Just Don't Learn - Brand Nubian (努比亚合唱团)[00:00:00]
We dealin with death in abundance[00:00:22]
Dirty guns and the pungent smell of those who fell[00:00:25]
Bodies like commodoties ready to sell[00:00:29]
Take you around the world for a hundred dollars[00:00:32]
Meanwhile a little baby hollers[00:00:34]
Hopin that she doesn't follow in her mother's footsteps[00:00:37]
Of drugs and sex every day [00:00:40]
More thugs to arrest[00:00:42]
And today could be the day[00:00:43]
You catch a slug in your chest[00:00:44]
Funny thing about life[00:00:46]
Nobody gets out alive[00:00:47]
The trick is to see how long you can survive[00:00:49]
We deprived of our basic needs[00:00:52]
Sufferin at the hands of a racist greed[00:00:53]
In the black woman's where I place my seed[00:00:57]
When they grow will they know [00:01:00]
That I tried to make it better for them [00:01:01]
Will I be dead or inside of a federal pen [00:01:03]
Niggaz just don't learn [00:01:06]
Niggaz just won't learn[00:01:07]
As we walk through the valley of dry bones[00:01:09]
Death from New York to Cali [00:01:11]
The sh*t hits homes[00:01:13]
Niggaz with 40 calibers that'll split ya bone[00:01:15]
Other niggaz with silencers [00:01:17]
With gats that's chrome[00:01:19]
It seems the violence only escalates I'm concerned[00:01:20]
When the slug penetrate your flesh see it burn[00:01:23]
Livin with the constant threat [00:01:26]
That it could be yo' turn[00:01:28]
Niggaz just don't learn [00:01:29]
Niggaz just won't learn[00:01:30]
On 8th Ave keep bouncin in the Mave'[00:01:32]
He don't even know the type of problems he gon' have[00:01:35]
He facin obstacles greed [00:01:38]
It's the large city need[00:01:40]
Remember when he ain't smoke w**d[00:01:42]
Jail hold's raw spittin seed[00:01:44]
In the Polo Grounds [00:01:46]
In 89 we dodged steed[00:01:48]
All the slaves ain't freed[00:01:50]
Make him the captain muh'f**ker we'll lead[00:01:52]
Shoot him in the chest muh'f**ker will bleed[00:01:54]
Cause way he's goin he's gon' need God-speed[00:01:57]
I seen a man die gettin shot in the eye[00:02:00]
And then leave this earth with a sigh[00:02:04]
I wish I had a dollar for every funeral parlor[00:02:07]
That I been to and I ain't tryin to end to[00:02:10]
I've been a friend to a lot of dead niggaz[00:02:12]
With multiple gunshots [00:02:15]
Niggaz used to run spots[00:02:16]
As we walk through the valley of dry bones[00:02:18]
Death from New York to Cali [00:02:21]
The sh*t hits homes[00:02:23]
Niggaz with 40 calibers [00:02:24]
That'll split ya bone[00:02:25]
Other niggaz with silencers [00:02:27]
With gats that's chrome[00:02:28]
It seems the violence only escalates I'm concerned[00:02:30]
When the slug penetrate your flesh see it burn[00:02:33]
Livin with the constant threat [00:02:36]
That it could be yo' turn[00:02:37]
Niggaz just don't learn niggaz just won't learn[00:02:39]
Now little shorties don't have a chance[00:02:41]
Cause hard times be comin down like a avalanche[00:02:43]
We play the streets until we carried on a ambulance[00:02:46]
Day by day we be the victims of the circumstance[00:02:49]
See the poison has us movin at a steady flow[00:02:52]
It filters through your radio and your video[00:02:55]
You ever once stop to think and wonder why it's so [00:02:58]
We don't know[00:03:01]
Cause we blinded by the fog of 'dro [00:03:02]
So we let it go[00:03:04]
We dedicate our whole careers to save our dyin nation[00:03:05]
Cause what we facin is the process of elimination[00:03:08]
So busy chasin that our history begins erasin[00:03:11]
A savage nation that is headin for anihilation[00:03:14]
Time out - put the killin to a drought[00:03:17]
And shorty stop runnin[00:03:19]
Around puttin all them dicks in yo' mouth[00:03:21]
I be concerned cause we burn baby burn[00:03:22]
And we just don't learn[00:03:25]
As we walk through the valley of dry bones[00:03:28]
Death from New York to Cali [00:03:31]
The sh*t hits homes[00:03:32]
Niggaz with 40 calibers [00:03:34]
That'll split ya bone[00:03:35]
Other niggaz with silencers [00:03:36]
With gats that's chrome[00:03:38]
It seems the violence only escalates I'm concerned[00:03:39]
When the slug penetrate your flesh see it burn[00:03:42]
Livin with the constant threat [00:03:45]
That it could be yo' turn[00:03:47]
Niggaz just don't learn niggaz just won't learn[00:03:48]
As we walk through the valley of dry bones[00:03:51]
Death from New York to Cali [00:03:54]
The sh*t hits homes[00:03:56]
Niggaz with 40 calibers [00:03:57]
That'll split ya bone[00:03:58]
Other niggaz with silencers [00:03:59]
With gats that's chrome[00:04:01]
It seems the violence only escalates I'm concerned[00:04:02]
When the slug penetrate your flesh see it burn[00:04:05]
Livin with the constant threat [00:04:08]
That it could be yo' turn[00:04:10]
Niggaz just don't learn niggaz just won't learn[00:04:11]
