《Street Corner》歌词

[00:00:01] Street Corner- Masta Killa

[00:00:01] Looking on various street corners

[00:00:03] I'm sure you've seen it yourself

[00:00:05] Standing on the corner is an alleged brother

[00:00:09] Dressed in blue or green red and black

[00:00:13] And starting the news that the revolution is coming

[00:00:17] And you better get ready sort of like

[00:00:19] The end of the world is coming unfortunetly

[00:00:21] The world is just gonna drag on and on

[00:00:24] And we have a poem that we've written particularly

[00:00:28] For the brothers on the street corners

[00:00:30] When the revolution come you can see me on the front line

[00:00:34] Firing my gun standing right beside my son

[00:00:36] If I go it's understood that I stood for something

[00:00:39] When my whole life they told me I was good for nothing

[00:00:42] I was raised by the stray dogs blazed off layed off

[00:00:46] Breaking laws graveyard shifting every day war

[00:00:49] Focus now notice how things change soldier

[00:00:52] I remain the same I'm older now I embrace the pain

[00:00:55] I blame the struggle nearly drove me insane

[00:00:58] Thought I lost my head til my brethren told me the same

[00:01:01] No tears for the reaper I've buried bout a thousand

[00:01:04] In graffiti "rest in peace" sprayed off throughout the housing

[00:01:08] I tried to stay civilized the hood's a prison inside

[00:01:11] The only difference is the doors don't slide

[00:01:13] Still we trapped in the animal cage cuz we got animal ways

[00:01:17] So we react with the animal rage

[00:01:19] And my sex is real weapons peel cheddar's the deal

[00:01:23] Seen the depths of hell now I stare death in the grill

[00:01:26] From the slave ships to today's bricks same shit

[00:01:29] I'm awake to the wickedness and one with the pavement

[00:01:32] The all great mind stays divine my hands remain deadly

[00:01:35] We shine without the hung jewelry produce light

[00:01:38] That'll travel through mics now as the time riping

[00:01:42] We took words that we nourishing encouriging

[00:01:44] A nation to awaken those who were sleeping

[00:01:48] Can you conceive the thought Transatlantic import

[00:01:52] Slave and bought cheaper relations between blacks & jews

[00:01:55] Might set a fuse off in the head many dead

[00:01:58] Lynch hung swung from trees

[00:02:00] Brothers in the struggle together eat from one pot

[00:02:03] Hold each other down to the sneaker nothing come between us

[00:02:06] Fast money and chicks did it to the best of flicks

[00:02:10] It's sickening huh

[00:02:16] It's me and you son forever in the struggle

[00:02:19] No doubt we hustle survival is the motto

[00:02:22] Will you soon follow a better tomorrow for a better tomorrow

[00:02:28] It's me and you son forever in the struggle

[00:02:31] No doubt we hustle survival is the motto

[00:02:34] Will you soon follow a better tomorrow for a better tomorrow

[00:02:40] I catch a few flashbacks about going through the struggle

[00:02:43] How we used to make dollars from all the snow we shoveled

[00:02:46] In a broke neighborhood where the kids often dream

[00:02:50] About a laverage life that is mostly seen in the screen

[00:02:53] Where some dreams are quickly cut short due to gang violence

[00:02:56] From loud guns that kept witnesses in deep silence

[00:02:59] Was it bad timing jealousy from too much shining

[00:03:02] Or a set up from a girl that he wined kept dining

[00:03:05] It's a known fact they will attack cuz it's like that

[00:03:08] And depending on the kind of impact that strike back

[00:03:11] In a town where the talk is cheap and beef is brief

[00:03:14] A mother sobs uncontrollably and exhibit the grief

[00:03:17] Large holes in the front door of a housing tenement

[00:03:21] Allows room to retaliate so conflict is imminent

[00:03:24] This hate in the brain destroys the cells like cancer

[00:03:27] Even experts are stuck with more questions than answers
