and giuliani – yo you can swim with the lobsters

I hope you mobsters lose your livers to the vodka

Somebody needs to get took hostage

This is poposterous – got a whole nation up in bondage

It might sound rash but n*gga we bout to crash

we in a race for life you thinking its for cash flow

i’ma be that asshole coming in the party to harrass you

or should i say fk it and just dance too

but we dont dance no mo’ – unless its capoeira
the new rap era of natural born guerillas

cuz anything can happen if you make it so

i’m like george jackson .45 in my afro

i’m like marcus garvey coming with money to blow

saying i want an army of boats – full of n*ggas that never vote
so on that note i’m sick of these scared millionaires

better get your nuts back cuz crackers thinking its theirs

drop a jewel not a bracelet

face it 90% of us still fighting for the basics

yo yo,

Yo i’m true to the struggle not new to the struggle

been through many trials – many forms of hustles

spent nights in the county for bullsh*t charges
fist fights with police cussing at the sargent

beef over females – you know how that goes

n*ggas egos turn best friends to foes

i been robbed, beat up, scared to fight

n*ggas busting shots off had to run for my life

but i aint no gangsta wanabe thug

never glorified selling dope cuz i seen my brother on drugs

and its painful, this game’s so dirty and foul

even the hospital just might murder your child
if you aint careful,
but i’m a rebel to this whole era

african root – imported like capoeira

ready for whatever thats where i wana be

able to destroy any ememy in front of me

or inside of me – see thats a jewel -
if I overlook the enemy within
then i’m a fool
can’t judge a book by its cover

cant trust every sister or brother cuz they could be undercover
DT’s
DPs got jewels for days

by making mistakes i learned to correct my ways

and it pays to stay humble,
studying lessons
dont wana see your own blood on your weapons

DP’s: not to be confused with
n*ggas who just do music -
its that true sh*t

Ghetto crows: not to be confused with
n*ggas who just do music – its that true sh*t

Yo
Don’t be yelling people army if you aint training

just wana rap like its all about some entertainment

how we too busy to train but got time to smoke?

aint got no money for class but got an ounce of dope

we could be learning how to sew

get skills thats useful
, instead of this fake thug sh*t we used to

we could bling, but a chain only as strong as its weakest link

thats why the whole people army gotta keep in sync

EME, UMO – You know PA

n*ggas is opposite of the po-po

we say: together the ants can conquer the elephant

they say: fk what they say cuz sh*t is irrelevant
