Now, I was told to never bite off more then I could chew. But then you
|
better bite enough for if you don't my boy your blue. Now I wonder,
|
can
|
others see the system that I see or do they see and say they blame it
|
on
|
society. The days of smart enough come to over, just say thousands.
|
And
|
as I live and learn because there's always someone mouthing. Speaking
|
on
|
an issue. Praise you or they dis you. Lawnge as strong, they fly by me
|
like Scott tissue. My people, from nigger to negro to man or color,
|
killed my father and my brother so that you could rape my mother. Now
|
you wonder, why is it through instinct you fear. Wouldn't dare me to
|
stare. One for yourself, your out of here. Not to worry, to harm your
|
intention of my creed. But to stop your greed and give me what I need.
|
Opportunity, for a life of me. And generations to come with in
|
tranquility. Now harmony, is a total love of things. For those who are
|
inclined or better yet like to sing. But piece of mind it is my right
|
for the spark will ignite. 'Till I can catch a cab at the town at
|
midnight. 'Till I can be myself and not be thought as worse. 'Till I
|
can
|
buy a slice from Howard Beach to the Hearse. 'Till I can get the pill
|
without fear of eject. And occupations which I seek I can have if I
|
select. Now if I so select and reach out to make touch. How can you
|
say
|
that I ask for too much.
|
Chorus
|
Don't speak to me if good times are granted 'till I be
|
Don't tell me of the countries or the hours that you seek
|
Don't tell me to keep trying, you know I won't agree
|
Double negative means positively black with N.V.
|
As a player of the game, of the lifetime game I am playing. I bet your
|
nodding, shake your head to what I am saying. It's keep then but those
|
of men color of skin could even begin to wonder, what is it to ponder
|
to
|
let another bother. Listen, stay open not dismissing. Lack of vision
|
makes division product no ambition. Wishes which you wish upon which
|
for
|
more you wishes, if I wish not to record steady now then I wash
|
dishes.
|
Wish while I wash, the water hot gets colder. Black I'm saying that in
|
fact the dish gets clean and I get older. Seemly so, the dishes will
|
grow to dishes far beyond me. Lost my wish and broke a dish so now I'm
|
wishy washy. Understand foundation. Create my own creation. If dumb
|
and
|
pumping jump, then get no ovation. But only restriction, boom penes a
|
lot of friction. I then wash a dish with out pay. Boom! N.W.A. Think
|
I'm
|
lying, Black I'm crying, so the tear would turn to crystal. Crystals
|
forming on my dishes so I was until dismissal. Wash until my prints
|
are
|
wrinkled then they let me go. I know not where I'm going so I know not
|
where I go. My people give me money, but the money much to low for me
|
to
|
meet the match of present day so I still need some dough. Conjure up a
|
suit, I wish that it were cute. Borrow a token and a smoking I begin a
|
wish less hope. Intervening, application leads me on onto frustration
|
and duration of my time is spent with lack of occupation. Time to go
|
for
|
what I know. I know not of what I wish, but of soap and a towel and
|
some
|
water and a dish.
|
Chorus
|
But lay o.k. 'cause you can get the play. I pick your style, your
|
smile
|
shown bright about a mile away. But anyway, another day, in the land
|
of
|
shove just living in the life of who. A black man on a green land with
|
a
|
blue skyline. Don't tell me I'm color blind. I'm seeing system is hard
|
to believe in. Underneath the underside I'm underachieving. Bust my
|
ass
|
in school, to be a certified fool. Now intellect of curb is my only
|
tool. But street game is so uncouth. I took the SAT's and that's the
|
sad
|
ass truth. I'm not gliding but I'm striving hanging on by a thread and
|
it's called surviving. Hang on, hang on, hang you'all. Walk the street
|
and keep you head so tall. For time is short, no time is bought,
|
you're
|
only in the wrong if you get caught. So kick in doors, bang on walls,
|
shout in halls. Get yours. Get yours.
|
