[Chorus: repeat 2X]
|
|
I wanna talk to the mayor, the governor, the motherfuckin president
|
I wanna talk to the FBI, and the CIA, and the motherfuckin congressman
|
|
[Nas]
|
Step up to the White House let me in
|
Whats my reason for being I'm ya next to kin
|
And we built this motherfucker
|
You wanna kill me because my hunger?
|
Mr. America young black niggaz want ya
|
I wanna talk to the man understand
|
Understand this motherfuckin G-pack in my hand
|
Look what happened to San Fran young girl hit by policeman
|
Twelve shots up in her dome, damn
|
Niggaz thought we slept but the architect sent
|
The Pentagon's from Egypt, government secret
|
The 99 to 2-G computer shutdown, what now
|
Extension on Earth, human cutdown
|
Niggaz play with PlayStations, they build a spacestations
|
On Mars plottin civilizations
|
Dissin us discriminatin different racisis
|
Tax payers pay for more jail for black latin faces
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Nas]
|
I'm just a black man why y'all made it so hard damn
|
Niggaz gotta go create their own job
|
Mr. Mayor imagine if this was your backyard
|
Mr. Governor imagine if it was your kids that starved
|
Imagine your kids gotta sling crack to survive
|
Swing a mack to be live cart ack to get high
|
It's the ghetto life yea I celebrate it I live it
|
And all I got is what you left me with I'ma get it
|
Now y'all combinin all the countries we goin do the same
|
Combine all the cliques to make one gang
|
It ain't all about a black and white thing
|
it's to make the change, citizens of a higher plane
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Nas]
|
What y'all waitin for the world to blow up
|
Before you hear this rewind this 4 minutes before we timeless
|
Let y'all niggas bang my shit before ? is
|
The Nastradamus tell us what time it is
|
They try to buy us with doe
|
Fake black leaders of puppets always talking bout the city budget
|
The news got it all confused lyin to the public
|
They eyes watchin stay wise move above it
|
Water floods predicted hurricanes twisters
|
Its all signs of the Armageddon three sixes
|
People reverse the system politics verse religion
|
Holy war muslim verse christians
|
Niggaz in high places they don't have the balls for this
|
People in power sit back and watch them slaughter us
|
Mr. President I assume it was negligence
|
The streets upside down, I'm here to represent this
|
|
[Chorus 2X]
|
|
[Nas]
|
Can I talk to you Mr. President
|
Niggaz tryin to get with the computers
|
We ain't John Henry
|
Banging down machines and shit
|
Part of establishment
|
That's what we are steppin up for
|
This shit is real
|
|
Total Package in this nigga
|

|

|
Mr. President wanna keep us from establishment
|

|
