rate me[riley singing]<br />
1999<br />
Beatnuts, dead prez<br />
<br />
Chorus:<br />
Everytime i look around, i see so much drama goin down<br />
Everytime i look around, i see sp much fakeness goin down<br />
<br />
[stic.man]<br />
Why i'ma, be stingy when i can share<br />
Why i'ma, be hateful if i could care<br />
Why would i hate my own, and forsake my home<br />
Why would i fuck around and get a jake my chrome<br />
I wouldn't have to stick you if we all could eat<br />
It wouldn't be no need for beef, dyin over streets<br />
We don't even own anyway, you could get bucked off any day<br />
We behind enemy lines, y'all still writin henessy rhymes<br />
While i'm tryin to get a good price for a nine<br />
Feel like my life on the line<br />
That's why a nigga be hype all the time<br />
Ready for the revolution at the drop of a dime<br />
<br />
[m1]<br />
I got a duty to have security for my niggas<br />
A duty to serve the beautiful black sisters<br />
A duty tom stand wit anybody that's wit us<br />
And fully criticize all bullshitters<br />
There should be awards presented, to niggas who fight back<br />
Like panther jackets, or sisters who like gats<br />
I'm a full blooded warrior, ready for change<br />
Recognize any soldier that's doin the same<br />
Because i love who i am, and that means everything to me<br />
My life aint worth a damn unless i'm dealin with reality<br />
When i look myself in the eyes it's just me<br />
And i aint gotta tell nobody no lies i feel free<br />
And i would rather deal with the truth than falsehood<br />
Than bein fake with my people and claimin it's all good<br />
You can't run away from yourself so that's useless<br />
If your word is bond then you don't have to make excuses<br />
<br />
Chorus<br />
<br />
[juju]<br />
Yo as i sit and contemplate about the fate of my kids<br />
If i die is the state gon snatch up my kids?<br />
City life, no choice but to live by the knife<br />
Put food on the table at whatever the price<br />
My beautiful wife, all the time cookin precise<br />
When there aint no meat, she bless me with the eggs and the rice<br />
Never think twice, i love you for the rest of my life<br />
That's why i taught you how to shoot when situations get trife<br />
Save the children from the evil that we smell in the air<br />
Used to bein happy, now the feelin is rare<br />
I'ma soldier in the struggle just tryin to prepare<br />
Cuz when the revolution comes it aint gon be fair<br />
<br />
[psycho les]<br />
Yo it's the beatnuts, dead prez, we connect like tetris<br />
And we comin at the world on some high connections<br />
So turn it up, so we can drop these gems quick<br />
If you on some bullshit, then nigga get the ?eggs split?<br />
There's enough cash, grass, and ass here for you and me<br />
You wanna be greedy, sayin fuck the community<br />
Watch out cuz life's gonna change very soon you see<br />
I really don't believe we could ever have unity<br />
This shit is serious we all tryin to have a milli stash<br />
But love life cuz that's all a nigga really has<br />
Love your fam, cuz that's all you really have<br />
And handle your biz and stop bein a silly ass<br />
Ayo it's gettin, gettin, it's gettin, gettin it's gettin kinda hectic<br />
Starch burns, so naturally thugs learn to stay vested<br />
You need to learn what psycho les said<br />
So treat others the same way if you wanna be respected<br />
<br />
Chorus
