Crack MC: | |
They say they can't convict | |
though they're known to be strict | |
mistook my people for the ones to be hit | |
startin' crimes of passion | |
flames and ash and murder passing hand to hand | |
car to car they done gone too far | |
stop where you are the cops are at war | |
with the B to the L to the A to the C to the K | |
we ain't selling no rocks today | |
I'm breaking glass for the black man's plight | |
gonna burn and loot as proof to the whites | |
they can't take advantage | |
we can do damage | |
thought they could manage our sense of the real | |
so now the King was the god damned defendant | |
cops with the Klan bent were just in their bust | |
they can beat you to the fullest extent of the lengths of their clubs | |
peace and love in god we trust | |
don't fuss with the negro pros at dissecting the plotting | |
that many years ago made niggas pick cotton | |
and shamed us aimed us out of our orbit | |
but never explored it to sue the red, white and blue | |
Voluntary manslaughter killed the father raped the daughter | |
bust this to the youth and trust this to be truth | |
we're choking on a culture that circles like vultures | |
putting slaves in their graves as unemployed leftovers | |
yeah gangs have sprung from the work that you | |
who worship the cursed red, white and blue | |
have done to the kid in your bid to get ahead | |
now rocks gonna roll for green black and red | |
riot they gon' buy it | |
now this black generation done been to patient | |
Thelma and Louise this whole damn nation and let's just all act up | |
they used logic for the projects like they housing cattle | |
Bush's point of light done ignited my battle | |
'cause my people getting burned | |
and there's nowhere to turn | |
there's a gun to your head, G, | |
when do you learn? | |
Riot | |
Bring 'em to the Crackhouse | |
Let's have a riot | |
Welcome to the Crackhouse | |
Twelve years of Bush and Reagan | |
No opportunity cuts and social spending | |
Poverty line poor and homeless sinking | |
Calling out the army and blaming the victim | |
Every inner city's a crack-house | |
And every American TV's on you bet it's a blackout | |
No health care, jobs or housing visualize plebiscide 2000 | |
There's no logic reason or rhyme | |
Just black on black on brown on yellow crime | |
Aids in the house you can't escape | |
With no condoms for kids no sex education | |
Government withhold potential drugs | |
So you drive to the crack-house and buy it from street thugs | |
No hope for the hopeless, no power for the powerless, | |
Total confusion look at life through an hourglass | |
Violence is never an answer it's a question, | |
What does it take to get media attention | |
Are people really ready for truth | |
Now that the chickens have all come home to roost | |
And the leadership patience and quiet | |
But it's too late for empty rhetoric it's a riot | |
Welcome to the Crackhouse | |
This is a riot | |
We need crack in L.A. (the land?) | |
Crack MC: | |
I'm sorry Rodney, but I just can't stop. | |
I'm the C to the R to the A to the C to the K | |
Double up raps is haps I say | |
Spray the whole damn block my rock is dominating | |
Got a base head lock on this spaced out nation | |
Project glass pipe's been the best thing tried | |
Got us tight boxed in rollers on all sides | |
Feeding black paranoia that can throw you around a bit | |
USA can't say they ain't down with it | |
Leading the attack of the killer Caucasians | |
Now they trying to persuade us sweep it under the rug | |
Getting action from Jesse Jackson 'bout being upset | |
But bet he ain't living on drugs | |
He's just simping 'cause he pimping as a politician | |
Shooting off his mouth but the fire is missing | |
'Cause he's turning his back on the blacks going crazy | |
Telling us to vote that's a quote like we're lazy | |
Instead of oppressed by a stressed population | |
That maimed and then blamed blacks with no reparations | |
Got no education thought the nation was dumb | |
Kept us poor and ignored till we pick up a gun | |
And defend our lives like the men so wise that | |
We are band together as a gang and then swang | |
Do your thang in the middle of the night | |
While I try to teach the devil about wrong and right | |
'Cause it's beyond his comprehension | |
So some schooling's attempted | |
The usual lies that you hear are preempted | |
Been shot in the back for the fact that they're whack | |
Believe not a word that you've heard about that | |
'Cause crack is being sold like candy | |
Better go call up Barney and Andy | |
Tell them that Mayberry's under siege | |
CRACK MC done hooked Opie! | |
