|
Uh, yeah, Somalia |
|
Yeah, I spit it for my block, it's an ode, I admit it |
|
Here the city code is lock and load, any minute is rock 'n' roll |
|
And you rock 'n' roll and feel your soul leavin' |
|
It's just the wrong dance that'll leave you not breathin' |
|
I'm not particularly proud of this predicament but |
|
I'm born and bred in this tenement, I'm sentimental, what? |
|
Plus it's only right to represent my hood and what not? |
|
So I'm about to do it in the music, in the movies |
|
Cut to the chase pan across to the face, I'm right there |
|
Freeze frame on the street name, oops, wait a minute |
|
This is where the streets have no name and the drain of sewage |
|
You can see it in this boy how the hate is brewin' |
|
'Cause when his tummy tucks in, *****, the pain is fluid |
|
So what difference does it make entertaining, threw it |
|
Some get high mixing coke and gun powder, sniffin' |
|
She got a gun but could have been a model or physician |
|
So what you know 'bout the pirates terrorize the ocean |
|
To never know a simple day without a big commotion |
|
It can't be healthy just to live with a such steep emotion |
|
And when I try and sleep, I see coffins closin' |
|
So what you know 'bout the pirates terrorize the ocean |

|

|

|
Yeah, yeah, we used to take barbed wire |
|
Mold them around discarded bike tires |
|
Roll 'em down the hill on foot blazin' |
|
Now that was our version of mountain bike racing, damn |
|
Do you see why it's amazing |
|
When someone comes out of such a dire situation |
|
And learns the English language |
|
Just to share his observation? |
|
Probably get a Grammy without a grammar education |
|
So ***** you school and ***** you immigration |
|
And all of you who thought I wouldn't amount to constipation |
|
And now I'm here without the slightest fear and reservation |
|
They love me in the slums and in the native reservations |
|
The world is a ghetto with ministering deprivation |
|
My mommy didn't raise no fool, did she? |
|
I promise, I would get it and remain strictly loyal |
|
'Cause when they get it then they let it all switch and spoil |
|
But I just illuminated it like kitchen foil |
|
A lot of main stream *****s is yappin' about yappin' |
|
A lot of underground *****s is rappin' about rappin' |
|
I just wanna tell you what's really crackalackan |
|
Before the tears came down this is what happened |
|
So what you know 'bout the pirates terrorize the ocean |
|

Yeah, Somalia |
