When I came out with my first rap jam
E
I had no idea that the record would slam
Eb
E
It did real good without radio play
Maybe at night but no
airplay in the day
I couldn't understand why to be exact
F
Our music was good and I was
Then came the answer,
commercial was the key
To get airplay and a spot on TV
Like Ed Lover and Doctor
Dm
Dre from Yo! MTV Raps
E
A show, mainly for the black
And still we can't ill,
cause to them that's wrong
'Cause like P.E. said,
we're too black and too strong
But hey, what can I say
(Brothers and sisters) that's
a price a rapper must pay

Verse 6
E
As airwaves collapse rap shows
at a standstill
Some racial circuits the
frequencies can't handle
The funk tracks produced by EPMD
But it's a fat jam,
that will never win a grammy
Unless we sellout and kill
the black movement dead
Eb
E
Which means swallow our pride and
become flunkies instead
And stop the rap about freedom,
thoughts of a black president
And rap about a black crack, the
mayor in our residence
Give me a break brothers,
it's time to take a stand
And kill that no sir, yes sir,
and thank you ma'am
'Cause the word is a luxury
a black man can't afford
That's why poverty's on the
rise and we still ignored
And it's a setback and yet
the clock still ticks
And if we let it,
rap would be run by politics
I read it somewhere that
every man's created equal
But not in this day and age,
maybe in the sequel
Which means next time,
so observe these rhymes
And take a stand and go for yours
'cause I'm going for mine
That's why I

Why is that when wrong is done by the black
Verse 9
E
It's
blown out of proportion and
immediately attacked
By the press and yes, conflict is caused
By the kids at concerts who
bumrush the doors
Eb
E
One child gets hurt, the press gets pesty
But what about the Beatles, G,
and Elvis Presley
F
E
Same stuff was rough,
rap does not cause violence
F
E
So (Fight the Power) and make
them understand
But too much power and
you might get banned
F
So if you want airplay
