If 6 was 9, everything would be fine

I would be more or less in my prime

Not to say I'm not, but check the rhyme

I'd be from a different generation of Hip Hop

I wouldn't be so familiar with Scott La Rock

I wouldn't have been breakdancing out on the Block

I would be young as hell and still in my teens

I'd be hypnotized by the bling, bling

I'd be as young as my first child was supposed to be

Before he got aborted, but that's history...

Some say I was born way ahead of my time

But VIRGO would still be my sign

if 3 decades later the planets had still aligned

But I'd be less wise,if the 6 in my life was actually a 9

RIGHT ABOUT NOW

Oh, say can you see ? As the so-called land of the free

Home of the brave, enters a new decade

I look back on the so-called progress that has been made...

As America, the BEAST itself, claims a new found love

For multiculturalism and ethnic diversity

And the elite upper-class, white trash

Still control coerce, manipulate, dominate, segregate and hate

On a whole ’nother level, like a bunch of devils

Ethnic populations, especially American-Africans

Struggle to survive...

While Affirmative Action, which never gave those oppressed satisfaction

Is now reviewed and unrenewed

Is the little bit of hope that

“ There are some good WHITE people out there somewhere, aren’t there ?”

Welfare reform, which is really reforming

A home-wrecking, forever economically crippling

Systematic sharecropping, genocidal pill popping, government system

That unbelievably only costs 3 cents on every dollar

But would’ve only costed 5 cents to be a useful tool

Is more than just cruel...

As the make-up of the BLAK family means

No money and no food, unless you get rid of your dude

And those are the welfare rules...

So many wonder why brothas and sistahs have attitudes

When lousy educational institutions

And poor quality, run-down high, junior-high and even preschools

Are given to ethnic populations, so that they are psychologically incapable

Of learning too much that might be useful

People know that environment plays a big part in how much a child grows

THOSE WHITE PEOPLE KNOW !!!

Why do you think they have tutors and computers in theirs

Yet they claim everything is fair ? Be aware !!!

As unconscious “minorities” struggle to get a piece

Of that American pie

And for us, the well remains forever dry

WHITES just lie, lie and lie

And then turn around and exclaim “All you have to do is try”

Integration is the biggest farce

Yet colonized people of color do their part

To force themselves into neighborhoods and businesses

That absolutely do not want them

Instead of just staring their own

And building their own homes

Like they did for the pilgrims, when forced

But are too lazy to do for themselves, of course...

WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO WAKE UP ?

Shut the fuck up, with all the cryin’, bickerin’

Dodgin’, ditchin’ and bitchin’

And realize; WHITES ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS !!!

They are not sincere

And the only “forty” you’re ever going to get

Won’t be in acres, but in rat poison in a bottle

Malt liquor beer...

While even WHITE liberals know it’s wrong

But won’t argue too much, as long as the scales of America

Are tipped in White people’s favor

Cause they love the flavor...

You best be comin’ to the conscious side, to the “colored” side

To the ethnic side, to the BLAK pride side

Like all of your ancestors who’ve died

’Cause if you don’t, you’ll never find a solution

Unless you too, turn to REVOLUTION

CONTROL YOUR OWN DESTINY

When, where and how?

Stop integratin’, matin’ relatin’

And start savin’, behavin’ and sacrificin’

RIGHT ABOUT...NOW !!!

DYING

BLAK people are dying...

In the jails, on the streets, in the hospitals

In the jungles of Africa

We are dying...

We are dying from alcohol poisoning

drug abuse, crack,caffeine, tobacco

And bad nutrition...

Not to mention Birth controlled, coat hanger

Prescribed abortions and Planned parenthood clinics

We are dying...

I am dying...you are dying...blaks are dying

From the poor health care

and systematic annihilation diseases...

We are dying...

They have a million and one ways to kill us

And come up with a thousand new ways each year

They’ve even taught us how to kill ourselves

So, We are killing ourselves...

I am dying...you are dying

you are killing me...I am killing you

You are killing you...and i am killing me too

They are killing us...everybody is killing us

I want to live...don’t you want to live ?

stop killing us...let’s stop killing us

Stop the killing... and by any means necessary

Let’s live...
