[00:01:36] Cops walk the beat that I write to

[00:01:38] I teach minds write rhymes with the right sound

[00:01:41] Right now journalists write up

[00:01:42] I write down

[00:01:43] Party people put a hand in the sky

[00:01:45] Grab a cloud and squeeze til no man is dry

[00:01:47] We wet it up go ask the people

[00:01:56] The slaughter of the family why

[00:01:57] Do they make it so hard

[00:01:58] For a man to provide

[00:02:00] You better get wit it

[00:02:02] Or stand to the side

[00:02:23] And the story line goes on

[00:02:28] F**k the politics and pride

[00:02:30] I just to try to stay alive

[00:02:32] To witness where the battle lines are drawn

[00:02:35] Speak my mind and sing my song

[00:02:38] I'm passin on the moral y'all

[00:02:41] This is ain't play

[00:02:44] True you got to know the way

[00:02:53] See hopeful lives

[00:02:56] Sing it now

[00:02:58] Making my way through life

[00:03:23] Talking to elders and taking advice

[00:03:25] Ignoring their words and paying the price

[00:03:26] Living in the world where false

[00:03:28] Preachers got us praying to christ

[00:03:29] Get with the young girls

[00:03:30] In the choir and laying the pipe

[00:03:32] No control of our soul

[00:03:33] We all wait at the light

[00:03:34] So comfortable they

[00:03:35] We hating to fight to make it right

[00:03:37] Late at night I'm controlled

[00:03:38] By the DJ on the mic

[00:03:39] I love hip-hop and every joint

[00:03:41] He playing is tight

[00:03:42] A day in the life is a brick

[00:03:43] In the foundation of like

[00:03:45] A mason in Egypt amazing

[00:03:46] When I'm creating a site

[00:03:47] For the world to behold and the story to last

[00:03:49] So one day ghetto children

[00:03:50] Can visit their glorious past

[00:03:52] After Pac and Notorious passed

[00:03:53] What do we have

[00:03:54] Niggas worth more when they dead it's so sad

[00:03:57] Started with the slavery we finish the plan

[00:03:59] But I broke the cycle and became a man

[00:04:01] Party people put a hand in the sky

[00:04:03] Grab a cloud and squeeze til no man is dry

[00:04:06] We wet it up go ask the people if they plannin to die

[00:04:08] Can't stay to live consumers is plannin to buy

[00:04:11] Smoke death operators is standing by

[00:04:13] They take you order for the slaughter of the family why
