[00:21.538] | Black Cotton, Black Cotton |
[00:33.345] | Black Cotton – a symbol for unrewarded struggle |
[00:37.420] | Time for a little gospel tale |
[00:39.693] | Ghetto gospel, that is, listen! |
[00:45.832] | Rotten Black Cotton in God's eyes |
[00:50.795] | Speak! |
[00:53.094] | Black cotton, steady stressin', Smith & Wessons, count my blessings |
[00:56.072] | Class is in session: the worst question is the first question |
[00:58.971] | Why do we work like slaves sweatin' blades to an early grave? |
[01:02.158] | Never got paid but still we slave (in the nine tre' |
[01:05.006] | Answer that, then answer this too |
[01:07.043] | Love's gonna get ya, you know it's true – life's a bitch, true? |
[01:10.204] | You best to backtrack and try to act black and live |
[01:12.790] | Not to be phony and positive but why be negative? |
[01:15.742] | What's the matter, G? Black cat got your tongue? |
[01:18.354] | Fat track got you sprung, now you're hung? |
[01:20.183] | Do ya feel me? Dum dum diddy, is it me? |
[01:23.187] | Attempt to reach each and every brother on the streets |
[01:26.661] | If not peace, then at least let's get a piece |
[01:29.665] | I'm tired of seein' bodies on the streets deceased |
[01:32.486] | Lookin' through my highschool yearbook |
[01:34.968] | Reminiscin' of the tears as the years took |
[01:37.868] | One homie, two homie, three homies – POOF! |
[01:41.107] | We used to have troops, but now there's no more youth to shoot |
[01:44.189] | God, come save the misbegotten |
[01:46.723] | Lost ghetto souls of Black Cotton (in God's eyes) |
[01:49.388] | Nobody don't care (No matter how hard I try |
[01:51.216] | Look to the sky, and I ask God why) |
[01:54.273] | Nobody don't care (Seems like my dreams |
[01:57.120] | Drowned in by screams, no answer to my questions) |
[02:00.098] | Nobody don't care (Feels like I'm pressed |
[02:02.788] | Why do I stress? It's like I'm bein' tested) |
[02:05.427] | Nobody don't care (Seems like my prayers |
[02:08.666] | Vanished in thin air, please answer my questions) |
[02:11.200] | Nobody don't care |
[02:12.088] | In the belly of the beast I'm bubblin' up |
[02:14.517] | Runnin' out of luck, about to self-destruct |
[02:17.548] | Old heads say live your life like such |
[02:20.264] | You're sure to catch her with your one-day boy |
[02:22.250] | I wouldn't listen to 'em |
[02:23.530] | Your power movement was cool, but it ain't fix nothin' |
[02:26.560] | So I just go with what I know, I don't trust none |
[02:29.198] | Look what the 80's did to us baby kids |
[02:32.281] | And now we grown up, nobody ain't own us yet |
[02:34.997] | Black cotton, I'm plottin' on what they owe me |
[02:36.695] | I'm workin' without a profit, they shacklin' all my homies |
[02:39.308] | I'm hurtin', but keep in mind, it ain't irkin' |
[02:41.424] | And we ain't stop, it's curtains |
[02:42.677] | You try to rise and certainly we survive with Outlaw Ridaz |
[02:46.047] | What's the reward for a struggler? |
[02:47.876] | If the Lord lovin' us, then why they hate to see us comin' up? |
[02:51.220] | Runnin' up, gun cocked, black mask and gloves |
[02:54.067] | If you ain't got a penny, mind the glove, no love |
[02:56.966] | Waitin' for my 40 acres and a blunt to blaze |
[02:59.657] | Biblical times, good hearts with milita minds |
[03:02.635] | Black Cotton – I'm hoppin' over enemy lines |
[03:05.273] | Black Cotton – I ain't stoppin' till they givin me mine |
[03:08.095] | Black Cotton |
[03:09.087] | Nobody don't care (No matter how hard I try |
[03:10.028] | Look to the sky, and I ask God why) |
[03:13.371] | Nobody don't care (Seems like my dreams |
[03:15.984] | Drowned in by screams, no answer to my questions) |
[03:19.040] | Nobody don't care (Feels like I'm pressed |
[03:21.809] | Why do I stress? It's like I'm bein' tested) |
[03:24.708] | Nobody don't care (Seems like my prayers |
[03:27.373] | Vanished in thin air, please answer my questions) |
