YouknowhatI'msayin? And I ain't gon' let them
go out like that
YouknowhatI'msayin? Chuck,

Em
G
Bm
I gotta speak my mind, it's time to unload
Am
Bm
on this so- called government we've got
Em
Bm
If I lied like them, I think I'd get shot
They sell drugs to kids and say it's us
Em
And when the cops are crooks,
You only see young brothers
Bm
Em
Bm
Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust
My homey got a year for
G
Em
an ounce of weed
while Bush sells weapons to the enemy
G
Bm
blind not to see
"Our government is honest!" Nigga,
please
Em
Cocaine can't be made
Bm
in the United States
Em
Kickin facts like this our government hates
Bm
G

The young kids on the
G
Bm
streets ain't the enemy
G
Em
They're just ghetto
G
Bm
They sell drugs, but who
sells drugs to them?
Em
Bm
Em
Bm
Try the C.I.A. my friend
G
Em
Bm
or the F.B.I. or even Bush
Em
Somebody's gettin rich,
We're just killin ourselves
while others laugh

We gotta realize dope is pure death
Mess with drugs,

Sellin drugs is straight up genocide

Em
Bm

Bm
Sittin up there thinkin you're

straight up stupid
Puttin dope into your body - c'mon,
youknowhatI'msayin?
Em
Bm
You gotta get somethin goin out there
Get some brains,

We are just playin ourselves
cold out of the pocket
Verse 12
I make records for you

Am
Bm
Em
I make records for you,
Bm
but this one's for me
Verse 13
Bm
You know what I'm talkin
bout out there
There's ways to sell out left and right
But you ain't got to do that
There's things more
important than money
I'm talkin bout pride,
Bm
I'm talkin bout dignity
You got it out there
All you got to do is stand on
your own two feet
Don't go out like no sucker
Stay down, youknowhatI'msayin?
Peace
