《Listen(Album Version|Explicit)》歌词

[00:00:02] I gotta few things I wanna ask the Lord

[00:00:04] Why my people gotta be so poor feel me

[00:00:07] And why's it so rough when you're young and black

[00:00:09] They say you go to jail or get strung on crack

[00:00:12] Why the girl have a baby she was twelve years old

[00:00:14] Ask the state why the cell's gotta be so cold

[00:00:17] And why these niggas here with so many years

[00:00:19] Whole family in court crying so many tears

[00:00:21] Can you picture us living with hope

[00:00:23] When the same ones hanging us is giving us dope

[00:00:27] Shit it's hard to get by

[00:00:29] I pray to God it's still hard to get by

[00:00:32] Just wanna hold my son

[00:00:34] But I can't leave my house until I load my gun

[00:00:37] I gotta grab my sword

[00:00:38] And when I die I got some things I wanna ask the Lord

[00:00:41] Like why we dying from AIDS

[00:00:44] And why on TV it's aight to be gay

[00:00:46] Aint that sorta like my gun got the right to be waved

[00:00:49] If I could sit back and watch a whole cipher of slaves

[00:00:51] Ask my man where the blacks at

[00:00:53] Ask myself where the next Malcolm X at

[00:00:55] Is he makin Salat or upstate like a ape in a box

[00:00:58] Am I a human or a fallen angel

[00:01:00] Got to pray by myself 'cause I'm out of angle

[00:01:03] I aint facin the east tell the brothers I was shakin the beast

[00:01:06] Had the nine and the eight in the streets

[00:01:08] Open your eyes stay wise 'cause even Satan is deep

[00:01:11] I pray for a better living

[00:01:12] Even though I think I'm better dying

[00:01:15] Why 'cause I'd rather hear the angels singing

[00:01:17] Why and I don't wanna hear my people crying feel me black

[00:01:21] We aint gotta die no more I said we aint gotta die no more

[00:01:25] Black woman Listen

[00:01:26] You aint gotta cry no more I said you aint gotta cry no more

[00:01:30] Black child Listen

[00:01:31] We gotta provide for y'all I said we gotta provide for y'all

[00:01:34] Devil man Listen

[00:01:36] We got a surprise for y'all I said we got a surprise for y'all

[00:01:39] Black man Listen

[00:01:40] 'Bout to be on some clever shit

[00:01:43] I gotta think if the president is prejudice

[00:01:45] And that's another eight years down

[00:01:47] The 500 year warn that's a eight year round

[00:01:50] I don't really mean to sweat it

[00:01:52] But the war been on before they came on your TV and settle

[00:01:55] They don't need lead to shoot ya

[00:01:57] Why would a man make a computer to head the future

[00:02:00] I think about it in a weed session

[00:02:02] They said better technology all I see is regressin

[00:02:05] Blew up our buildings in fact

[00:02:07] But if they live under the sun then them children is black

[00:02:09] 'Fore the devil get more time I'd rather see the world cease

[00:02:13] Hit the afterlife of world peace

[00:02:14] Where black men don't die the women don't cry

[00:02:17] And the little kids get provided for and play in the sky what

[00:02:20] We aint gotta die no more I said we aint gotta die no more

[00:02:23] Black woman Listen

[00:02:24] You aint gotta cry no more I said you aint gotta cry no more

[00:02:28] Black child Listen

[00:02:29] We gotta provide for y'all I said we gotta provide for y'all

[00:02:33] Devil man Listen

[00:02:34] We got a surprise for y'all I said we got a surprise for y'all

[00:02:38] Black man Listen
