00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:55.700
I'mma deal with a bigger insult, man
00:00:56.700 --> 00:00:59.100
The heat, the heat, the heat, the heat
00:00:59.300 --> 00:01:00.300
It's comin' down hard
00:01:00.400 --> 00:01:03.000
We've got to get our shit together
00:01:03.100 --> 00:01:05.600
It's time to go left and not right
00:01:05.700 --> 00:01:07.800
Gotta get it together forever
00:01:07.900 --> 00:01:10.200
Gotta get it together for brothers
00:01:10.300 --> 00:01:12.500
Gotta get it together for sisters
00:01:12.600 --> 00:01:14.900
For mothers and fathers
and dead niggas
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:16.900
For non-conformists,
one hitter quitters
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:19.400
For Tyson types and Che figures
00:01:19.500 --> 00:01:21.800
Let's get it together,
come on let's make it
00:01:21.900 --> 00:01:23.800
Gotta make it to make it, to make
it, to make it, to make it
00:01:23.900 --> 00:01:26.000
To make something happen,
to make something happen
00:01:26.100 --> 00:01:28.300
To make something happen, let's
make something happen
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:28.900
Word to Phifer
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:31.100
Gonna bring it to the overlord,
drinkin' Cisco
00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:32.900
Chilling with the gold
microphone cords
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:35.200
And we grip our balls every
time we stuntin' on tour
00:01:35.300 --> 00:01:37.600
'Cause we never bore, responding
to the ready crowd's roar
00:01:37.700 --> 00:01:39.600
And promoters try to hit
us with the art of war
00:01:39.700 --> 00:01:41.100
We about our business, we not quitters
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:42.900
Not bullshitters, we deliver—we
go-get it
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:44.800
Don't be bitter 'cause
we not just niggas
00:01:44.900 --> 00:01:46.700
Jarobi, my fiber wove
into different cloth
00:01:46.800 --> 00:01:49.200
Ain't nothing forbidden, this
nigga get his written off
00:01:49.300 --> 00:01:51.300
Hardest spit in the city y'all
niggas spitting kitten soft
00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:53.700
Confused and amazed, shook up
with your brain missing lost
00:01:53.800 --> 00:01:54.700
They planning for our future
00:01:54.800 --> 00:01:56.100
None of our people involved
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:58.400
Pouring Henny and Smirnoff
to get it cracking off
00:01:58.500 --> 00:02:00.800
Cracking off a Smirnoff to
quickly turn to Molotov
00:02:00.900 --> 00:02:03.100
Molotov the spaceship doors before
that bitch is taking off
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:04.500
It always seems the poorest persons
00:02:04.600 --> 00:02:05.500
Are people forsaken, dawg
00:02:05.600 --> 00:02:07.000
No Washingtons, Jeffersons, Jacksons
00:02:07.100 --> 00:02:07.800
On the captain's log
00:02:07.900 --> 00:02:10.200
They'd rather lead us to the grayest
water poison deadly smog
00:02:10.300 --> 00:02:12.500
Mass un-blackening, it's happening,
you feel it y'all?
00:02:12.600 --> 00:02:15.000
Rather see we in a three-by-three
structure with many bars
00:02:15.100 --> 00:02:17.100
Leave us where we are so they
can play among the stars
00:02:17.200 --> 00:02:19.600
They taking off to Mars, got the
space vessels overflowing
00:02:19.700 --> 00:02:21.900
What, you think they want us there?
All us niggas not going
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:24.200
Reputation ain't glowing, reparations
ain't flowing
00:02:24.300 --> 00:02:26.600
If you find yourself stuck in a
creek, you better start rowing
00:02:26.700 --> 00:02:29.100
Used to see the TV screen as the
place to land my dream in
00:02:29.200 --> 00:02:31.300
And the car stereo where they
would promote the show
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:33.500
Optimistic little brother
with a hope you know
00:02:33.600 --> 00:02:35.200
There ain't a space program for niggas
00:02:35.300 --> 00:02:36.500
Yeah, you stuck here, nigga
00:02:36.600 --> 00:02:38.100
(Move on to the stars)
00:02:38.200 --> 00:02:39.800
There ain't a space program for niggas
00:02:39.900 --> 00:02:41.200
Yeah, you stuck here nigga
00:02:41.300 --> 00:02:42.800
(Move on to the stars)
00:02:42.900 --> 00:02:44.700
There ain't a space program for niggas
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:45.900
Yeah, you stuck here, nigga
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:47.400
(Move on to the stars)
00:02:47.500 --> 00:02:49.200
There ain't a space program for niggas
00:02:49.300 --> 00:02:50.700
Yeah, you stuck, stuck, stuck
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:53.700
(Move on to the stars)
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:11.600
Sit and wonder sometimes, I
read the paper every day
00:03:11.700 --> 00:03:14.000
All these happenings is cycular,
just happen different ways
00:03:14.100 --> 00:03:16.300
And the president's refined,
in her wing she's confined
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:18.600
With about thirty Percocets
and five bottles of wine
00:03:18.700 --> 00:03:21.000
Carolina nothing finer than
a Black woman who climbs
00:03:21.100 --> 00:03:23.400
To the top of the State building
claiming that that flag is mine
00:03:23.500 --> 00:03:25.800
Now, people on top of people,
feels like we can't breathe
00:03:25.900 --> 00:03:28.200
Put so much in this muthafucka,
feel like we shouldn't leave
00:03:28.300 --> 00:03:30.500
Put it on TV, put it in movies,
put it in our face
00:03:30.600 --> 00:03:32.800
These notions and ideas and
citizens live in space
00:03:32.900 --> 00:03:35.400
I chuckle just like all of y'all,
absurdity, after all
00:03:35.500 --> 00:03:37.800
Takes money to get it running
and money for trees to fall
00:03:37.900 --> 00:03:40.100
Imagine for one second all the
people are colored, please
00:03:40.200 --> 00:03:42.400
Imagine for one second all
the people in poverty
00:03:42.500 --> 00:03:44.800
No matter the skin tone,
culture or time zone
00:03:44.900 --> 00:03:45.800
Think the ones who got it
00:03:45.900 --> 00:03:47.600
Would even think to throw you a bone?
00:03:47.700 --> 00:03:49.800
Moved you out your neighbourhood,
did they find you a home?
00:03:49.900 --> 00:03:51.900
Nah cypher, probably no place to
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:54.300
Imagine if this shit was really
talkin' about space, dude
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:56.600
Imagine if this shit was really
talkin' about space, dude
00:03:56.700 --> 00:03:59.800
Imagine if this shit was really
talkin' about space, dude
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:04.200
Time to go left and not right
00:04:04.300 --> 00:04:06.600
Gotta get it together forever
00:04:06.700 --> 00:04:08.900
Gotta get it together for brothers
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:11.200
Gotta get it together for sisters
00:04:11.300 --> 00:04:13.500
For mothers and fathers
and dead niggas
00:04:13.600 --> 00:04:15.900
For non-conformers, won't
hear the quitters
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:18.100
For Tyson types and Che figu...........
