Pawns in the Game - Mac Dre/Khayree Shaheed[00:00:00]
D R E feel me D R E[00:00:19]
I did the thing in the pen the whole time[00:00:28]
I was in[00:00:30]
I stayed soaking up game and steady pushing my pen[00:00:31]
I read about sh*t I never knew existed[00:00:34]
Before I went to jail I had the whole thing[00:00:37]
Twisted[00:00:39]
But now I know and I'm finna expose[00:00:40]
What really goes on behind closed doors[00:00:42]
Them devils got a plot that'll shock the nation[00:00:45]
To control black power and population[00:00:48]
Snake motherf**kas been running the game[00:00:51]
That all started off with crack cocaine[00:00:53]
They flooded neighborhoods where the black folks dwell[00:00:56]
Got everybody using and trying to sell[00:00:59]
When drug dealing increased then the killings increased[00:01:02]
Then more young black brothers came up deceased[00:01:04]
Senseless violence invaded the streets[00:01:07]
They had us killing each other but we couldn't peep[00:01:10]
We was pawns in the game that the fools created[00:01:13]
And this is what they did to keep things shaded[00:01:16]
In 1985 they launched the war on drugs[00:01:19]
Claiming that they dreaded all the killers and thugs[00:01:21]
But this was phase 2 of a fat plan[00:01:24]
To control the population of the black man[00:01:27]
Even back then it didn't seem right[00:01:30]
When them racist police got the green light[00:01:32]
In Chicago Miami Atlanta GA[00:01:35]
Little rock louisville and the OAK[00:01:38]
New york minnesota and all them places[00:01:41]
Young brothers got stuck with dope cases[00:01:43]
To the public they looked like heroes[00:01:46]
While young brothers looked like zeroes[00:01:49]
They took black men from black ladies[00:01:52]
'Cuz with less black men[00:01:55]
There's less black babies ain't it shady[00:01:56]
It gets way deep[00:01:59]
Phase 3 is the plan to keep us off the[00:02:00]
Streets[00:02:03]
They stuck us in jail and said now that we[00:02:03]
Got y'all[00:02:05]
Let us introduce you to this crack law[00:02:06]
Now everybody know what the crack is[00:02:09]
In them ghetto neighborhoods where the blacks live[00:02:12]
Crack is coke cooked with baking soda[00:02:14]
But no matter how you cook it it's still yola[00:02:17]
But the courts got laws that punish folks[00:02:20]
A 100 more times than powdered coke[00:02:23]
You ask why well I'm goin' tell it[00:02:26]
They charge more for crack[00:02:28]
'Cuz black folks sell it[00:02:30]
Is it justice or is it just us[00:02:31]
And them devil motherf**kers against us[00:02:34]
Our future lawyers and presidents[00:02:37]
Got cold prison cells for residence[00:02:40]
And them young black souljas with brave hearts[00:02:42]
Is filling up the cells and the grave yards[00:02:45]
And the black queen she also losing[00:02:48]
Because she turn to theft and prostitution[00:02:51]
To support a habit that's part of a plan[00:02:53]
To regulate the status of the black man[00:02:56]
Will it change or will we all remain[00:02:59]
Some motherf**king pawns in this game[00:03:02]
