[Intro] | |
This is for my soldiers | |
Not my soldiers that chose to be soldiers | |
But the soldiers that were forced to be soldiers | |
Now what’s the trouble, you scared of being a human? | |
If the truth is a tool I double dare you to use it | |
Hit the booth and I’m well aware of what I’m doin’ | |
If I confuse you with the humor I’m preparing them for the movement | |
I’ve been alive before and every person’s got a purpose | |
Most don’t observe it or know what they’re striving towards | |
Only you can light the torch | |
Cause you won’t survive the war if you don’t know what the fuck it is you’re fighting for | |
Most of us won’t open up and trust the inner source | |
Combined with being tempted to just accept it | |
But don’t twist the message, if you must think of my support | |
Sometimes you gotta pull off the tees and get on some left right left shit | |
I worked with 80 soldiers hooded behind locked doors | |
Forced into a war, an entrance with no exit | |
Before they could grow up, just some crazy soldiers | |
Arming them with crack and guns, in essence, defenseless | |
Yup, my man rapping killsmatic enhance them | |
In his own words 21st century panther | |
13 years old gets into a fight | |
Decided to steal the kid’s bike | |
Cops come and he ends up in hand cuffs | |
Two months in and now he’s caught in the trap | |
Got out, got caught with a gat and crack | |
Now what do these people think | |
Juvenile life like that he grew up in a room with a mac | |
And he’ll be policed until the day he can legally drink | |
[Hook] | |
Now tell me what’s the matter with this picture | |
I wish it was a dream but it seems too vivid | |
There’s blood on these streets I can’t see who’s is it | |
I should probably mind my business | |
I said tell me what’s the matter with this picture | |
I wish it was a dream but it seems to vivid | |
There’s blood on these streets I can see whose is it | |
America wants me to mind my business | |
Now if you contain anything in a cage | |
Its natural tendency is going to try to be escape right? | |
When these kids get out of the gates and face life | |
If you raised them as a criminal what do you estimate they’ll behave like? | |
The ratio is 80 something percent of kids who get locked up again or go straight to the pen | |
And that’s strange right | |
It’s a snowball effect, and they wanna see you again | |
So they can make sure that America remains white | |
Yup, going back on that race shit | |
Most of the neighborhoods are like cages they try and escape and | |
If the American dream is to make it | |
It’s obviously blatant that if you’re left with nothing, what do you do? | |
Take it | |
Attempted Murder was the case | |
My man got beat up, stomped in his face | |
Ask George Bush what you do when you’re attacked | |
His boy went and let it spray, hit one of them in the leg | |
Now George you can relate | |
Remember Iraq, or was it Afghanistan? Just ain't funny | |
Proving sometimes you gotta take something to make money | |
My man’s homie snitched and said that he planned to hit | |
And he’ll be out when he’s 46 | |
Now ain’t the game something | |
The soldiers follow the same orders | |
The generals are Crips folk and south of the border | |
Nortenos and bloods | |
Now is it a kid with a gun or the system he lives in that has his disorder | |
If there’s a fiend on the block, somebody’s serving em | |
If there’s a teen with a Glock, there’s a cop looking to turn 'em in | |
If you have something I want, there’s somebody murdering | |
Since 1492, where the fuck do you think we learned it from | |
[Hook] |
