歌词

	作曲 : MOSLEY XAVIER LORENZO
	作词 : MOSLEY XAVIER LORENZO
	Time and time, a brother asks why
	The rhyme is not laced with a gangsta touch
	I said "Simply because I don't live that wayStill kickin' them rhymes rugged and rough""But that won't sell,cause you gotta keep it realso that we can feelwhere you're coming fromBecause these streets is ill so if you ain'tkilling niggas in rhymesyour whole sound's just bubble gum"
	I said "I won't contribute to genocide;I'd rather try to cultivate an inner sideand try to evolve the frustrated ghetto mindThe devil and his army never been a friend of mine""But niggas don't wanna hear that shit" said the brother
	Who was obviously totally misled and yelled out"murder murder, kill, murder" instilled in the influential parts
	Of our kids' heads
	Shallow days, you never wanna
	Let a brother be a brother
	Fully inner to the outer
	Caught up, and all them hollow nights
	Can't escape cause everywhere that
	I lookPeople frontin, and it just ain't right
	I said "Don't you know the powers that beare using people as pawns, devouring weuntil they see us all gone and outta the scene"
	And as I passed the chronic, he said "look at where I be,I tried to get a job for real,But all my homies hit licks, and rob and stealand keep fat pockets caught in a rut to catch groundthis way's in, plus who could you trust?"
	I said "I'm all about protecting mine,but neglecting minds be getting left behind.Why don't you change your environment?"
	He said "This is all I know,plus my fam's all that I got, I can't go"
	I said "You gotta make it for the fam""Damn," he said "I didn't make the ghetto,The ghetto made the man"
	I said "You're more than just that,"
	Shook his hand, said "Damn, you gotta find a wayTo break the devil's master plan, peace"
	The word peace is just an expression
	Used to say bye when it's time to jet
	And them red black and green medallions
	Was all just part of the trend,
	I guessHardly ever see them around brothers' necks no more
	Instead of that gold, gats
	Inspiring gangstas and macks
	Who at the young age of four
	Be seeing more drama than war veterans
	Instead of learning
	God's laws
	And hip-hop is a voice who we enlist at
	To express how we be feeling about this and that
	But music does reflect life
	And kids look up to what you're portraying
	And mimic what you act like
	It's time for a new day
	An era in rap, conscious styles,
	Makin' them aware of the happenings
	But their ears seem more steered towards
	Self-annihilation so many might laugh
	And write this off, like
	I'm out here just
	Blowing wind, maybe label us soft or unreal,
	Something they can't feel, while they keep yellin
	Murder murder murder, kill kill kill
