rate me(feat. Dice Raw, P.O.R.N., Talib Kweli)<br />
<br />
[Chorus: (Dice Raw) Talib Kweli]<br />
(I will not apologize) I will not apologize<br />
(I will not apologize) I will not apologize<br />
This is for all of my peoples who understand and truly recognize<br />
Some won't get it for that I won't<br />
(I will not apologize) I will not apologize<br />
(I will not apologize) I will not apologize<br />
This is for all of my peoples who understand and truly recognize<br />
Some won't get it for that I won't apologize<br />
<br />
[P.O.R.N.]<br />
I'm so sick cause I'm infected but but I don't need a medic<br />
Need a liquid anesthetic, let me show you how I get it<br />
I don't got it but I bet it, I don't worry, I don't sweat it<br />
You can bitch, you can dead it, you can take it there like FedEx<br />
Nothing sweet diabetic, big dog can't pet it<br />
Pack an L then I wet it then I fill it till it's pregnant<br />
(Take the high back) face it everybody got a favorite<br />
I embrace it like I date it but my grandma think I chase it<br />
(Like oh yeah) I told her that her baby moving slower<br />
Cuz the world is on his shoulders then I woke up out that coma<br />
(And got right back) at it with a little black 'matic<br />
Lay you down craft-matic, then I'm gone, black magic<br />
(To the hideout) you don't want to gamble with the devil<br />
Especially when them chewy blueys got me on another level<br />
Cuz my teacher think I'm slow but my momma think I'm special<br />
But even she know I'm coming back like an echo.<br />
<br />
[Chorus: (Dice Raw) Talib Kweli]<br />
<br />
[Dice Raw]<br />
For the statements I'm about to make I will not apologize<br />
Niggas talk a lot of shit, really need to stop the lies<br />
Jewels rented, cars rented, homie that ain't authentic<br />
Acting tough on TV but to me you seem a little timid<br />
Don't blame the nigga, blame America, it's all business<br />
Acting like a monkey is the only way to sell tickets<br />
Shit I can dig it, niggas gossip silly digits<br />
White kids buy it, it's a riot when we talking about pimping<br />
Or sipping on old English brew or whatever they think we do<br />
Spraying double Uzis cuz you know they think we live in zoos<br />
The problem is with this everyone seems to be real confused<br />
The niggas on the streets to the old people that watch the news<br />
And watch BET and the crazy shit they see<br />
They associate with you do the same shit to me<br />
When you look at me you see just a nigga from the projects<br />
But can't understand this nigga's mind set but still<br />
<br />
[Chorus: (Dice Raw) Talib Kweli]<br />
<br />
[Black Thought]<br />
Yo, a revolution's what it's smelling like, it ain't going be televised<br />
Governments is hellified, taking cake and selling pies<br />
I ain't got a crust or crumb, to get some I'd be well obliged<br />
Murder is comodified, felon for the second time<br />
Never was I into chasing trouble I was followed by<br />
Facing trouble with no alibi, had to swallow pride<br />
Vilified, victimized, penalized, criticized<br />
Ran into some people that's surprised I was still alive<br />
Look into my daughter's eyes, wonder how can I provide<br />
Got to get from A to B but how can I afford to drive? <br />
Messed around, tried to get a job and wasn't qualified<br />
Had to see a pal of mine, got to get the lightning rod<br />
Now I'm in the black Impala looking for the dollar sign<br />
Palms get the itching man I got to get the calamine<br />
Before I fall behind, guess the grind will be my 9 to 5<br />
I will not be conquered by, I will not apologize<br />
<br />
[Chorus: (Dice Raw) Talib Kweli]
