How could you beat your woman till you see tears?
Got your children living in fear, How you gonna wash the blood from your hands? Selling debt to fiends Barely fifteens So you can have another option and rip off your dreams Tell me.. How you gonna wash the blood from your hands? You claim you're doing God's work Greet the family with a smile When all the while You been raping that child You a priest but you still can't Wash the blood from your hands. The self hate they create in your hair Got you pickin' up their weapons And leaving your brothers there, Tell me.. How you gonna wash the blood from your hands? I wonder what you gon' do When he comes for you Where you gon' run Once he calls for you Where you gonna hide The day he sends for you And he questions you I wonder what you gonna say When that day comes When judgement day comes I'm talking bout the sins you commit giving orders that permit, Killing innocent kids so you can fill your pockets Tell me how you gonna wash the blood from your hands? Now take a look at these project buildings They got us living in It's like we're raised in prison cos of the colour of our skin Now how you gonna wash the blood from your hands? The pharmaceutical industry need to get paid They're sitting on a cure Watching new born babies die of AIDS Tell me how you gonna wash the blood from your hands? How could you keep exploiting third world children Using them as underpaid slaves So you can make your millions How you gonna wash the blood from your hands? I wonder what you gon' do When he comes for you Where you gon' run Once he calls for you Where you gonna hide The day he sends for you And he questions you I wonder what you gonna say When that day comes When judgement day comes We sit and watch why people get hurt Stand to say nothing while they do the devil's work Walk straight by leave them crying in the dirt What kind of people does that make me n you? And we could have all the good intent But we sitting in silence We committing greed and violence Then we got blood on our hands too I wonder what you gon' do When he comes for you Where you gon' run Once he calls for you Where you gonna hide The day he sends for you And he questions you I wonder what you gonna say When that day comes When judgement day comes I wonder what you gon' do When he comes for you Where you gon' run Once he calls for you Where you gonna hide The day he sends for you And he questions you I wonder what you gonna say When that day comes When judgement day comes |

I spent 23 years trying to be what you wanted me to be
though it seemed like you couldn't save me 'til I picked up the mic and I was on the TV now you're ringing off my phone like every week where were you at 6,7,11 and 13 when shit was impossible Mama left nine months pregnant but she came home alone from the hospital How could you call yourself a man if you can't love your own unless you can contol them you'd rather destroy their souls and she was 13 years old and you could've protected the innocence from being stolen And I don't give a damn what you was going through when mama wasn't able to put food on the table You left the family unstable Now you come around acting like you want some kind of appraisal You can't play like you daddy now and you can't claim shit 'cause you weren't around And you can't get mad but what can you do? You can't tell me shit I'm grown without you I spent 23 years trying to be the f**king man you should be taking care of your responsibility putting clothes on our back and shoes on our feet no help but you always had your bag of weed where were you at 12,13, 14 and 15 when life was unliveable Momma was so damn angry the way she treated me was unforgiveable You call yourself a man your oldest son he had to learn from his sister How to put a niggers fist up, how to f**k a niggers shit up and knock out any motherf**ker that had come and tried to diss us And I don't give a damn what you was going through and I needed saving I spent my every second blazing a little girl with a blade and trying to f**k up and take my life just wanted to dig my grave and.. You can't play like you daddy now and you can't claim shit 'cause you weren't around And you can't get mad but what can you do? (now what you gonna do?) You can't tell me shit I'm grown without you You can't play like you daddy now and you can't claim shit 'cause you weren't around And you can't get mad but what can you do? (you can't do a damn thing) You can't tell me shit I'm grown without you I'm grown without you I've grown without you can't can't come and come and tell me, do not |

Imma tell it how it is and make no
Apology Black people, we our own worst enemy Jealousy, envy, so many frenamies Still got that house-nigga, field-nigga mentality We don't wanna see us rise to the top Smiling when we see a brother striving, then he drops Instead of helping him to succeed, get all that he can get We hating, contemplating, taking his jewels and his whip Shit you there paper-chasing, thinking it'll end your stress Cant buy self esteem, love not selflessness You can drive a million miles, in your Bentley like a star You can fly across the globe, but cant escape who you are And all this bragging and this boasting about the paper that you stack Cant achieve as a people unless back give back Think it aint your problem turn your back you hypocrite As long as poverty exists there'll be robbery of the rich Shit now listen... Chorus: This negativity got me ready to explode Its like were on animosity overload Were hustling the same hustle, down the same road But were on self-destructive mode Until we have unity we cant grow If we could let go and let the love flow We struggling the same struggle, down the same road But were on self-destructive mode Assasin's Verse: We still living in division applied when we were slaves Our ancestors are probably turning in their graves To see a brother, see another and just shoot him down Never did him no wrong he just form the other side of town And its foolish and senseless, I cant comprehend Sisters when we see our sisters why we face just a bend And we don't show love We don't pay no compliments We show hostility and cause enough commotion Shit now listen... Repeat Chorus Assasin's Verse: We aint fighting racism Or the injustice were shown We fighting in our homes And busy destroying our own Complaining about the white man And the way he make us live But plenty of us, in the street, selling crack to our kids And its so crazy and its ridiculous Take a look at what were doing Ignorance aint bliss Were so played by fear and insecurity That we destroying and exploiting our community Repeat Chorus Twice |
