Ghetto Afterlife (explicit) - Talib Kweli/Hi-Tek/Kool G Rap[00:00:00]
These niggaz ain't thugs [00:00:05]
The real thugs is the government[00:00:06]
Don't matter if you independent [00:00:08]
Democrat or republican[00:00:09]
Niggaz politickin the street get into beef[00:00:11]
Start blastin now a new cat is executive chief[00:00:13]
With a passion for heat you get blast in yo' seat[00:00:15]
Die before you crash in yo' Jeep [00:00:18]
Never passin in your sleep[00:00:20]
Like an old man you ain't a fool you got a whole plan[00:00:21]
To conquer territories like Europeans who stole land[00:00:24]
The future of your whole fam' hang in the balance[00:00:26]
You the king and your block is the palace[00:00:28]
Y'all niggaz is the parliament [00:00:31]
Untouchable spot unrushable[00:00:32]
Keep your weight wet call in collect to save a buck or two[00:00:33]
Get mad who the f**k are you What you gonna do [00:00:37]
Exactly what I thought nothin [00:00:40]
In the sport of frontin[00:00:41]
You the undisputed champion [00:00:43]
I'm in a class you can't be in[00:00:44]
My words is flesh like Jesus the aquarian[00:00:52]
It's just a chapter of the night [00:00:57]
In the ghetto afterlife[00:00:59]
Where you just seen or heard[00:01:00]
About or gonna have to fight[00:01:01]
Where they sacrifice the life and niggaz see flashes of light[00:01:03]
When you trapped up in the heights[00:01:05]
But clappers aimin at the wife[00:01:07]
Yeah dudes gettin money is still thuggin[00:01:08]
Chicks gettin money is still ghetto[00:01:10]
Still livin the whole thuggish stilleto[00:01:12]
Your team let the metal burst[00:01:14]
Before you take an L[00:01:16]
You raised in hell let the dust settle first[00:01:17]
Then you ask the question [00:01:19]
Snatchin the life of the innocent[00:01:20]
Sh*t happens huh a man's[00:01:21]
Respected by his actions[00:01:22]
It's the karma of the street [00:01:24]
You try to meet the karma[00:01:25]
While the karma sleep yo it's deep [00:01:27]
But the karma can't be beat[00:01:28]
You don't know your enemy [00:01:29]
So you fightin with yourself[00:01:30]
Relate to rap niggaz cause they writin what you felt[00:01:31]
You got top shelf connects you gettin seasoned like a veteran[00:01:34]
We suck the venom out the snake bite [00:01:37]
Without the medicine[00:01:39]
We benefit from niggaz in tenements dyin for benjamins[00:01:40]
So bad that they know they own coffin measurements[00:01:42]
Ghetto eloquence in the moment of truth [00:01:44]
Don't be hesistant[00:01:47]
Or fall victim to the element word is bond[00:01:49]
It's just a chapter of the night [00:02:01]
In the ghetto afterlife[00:02:02]
Where you just seen or heard about or gonna have to fight[00:02:03]
Where they sacrifice the life[00:02:06]
And niggaz see flashes of light[00:02:07]
When you trapped up in the heights[00:02:09]
But clappers aimin at the wife[00:02:10]
Niggaz get caught up in the struggle[00:02:11]
End up in court in trouble sportin a bubble[00:02:13]
Ford azure bubble [00:02:14]
Importer smuggle forcin a rumble[00:02:15]
Hit the blocks with a portion to double[00:02:17]
Flip and get tossed in the huddle[00:02:19]
Police with one piece short of the puzzle[00:02:20]
It's a hustle peep the street life [00:02:22]
They movin muscle[00:02:24]
And the G's'll make your knees buckle[00:02:24]
Tussle with heat until your feet stand in a pee puddle[00:02:26]
Cheese double but all[00:02:28]
The speedy niggaz bleed puddles[00:02:30]
Make the headlinessome try to escape the fed time[00:02:32]
Phone taps on direct lines tec-9's with the red shine[00:02:34]
Jake climbin through the bedroom blinds[00:02:38]
Tryin to bring you to your deadline [00:02:39]
It's slippery when wet signs[00:02:41]
Red time wipe the sweat around your neck time[00:02:42]
One shot spill out your red wine [00:02:45]
Rock shots to deafen your prime[00:02:47]
Pieces of hot lead left in your mind[00:02:48]
One slug to the left of your spine[00:02:50]
Forever late to rest on the shrine[00:02:52]
