I testified

My mama cried

Black people died

When the other man lied See the TV listen to me double trouble

I overhaul and I'm comin'

From the lower level

I'm takin' tabs Sho nuff stuff to ***

Like shirts it hurts

With a neck to wreck

Took a poll 'cause our soul Took a toll

From the education

Of a TV station

But look around Hear go the sound of the wreckin' ball

Boom and Pound

When I

Shut 'em down One two three four five

Six seven eight nine

What I use in the battle for the mind

I hit it hard

Like it supposed Pullin' no blows to the nose

Like uncle L said I'm rippin' up shows

Then what it is

Only 5 percent of the biz I'm addin' woes

That's how da way it goes

Then you think I rank never drank, point blank

I own loans Suckers got me runnin' from the bank

Civil liberty I can't see to pay a fee

I never saw a way to pay a sap

To read the law Then become a victim of a lawyer

Don't know ya, never saw ya

Tape cued

Gettin' me sued Playin' games wit' my head

What the judge said put me in the red

Got me thinkin' 'bout a trigger to the lead

No no My education mind say

Suckers gonna pay

Anyway

There gonna be a day 'Cause the troop they roll in

To posse up

Whole from the ground

Ready to go Throw another round

Sick of the ride

It's suicide

For the other side of town When I find a way to shut 'em down

Who count the money

In da neighborhood

But we spendin' money To no end lookin' for a friend

In a war to the core

Rippin' up the poor in da stores

Till they get a brother Kickin' down doors

Then I figure I kick it bigger

Look 'em dead in the eye

And they wince Defense is pressurized

They don't want it to be

Another racial attack

In disguise so give some money back I like Nike but wait a minute

The neighborhood supports so put some

Money in it

Corporations owe Dey gotta give up the dough

To da town

Or else

We gotta shut 'em down
