Tekst piosenki
I know some people might not understand me
I might not go number 1 or win a grammy
But uh
I done, done the lovin, I done, done the touchin
All the kissing and hugging baby you know its nothing
Everybody know that I can oh-oh
Ladies love it when I go oh-oh
[JD:]
You trying to stop all that?
[Avant:]
No
[JD:]
Well brother please can you make me understand what youre sayin
[Avant:]
Listen man
Troubles of the world today
Its got me heated
Every word Im about to say
I feel is needed
So let me talk about the things thats goin on (going on)
The war is over but the troops aint home
I see the bullies flying, see the people dying
See the babies crying
Whats the reason
[JD:]
So who you supposed to be Public Enemy #1
Now next thing I know youre gonna be trying to tell me to put my guns down
[Avant:]
Im trying to have a conversation with you fore you let these streets get you,
Show you a bigger picture than standing on this block
[JD:]
You wanna talk well where the -- at
Cause homie I dont need that
Stuff you talking what Im doin aint never gonna stop
You must been watching too much CNN
Its about them dividends
The hood aint change I dont know where you been
-- everybody suffering, and its way more tougher than it was
And we dont never see nobody helping us
[Avant:]
Okay
Thats so true
I can feel your pain
Im not here to argue
Just put you up on game
But I guess you the type I cant tell a damn thing
Couple of dollars in your pocket and you start losing your brain
Its a trap
Got you hustling all through the night
Its a trap
They takin pictures in broad daylight
Dont let the system trick you into nothing else
Please
Be a man and stand for yourself
If you not rich by now you probably never get it
How can I get this -- to listen to what Im sayin to him
Dont be a fool with that I dont give a damn attitude
Cause I know you got someone at home that you in love with
[Avant:]
Im trying to have a conversation with you fore you let these streets get you,
Show you a bigger picture than standing on this block
[JD:]
You wanna talk well where the -- at
Cause homie I dont need that
Stuff you talking what Im doin aint never gonna stop
[Avant:]
Please listen
Hear me when I say dont
Let this system knock you
Lock your ass away cause
You got things to live for, your family and your children
Dont want to lose the life that youve been living
[JD:]
Stuff you talking what Im doin aint never gonna stop
[Avant:]
Please listen (please listen)
Hear me when I say dont (I got some serious words for you my brothers)
Let this system knock you (90% of us on lockdown)
Lock your ass away cause (and we dont need another)
You got things to live for, your family and your children
(oh, so many brothers doing life cant see their kids, Im so sincere)
Dont want to lose the life that youve been living (Im so sincere)
So sincere
Cut!
