Alright, check this out |

Yo |
|
[ VERSE 1: King Tee ] |
|
Now this is for the gangsters, now trip |
|
A message to the Bloods and the Crips |
|
It's time to get out because a lot of things changed |
|
The way it used to be, well, today it ain't the same |
|
You got the Blood gang shootin up churches and shit |
|
L.A. and Compton don't mix, so it's Crips fightin Crips |
|
Back in the days it was whites against 'coloreds' |
|
Now you got brothers just killin each other |
|
And drive-by shooting's like a sport for you now |
|
But when you shoot for your victim with him you hit a child |
|
I gotta ask ya: how do you feel after that? |
|
You brothers blow wind in your gat |
|
Like you was John Wayne or Clint Eastwood |
|
You shot another black for your hood |
|
Get caught, you wanna cry like a ass |
|
I kinda giggle when the white man laughs |
|
Not too long ago you had to fight for your territory |
|
Toe to toe and a gun was a different story |
|
I guess you can't squabble no mo' |
|
Your fist is a .44 |
|
But on the real, hops, I'm on the same boat |
|
But the Man got us all by the throat |
|
And since I got the power to deliver this to ya |
|
I'ma tell ya like it is, I won't fool ya |
|
I want you to |
|
[ singer (& King Tee) ] |
|
Stop fighting and come together as one |
|
(It's time to get out) |
|
Unity is what we need, get your job done |
|
[ VERSE 2: King Tee ] |
|
Now you're out drunk, cold wildin |
|
Kill another brother, on your neck is a medaillon |
|
That resembles the shape of the motherland |
|
But let me tell you where my color stands |
|
Black is you, black is me |
|
And black is creativity |
|
Black is present and black is past |
|
And black is of a higher class |
|
Black is kings and black is queens |
|
Black is what the sunset brings |
|
Black is rap and black is soul |
|
Black is even rock 'n roll |
|
Check it, black is locks, black is braids |
|
Black is men with high top fades |
|
Black is love, black is devine |
|
Black is first of all mankind |
|
So |
|
[ singer (& King Tee) ] |
|
Stop fighting and come together as one |
|
(Get out) |
|
Unity is what we need to get the job done |
|
(All together now) |
|
Stop fighting and come together as one |
|
(Go ahead and get out) |
|
Unity is what we need to get the job done |
|
[ King Tee ] |
