Street Corner- Masta Killa[00:00:01]
Looking on various street corners[00:00:01]
I'm sure you've seen it yourself[00:00:03]
Standing on the corner is an alleged brother[00:00:05]
Dressed in blue or green red and black[00:00:09]
And starting the news that the revolution is coming[00:00:13]
And you better get ready sort of like[00:00:17]
The end of the world is coming unfortunetly[00:00:19]
The world is just gonna drag on and on[00:00:21]
And we have a poem that we've written particularly[00:00:24]
For the brothers on the street corners[00:00:28]
When the revolution come you can see me on the front line[00:00:30]
Firing my gun standing right beside my son[00:00:34]
If I go it's understood that I stood for something[00:00:36]
When my whole life they told me I was good for nothing[00:00:39]
I was raised by the stray dogs blazed off layed off[00:00:42]
Breaking laws graveyard shifting every day war[00:00:46]
Focus now notice how things change soldier[00:00:49]
I remain the same I'm older now I embrace the pain[00:00:52]
I blame the struggle nearly drove me insane[00:00:55]
Thought I lost my head til my brethren told me the same[00:00:58]
No tears for the reaper I've buried bout a thousand[00:01:01]
In graffiti "rest in peace" sprayed off throughout the housing[00:01:04]
I tried to stay civilized the hood's a prison inside[00:01:08]
The only difference is the doors don't slide[00:01:11]
Still we trapped in the animal cage cuz we got animal ways[00:01:13]
So we react with the animal rage[00:01:17]
And my sex is real weapons peel cheddar's the deal[00:01:19]
Seen the depths of hell now I stare death in the grill[00:01:23]
From the slave ships to today's bricks same shit[00:01:26]
I'm awake to the wickedness and one with the pavement[00:01:29]
The all great mind stays divine my hands remain deadly[00:01:32]
We shine without the hung jewelry produce light[00:01:35]
That'll travel through mics now as the time riping[00:01:38]
We took words that we nourishing encouriging[00:01:42]
A nation to awaken those who were sleeping[00:01:44]
Can you conceive the thought Transatlantic import[00:01:48]
Slave and bought cheaper relations between blacks & jews[00:01:52]
Might set a fuse off in the head many dead[00:01:55]
Lynch hung swung from trees[00:01:58]
Brothers in the struggle together eat from one pot[00:02:00]
Hold each other down to the sneaker nothing come between us[00:02:03]
Fast money and chicks did it to the best of flicks[00:02:06]
It's sickening huh[00:02:10]
It's me and you son forever in the struggle[00:02:16]
No doubt we hustle survival is the motto[00:02:19]
Will you soon follow a better tomorrow for a better tomorrow[00:02:22]
It's me and you son forever in the struggle[00:02:28]
No doubt we hustle survival is the motto[00:02:31]
Will you soon follow a better tomorrow for a better tomorrow[00:02:34]
I catch a few flashbacks about going through the struggle[00:02:40]
How we used to make dollars from all the snow we shoveled[00:02:43]
In a broke neighborhood where the kids often dream[00:02:46]
About a laverage life that is mostly seen in the screen[00:02:50]
Where some dreams are quickly cut short due to gang violence[00:02:53]
From loud guns that kept witnesses in deep silence[00:02:56]
Was it bad timing jealousy from too much shining [00:02:59]
Or a set up from a girl that he wined kept dining[00:03:02]
It's a known fact they will attack cuz it's like that[00:03:05]
And depending on the kind of impact that strike back[00:03:08]
In a town where the talk is cheap and beef is brief[00:03:11]
A mother sobs uncontrollably and exhibit the grief[00:03:14]
Large holes in the front door of a housing tenement[00:03:17]
Allows room to retaliate so conflict is imminent[00:03:21]
This hate in the brain destroys the cells like cancer[00:03:24]
Even experts are stuck with more questions than answers[00:03:27]
