Uh, uh, mmm, mmm? mmm? yup, yeah, uh |
|
Those who front an' don't really want trouble |
|
Step to the side like an S1W |
|
The NW north of NWA's place of origin |
|
Originators of the first general strike |
|
Roots of our labor is thick |
|
Still awaiting the fruits of our labor to get higher than a 747 jet |
|
But when we say, "now," they say, "not yet" |
|
They don't feel it, but give it respect |
|
There's no hard feelings more paper to collect |
|
Though I can care less |
|
Family is fed, clothes on they back, shelter over head |
|
When debts climb higher than paychecks can reach |
|
Whoever asks next for a free CD will catch a bad one |
|
Trust this, believe you, me |
|
Probably tens of thousands of people just like me in a town, in a town |
|
In a town not big enough for ego to breath |
|
You plead unity but never build the bridges between |
|
And if you travel to the next town |
|
You might find that shit's surprising |
|
They all act just like us |
|
Carrying the legacy of people divided |
|
Plagued by infighting and tight knit surviving |
|
People on the outside look and write about it |
|
Choose the safe route to fit they own palate |
|
Ignore the rest at the same time the rest get restless |
|
And blame it on the other's success |
|
It gets twisted |
|
Crab in a barrel existence |
|
Where no amount of noise make the powerful listen |
|
Power's within us all, pistols are drawn |
|
We about to shine like Mr. Sinister's arm |
|
And the songs that they sold to the devils are gone |
|
We all vagabonds, home is whatever we stand upon |
|
Take a picture, they'll last longer |
|
I think they forgot that songs last forever |
|
It's a whole lot of cheddar at the top now |
|
Fuck tryna climb up, let's bring the top down |
|
Bring it down, bring it, bring it down, down down, bring it down, let's bring it down, ah |
