Yeah, I heard a poem a long time ago
A man that I used to know
told it to me
It went something like this
And let us cease with this anger
and hatred towards men
For men were born to be brothers through friendship,
not war
And let us not seek to friendship defined with a handshake
or a promise
For peace must be nurtured
in our hearts
Until the very thought of violence
has been removed from minds
Man, fuck that shit,
the world has been broken into billions of pieces
Thus giving me and everyone
like me from the ghetto
Nothing, cause all we do is struggling
for a place to live in
You gotta come stronger
than that, G
The neighborhood ain't nothing but
a terrorist place
A place where man kills each other
A place where everyone is
trying to survive
Where I'm from, it ain't like that
Man, hey, where I'm from is a modern
day motherfucking Vietnam
And my backyard is a concentration camp
It's not all about being militant,
it's all about surviving, man
The government should shut you down,
you don't belong here
It's people like you that get United
States a bad name
Man, fuck the government, man 'cause
all the government know how to do
Is not govern,
but how to add and subtract my black ass
What's rightfully mine's,
fuck that shit
You, you take away from what's right,
you destroy the American way
Even that lady that stands in a harbor
knows what's you all about
Man, fuck the Statue of Liberty, tha- tha- that bitch,
ain't nothing but a prostitute
And America is a prostitute herself, and America,
if you look under the Statue of Liberty's
Dressing drag representing America, ain't nothing
but a disease packing bitch
Fuck that bitch, man, fuck that shit,
it means nothing to me, it- it ain't doing nothing for me
Yo, your beats are hype,
but your lyrics, they're stressing
Me and my homies, man,
we know what's your shit all about
We ain't going for it, man,
you are trying to corrupt my mind and soul
Yo, yo, there's nothing that I've ever said
that- that have been cre ated by me
It's already been here long before I
was an impure thought in my parent's mind
Before I was even conceived in
my mother's womb
There was already words like, "Bitch,
shit, fuck"
I didn't make up a- all of these col
orful me- me- metaphors
And then you wanna call my album,
"Explisive"
How is it explisive when you, when you
made it up? It makes no sense to me
I feel sorry for you, 'cause you are short
and you are limited
Hey, yo, how tall are you?
62
Damn, I didn't know they stack
shit that high
Haven't you motherfucking realized
that I was born short
That means I already know I
was dealt a short in life?
Yeah
I was born short,
but see what I did is i- I enabled myself, right?
Yeah
To obtain wisdom,
knowledge and over stand it
Word
Which means that mentally, right?
Mentally, I could reach things
that you can't reach
Because you can't even realize
your own handicap
Yeah
And I can see even clearer how to fuck over
your bitch ass because of that shit
Damn, you are the little big man (boy)
