[00:00.00] Sirens - Little Brother/Carlitta Durand
[00:23.66] Are we back on Let's go
[00:28.85] (One two three four )
[00:32.56] Yo yo back in it back in it
[00:37.20] "The one thing that the black audience realized
[00:41.95] Is when the tower fell there were some changes
[00:44.16] There was a change in societies where where
[00:47.32] All of a sudden they went from being
[00:49.20] Somewhat of the people still having a say
[00:51.67] To now it's whatever the masses do
[00:53.91] So there's not even really a choice
[00:56.10] That a black audience is being given "
[00:58.10] They talk about us not usin the word ni**a
[01:00.38] I wanna speak about a couple issues much bigger
[01:02.89] Like most black folks live below the poverty line
[01:05.70] And they wonder why the F**K we attracted to crime
[01:08.14] Got niggaz shootin niggaz at the drop of a dime
[01:11.13] Babies in the street die way before they time
[01:13.77] Many single parent mothers packin welfare lines
[01:16.70] And niggaz bein donors the apocalypse is on us
[01:19.42] Niggaz take owners that's all I ever asked
[01:21.50] And got pegged as a hater man they tryin to take niggaz
[01:24.80] Out with the fader started with three
[01:27.11] Down to two-six later back independent
[01:29.71] Cause to kids I wouldn't cate
[01:31.43] Go against the system you in bed with Al'Qaeda
[01:33.94] Dog they not playin
[01:35.29] Look here they goin to war with more than rap
[01:37.80] This our muh'f**kin lives now it's time to fight back

[02:04.44] Felt sick to the stomach almost lost his meal
[02:07.18] Lost friends from way back and on top of all that
[02:09.84] They tryin to blame this rap sh*t for all of our ills
[02:12.59] Like I can speak a whup with a mic
[02:14.22] Like I can R**e you with a verse or use a verb as a knife
[02:17.35] Like before Kool Herc everything was alright
[02:19.86] Like y'all wasn't callin black women hoes befo' "Rappers Delight"
[02:23.02] Sheeeit That's just idiot talk this whole sh*t is a farce
[02:26.49] I refuse to be hip-hop's pallbearer
[02:28.77] Had to tell me son cut that b******t off
[02:31.04] Them ain't videos ni**a that's psychological warfare
[02:34.04] Too many different variations of the same face
[02:36.67] Designed to keep yo' broke a** in the same place
