46.00](Move on to the stars)
[02:47.50]There ain't a space program for niggas
[02:49.30]Yeah, you stuck, stuck, stuck
[02:50.80](Move on to the stars)
[02:53.70]
[03:09.00]Sit and wonder sometimes, I read the paper every day
[03:11.70]All these happenings is cycular, just happen different ways
[03:14.10]And the president's refined, in her wing she's confined
[03:16.40]With about thirty Percocets and five bottles of wine
[03:18.70]Carolina nothing finer than a Black woman who climbs
[03:21.10]To the top of the State building claiming that that flag is mine
[03:23.50]Now, people on top of people, feels like we can't breathe
[03:25.90]Put so much in this muthafucka, feel like we shouldn't leave
[03:28.30]Put it on TV, put it in movies, put it in our face
[03:30.60]These notions and ideas and citizens live in space
[03:32.90]I chuckle just like all of y'all, absurdity, after all
[03:35.50]Takes money to get it running and money for trees to fall
[03:37.90]Imagine for one second all the people are colored, please
[03:40.20]Imagine for one second all the people in poverty
[03:42.50]No matter the skin tone, culture or time zone
[03:44.90]Think the ones who got it
[03:45.90]Would even think to throw you a bone?
[03:47.70]Moved you out your neighbourhood, did they find you a home?
[03:49.90]Nah cypher, probably no place to
[03:52.00]Imagine if this shit was really talkin' about space, dude
[03:54.40]Imagine if this shit was really talkin' about space, dude
[03:56.70]Imagine if this shit was really talkin' about space, dude
[03:59.80]
[04:01.80]Time to go left and not right
[04:04.30]Gotta get it together forever
[04:06.70]Gotta get it together for brothers
[04:09.00]Gotta get it together for sisters
[04:11.30]For mothers and fathers and dead niggas
[04:13.60]For non-conformers, won't hear the quitters
[04:16.00]For Tyson types and Che figures
