[00:26.65] | Though I owe to it my success |
[00:28.57] | With survival of the fittest' everyday is a chal' |
[00:30.86] | I would think I'm a part of U.S.A. and be proud |
[00:33.30] | Confronted with racism' started to feel foreign |
[00:35.76] | Like' the darker you are the realer your problems |
[00:38.40] | I reached for the stars but I just kept slippin |
[00:40.79] | On this life mission' never know what's next |
[00:43.17] | Ancient kings from Egypt' up to Julius Caeser |
[00:45.57] | Had a piece of the globe' every continent |
[00:47.92] | Yo' there's Asia' Africa' Europe' France' Japan |

[00:59.99] | The bombs and tanks makes mankind extinct |
[01:02.37] | But since the beginning of time it's been men with arms fightin |
[01:05.43] | Lost lives in the Towers and Pentagon' why then? |

[01:46.26] | So the youngsters' grows in ghettos' goes to prison |
[01:48.77] | At an early age' already know it's against him |
[01:51.20] | So in order for him to survive' one day he must |
[01:53.89] | Open up his eyes to the set backs and rise |
[01:55.91] | 'Cause' everybody wants a shot' in this land of opportunity |
[01:59.02] | Look at what this country's got |
[02:00.58] | There shouldn't be nobody homeless |
[02:02.56] | How can the president fix other problems when he ain't fixed home yet |
[02:05.14] | The earth wasn't made for one man to rule alone |
[02:08.13] | To all colors increases' to home it belongs |
[02:10.47] | I want land' mansions' banks and gold |
[02:12.86] | The diamonds in Africa' oil in my control |
[02:15.17] | The world's natural resources' all its residuals |
[02:18.00] | But then comes foes' I have to gaurd it with missels |
[02:20.30] | And I become the most wanted |
[02:21.86] | But is it worth hearin a million people problems and followed by Secret Service |
[02:25.14] | I guess' attempts at my life with loaded barrels |
