I gotta few things I wanna ask the Lord[00:00:02]
Why my people gotta be so poor feel me[00:00:04]
And why's it so rough when you're young and black[00:00:07]
They say you go to jail or get strung on crack[00:00:09]
Why the girl have a baby she was twelve years old[00:00:12]
Ask the state why the cell's gotta be so cold[00:00:14]
And why these niggas here with so many years[00:00:17]
Whole family in court crying so many tears[00:00:19]
Can you picture us living with hope[00:00:21]
When the same ones hanging us is giving us dope[00:00:23]
Shit it's hard to get by[00:00:27]
I pray to God it's still hard to get by[00:00:29]
Just wanna hold my son[00:00:32]
But I can't leave my house until I load my gun[00:00:34]
I gotta grab my sword[00:00:37]
And when I die I got some things I wanna ask the Lord[00:00:38]
Like why we dying from AIDS[00:00:41]
And why on TV it's aight to be gay[00:00:44]
Aint that sorta like my gun got the right to be waved[00:00:46]
If I could sit back and watch a whole cipher of slaves[00:00:49]
Ask my man where the blacks at[00:00:51]
Ask myself where the next Malcolm X at[00:00:53]
Is he makin Salat or upstate like a ape in a box[00:00:55]
Am I a human or a fallen angel[00:00:58]
Got to pray by myself 'cause I'm out of angle[00:01:00]
I aint facin the east tell the brothers I was shakin the beast[00:01:03]
Had the nine and the eight in the streets[00:01:06]
Open your eyes stay wise 'cause even Satan is deep[00:01:08]
I pray for a better living[00:01:11]
Even though I think I'm better dying[00:01:12]
Why 'cause I'd rather hear the angels singing[00:01:15]
Why and I don't wanna hear my people crying feel me black[00:01:17]
We aint gotta die no more I said we aint gotta die no more[00:01:21]
Black woman Listen[00:01:25]
You aint gotta cry no more I said you aint gotta cry no more[00:01:26]
Black child Listen[00:01:30]
We gotta provide for y'all I said we gotta provide for y'all[00:01:31]
Devil man Listen[00:01:34]
We got a surprise for y'all I said we got a surprise for y'all[00:01:36]
Black man Listen[00:01:39]
'Bout to be on some clever shit[00:01:40]
I gotta think if the president is prejudice[00:01:43]
And that's another eight years down[00:01:45]
The 500 year warn that's a eight year round[00:01:47]
I don't really mean to sweat it[00:01:50]
But the war been on before they came on your TV and settle[00:01:52]
They don't need lead to shoot ya[00:01:55]
Why would a man make a computer to head the future[00:01:57]
I think about it in a weed session[00:02:00]
They said better technology all I see is regressin[00:02:02]
Blew up our buildings in fact[00:02:05]
But if they live under the sun then them children is black[00:02:07]
'Fore the devil get more time I'd rather see the world cease[00:02:09]
Hit the afterlife of world peace[00:02:13]
Where black men don't die the women don't cry[00:02:14]
And the little kids get provided for and play in the sky what[00:02:17]
We aint gotta die no more I said we aint gotta die no more[00:02:20]
Black woman Listen[00:02:23]
You aint gotta cry no more I said you aint gotta cry no more[00:02:24]
Black child Listen[00:02:28]
We gotta provide for y'all I said we gotta provide for y'all[00:02:29]
Devil man Listen[00:02:33]
We got a surprise for y'all I said we got a surprise for y'all[00:02:34]
Black man Listen[00:02:38]
