Yeah[00:00:04]

S'a few things that I[00:00:09]

I wanna get off my chest[00:00:16]

So I'ma get 'em off[00:00:17]

The d**gs the streets the thugs that beat they women[00:00:20]

The hate and the violence the guns the bullets that sent them[00:00:23]

The ice the jewels the fools that's killing to get them[00:00:25]

Or heist with tools strategically placed in their denim[00:00:28]

The corner the store the spirits the wine the liquor[00:00:30]

The sinning it's venom it's making society sicker[00:00:33]

The henny the 'tron the dale the goose the crown[00:00:35]

The pimps is up the h*es is usually down[00:00:38]

The kids in the hall that piss in the corner the rats[00:00:40]

The chicks be watching the watchers be watching them back[00:00:43]

The fatherless babies the mothers that live in despair[00:00:45]

The tenement builders with roaches just chilling in there[00:00:48]

The silence is never the sirens be scraping the air[00:00:50]

It kills to ignore it but it doesn't hurt you to care[00:00:53]

It hurts to ignore it but it doesn't kill you to care[00:00:55]

It kills to ignore it but do you[00:00:58]

No[00:01:02]

You have a soul[00:01:04]

And it's worth more than gold[00:01:07]

Worth more than gold[00:01:14]

Hoping you're mine[00:01:17]

Let it unfold[00:01:24]

And you will find[00:01:29]

Treasures untold[00:01:34]

That are worth more than gold[00:01:36]

If heaven is a place on earth[00:01:41]

Then there ain't no way a dollar could replace your worth[00:01:42]

I hope you know that you're priceless[00:01:45]

This life gets the point that you feel like[00:01:46]

You could point your steel right to the temple[00:01:48]

It's so simple[00:01:50]

The capitol hill is the capital killers[00:01:51]

Bills passed to bill us back for stamps and keys[00:01:53]

The system is so diseased[00:01:55]

Ain't a vaccine to cure it[00:01:57]

And if your skin like mine we gonna have to endure it[00:01:58]

Until we can birth a new nation[00:02:01]

Mature it to the level of ancient African civilizations[00:02:03]

Half of us up in this nation[00:02:05]

Now I know about the hoops we share[00:02:07]

Peace to my people who's already there[00:02:09]

It's a family affair sisters and brothers of one soul[00:02:11]

Before we hit the heavens above this world gold[00:02:14]

Before we hit the heavens above this world gold[00:02:16]

Before we hit the heavens do you[00:02:19]

Know[00:02:23]

You have a soul[00:02:25]

And it's worth more than gold[00:02:29]

Worth more than gold[00:02:35]

Just let me help you[00:02:40]

Carry your load[00:02:45]

Open your heart[00:02:48]

Share what it holds[00:02:55]

'cause it's worth more than gold[00:02:56]

The wait is up now[00:03:01]

I'm throwing it around[00:03:03]

The hate you handing out[00:03:04]

I throw it to the ground[00:03:06]

Too black too strong for this[00:03:07]

Never thought that I would sit and write a song to this[00:03:09]

But what you expect when a hunger in your stomach so strong[00:03:11]

That when you hear the radio you wanna vomit[00:03:14]

And when you look at the TV your heart plummet[00:03:17]

It shame me to see how they be showing us on it[00:03:19]
