| …You don't wanna touch that drug | |
| Sista you don't wanna touch that drug… | |
| Check it out: | |
| Sista you out here raisin' our community's kids | |
| Impartin' a stronger sense of what “community” is | |
| Teachin' ‘em how to speak the word and what to do with these fists | |
| You're like a young Sojourner – truly through you, she lives | |
| You do God's work, and for it you deserve to be praised | |
| ‘Cause I know – the sacrifice is hardly worth what it pays | |
| Nevertheless – on you press to nurture the babes | |
| But take care – overprotectin' ‘em will hurt ‘em in ways | |
| You can't imagine – some call passion a tool | |
| The Shaitan – creatin' bonds with fanatics and fools | |
| And the fear of that is why freedom's absent in school | |
| And they substitute for gold the platinum rule | |
| It's on you to provide what they don't supply to the mass | |
| Knowledge of the forefathers they won't find in their class | |
| And you aint gotta force feed ‘em, but when finally they ask | |
| Tell ‘em they must shine for they were divine in the past | |
| Understand – I've been ready to commit to your team | |
| With the two forces combined we can uplift a regime | |
| But I am worthless as soon as I am stripped of my miens | |
| And if you see it as the cause for the split between us then that's | |
| Poison – I don't wanna touch this drug | |
| Trust me – I don't need the rush that much | |
| Understand I'll lay it all down straight and walk away overnight | |
| If it means you and me will unite (X2) | |
| Brother you're out here speakin from a stump in the rain | |
| I admire your stamina – it's like you're numb to the pain | |
| Through the mic it's like you and I are one-in-the-same | |
| We promise hope, though most say we're just mumblin' slang | |
| But the change'll come – we know from readin' the text | |
| And when I tend stop short, yo you keep me abreast | |
| You were born to be a leader of the elite's best | |
| But my concern's for the rest of the people that's left | |
| See I was baptized once as a child in the church | |
| And as a man now, overstand the lies in their works | |
| They're tryin' hard to save souls sellin' violence and hurt | |
| But mine was free from the beginning to fly since birth | |
| Now I wanna help another cat to feel like that | |
| Mixin' metaphysical concepts with real-life facts | |
| To equip the front lines in the field where pipes crack | |
| With rhyme, to the reason they're choosin' to fight back | |
| Understand that you and I both serve the same cause | |
| For peace – whether we're reachin' it through words or wars | |
| Sometimes our backgrounds help determine our course | |
| But when the weight starts to separate and burden us, Lord, that's | |
| Poison – I don't wanna touch this drug | |
| Fuck it – I don't need the rush that much | |
| Understand I'll lay it all down straight and walk away overnight | |
| If it means you and me will unite (X2) |
| You don' t wanna touch that drug | |
| Sista you don' t wanna touch that drug | |
