See, gangsters sell crack, kids get held back | |
Wages fell flat, now if you felt that | |
Say when (when, when, when) | |
Say when (when, when, when) | |
See, gangsters sell crack, kids get held back | |
Wages fell flat, now if you felt that | |
Say when (when, when, when) | |
Say when (when, when, when) | |
Ayo, the sun still shinin’, earth still spinnin’ | |
Poor still grindin’, rich still winnin’ | |
Imagine that, another day, another merger | |
One step further towards takin’ this rat race | |
But, while we make false starts and don’t finish it, | |
They built more Walmarts and small business get swept aside | |
Like dirt off the floor, headquarters offshore | |
Young kids off to war, that’s if you’re poor | |
Big biz like Juice Crew, honest work doesn’t pay like it used to | |
Man, so we do what we can, shop for bargains | |
They outsource and expand profit margins | |
And mark down what they already marked up | |
And leave town when the heat gets sparked up | |
So good jobs make the exodus to poor countries where they make even less than us | |
Nigga, if you was the richest cat, bona fide aristocrat, kicked it with diplomats, | |
You smile and tip your hat, lyin’ an’ tit for tat, if you could buy this and that, | |
You wouldn’t switch it back, now would you? | |
See, gangsters sell crack, kids get held back | |
Wages fell flat, now if you felt that | |
Say when (when, when, when) | |
Say when (when, when, when) | |
See, gangsters sell crack, kids get held back | |
Wages fell flat, now if you felt that | |
Say when (when, when, when) | |
Say when (when, when, when) | |
Ayo, the rope still swingin’, the door still shuttin’, | |
The bell still ringin’, kids still cuttin’, go figure. | |
Everyday the gap grows bigger and you wonder why they pullin’ those triggers man. | |
What you expect? It must be a hell of a lot, | |
Some kids surrounded by drugs, whether they sell ‘em or not | |
But they ain’t got brand-new laptop computers and they ain’t got the money for a tutor | |
So they learn geometry by studying angles on every corner, | |
An’ chemistry class is makin’ that pot warmer, | |
So if pop warner doesn’t lead to a scholly, | |
They prolly ain’t goin’ to college (no) | |
And now the system really only about preppin’ for tests | |
And they invest more in the schools reppin’ the best | |
Of course poor schools get less with time | |
And they callin’ that No Child Left Behind | |
But see, schools are still really segregated | |
And poor people still miseducated | |
So if one half of black kids live below the poverty line, | |
Fact is they probably lyin’. | |
But they ain’t losin’ no sleep, no toss and turnin’ | |
And keep raisin’ that cost of learnin’ | |
I guess it’s still crosses burnin’, | |
Watch how they fan them flames, understand them thangs | |
It’s why: | |
See, gangsters sell crack, kids get held back | |
Wages fell flat, now if you felt that | |
Say when (when, when, when) | |
Say when (when, when, when) | |
See, gangsters sell crack, kids get held back | |
Wages fell flat, now if you felt that | |
Say when (when, when, when) | |
Say when (when, when, when) | |
Ayo, the bombs still droppin’, Snoop still crippin’ | |
Guns still poppin’, scales still tippin’ | |
You don’t say? See these kids don’t play, but they all justified in they own way | |
Cause if jobs don’t pay and schools don’t teach | |
Ain’t a whole lot within reach | |
You either catch a case, catch wreck, catch alley-oops | |
Catch a ride to the spot where they rally troops | |
Or you go an’ get your own recruits, if you catch my drift | |
Givin’ them fiends that extra lift | |
So hustlers cook rocks, accountants cook books, | |
I figure the bigger the crime, the bigger the crook. | |
Look, this song ain’t about crack per se, | |
It used to be about moonshine back in the day | |
Now kids smoke M E T H O D, man | |
So really it’s an OG plan | |
See, gangsters sell crack, kids get held back | |
Wages fell flat, now if you felt that | |
Say when (when, when, when) | |
Say when (when, when, when) | |
