[00:08.00]LRC by lzh ,from jiangxi pingxiang
[00:14.00]@ @
[00:20.00]
[00:21.52]Stand tall, live your life to the limit
[00:24.45]Cause haterism seem like a fucking epidemic
[00:27.00]And look at Ice Cube, I ain't no gimmick
[00:29.52]I'm straight from the hood, I got to represent it
[00:32.27]Now - every day I think about my color
[00:34.92]And all the crazy shit we do to one another
[00:37.49]I ain't your blood brother, but I'm your cuz brother
[00:40.38]Let's take it back to the love and how it was brother
[00:42.93]If not, we gon' pull these triggers
[00:45.50]Show the world we deserve to be called niggaz
[00:48.01]I make a fuck-up, like Don Imus
[00:50.64]bow on his knees, and call me yo' highness
[00:53.26]You can too, you got the power to
[00:56.19]Don't let this motherfuckin system devour you
[00:58.64]I won't pretend, or act like I'm knowin you
[01:01.64]But check it out I understand what you goin through
[01:03.99]But remember, brothers and sisters
[01:07.78]You can still, stand, tall
[01:13.00]Just be thankful...
[01:18.31]For what you got
[01:21.37]I know what y'all motherfuckers thinking, heh heh
[01:24.31]Here comes another rapper with a song about hope
[01:27.75]All you wanna hear is a song about dope
[01:30.17]And how a nigga got mo' money than the Pope
[01:32.84]But he'll never tell you when he drop the soap
[01:35.43]No~! Ice Cube is here to drop you a note
[01:38.11]Cause some of our folk used to hang from ropes
[01:40.74]And some of our people used to hang from trees
[01:43.38]Now the only thing hangin muh'fucker is DEEZ
[01:46.10]So, get your mind right, and I'ma rhyme right
[01:48.93]Fuck the limelight, and a blind dyke
[01:51.68]I'm the sunlight, too bright to look
[01:54.27]When it's all said and done I should write the book
[01:56.74]You too cool for school, too old to know?
[01:59.25]Get your ass off the grassroots and let 'em grow
[02:02.13]I understand, it ain't no love lost
[02:04.65]But little kids, it ain't no Santa Claus
[02:07.51]But remember, brothers and sisters
[02:11.27]You can still, stand, tall
[02:16.47]Just be thankful...
[02:21.08]For what you got
[02:27.81]I was born in the mud but I came out clean
[02:30.76]That's 'til the government tried to intervene
[02:33.38]Tried to lock me up when I was only 19
[02:36.19]Don't never ever ever let 'em kill your dream
[02:38.79]I make shit raw that piss off the law
[02:41.35]If you want some fake shit turn this off
[02:44.02]If you want some realness I know you can feel this
[02:46.77]Maybe we can heal this just like an illness
[02:49.27]Black on black, I got'cho back
[02:52.01]People don't think that we know how to act
[02:54.54]Just because our neighborhood is filled with crack
[02:57.27]And the CIA, won't take it back
[02:59.50]Never on top, always on the bottom
[03:02.64]Never put your trust in Hillary Rodham
[03:05.15]Cause I can tell you now it's gon' turn out rotten
[03:07.82]Keep on pushin, get 'em 'til we got 'em
[03:10.56]But remember, brothers and sisters
[03:14.62]You can still, stand, tall
[03:20.22]Just be thankful...
[03:25.03]For what you got
[03:30.79]
[03:34.35]Raise your hand if you sick of this bullshit
[03:37.89]Heh, in the belly of the evil empire fades
[03:43.34]
