2pac - White Man'z World lyrics

[Sample] You go bustin' your fist against a stone wall You're not usin' your brain That's what the white man wants you to do Look at you, what makes you ashamed of bein black [Intro: 2Pac] Nothin' but love for you my sister Might even know how hard it is, no doubt Bein' a woman, a black woman at that, no doubt sh**, in this white man's world Sometimes we overlook the fact that we be ridin' hard on our sisters We don't be knowin' the pain we be causin' In this white man's world In this white man's world I ain't sayin I'm innocent in all this I'm just sayin' In this white man's world This song is for y'all For all those times that I messed up or we messed up [Verse 1: 2Pac] Dear sister, got me twisted up in prison I miss ya Cryin' lookin' at my niece's and my nephew picture They say don't let this cruel world get ya, kinda suspicious Swearin' one day you might leave me, for somebody that's richer Twist the cap off the bottle, I take a sip and see tomorrow Gotta make it if I have to beg or borrow Readin' love letters; late night, locked down and quiet If brothers don't receive they mail best believe we riot Eatin' Jack-Mack, Starin' at the walls of silence Inside this cage where they captured all my rage and violence In time I learned a few lessons, never fall for riches Apologizes to my true sisters, far from b**hes Help me raise my Black nation, reparations are due It's true, caught up in this world I took advantage of you So tell the babies how I love them, precious boys and girls Born black in this white man's world - and all I heard was [Hook] Who, knows what tomorrow brings In this world, where everyone's blind? And where to go, no matter how far I'll find To let you know, that you're not alone [Collision: 2Pac] Only thing they ever did wrong (yes!, yes!) was bein' born black (no doubt), in this white man's world. All my ghetto motherf**ers be proud to be black if you proud to have this sh** like this, cause ain't nobody got it like this (all my little Black seeds, born Black in the White man'z world). All these motherf**ers wanna be like us. They all wanna be like us, to be the have naughts: all hail. God bless the child that can hold his own, no motherf**in' doubt [Verse 2: 2Pac] Bein' born with less, I must confess only adds on to the stress Two gunshots to my homie's head, died in his vest Shot him to d**h and left him bleedin' for his family to see I pa** his casket gently askin', is there heaven for G's My homeboy's doin' life, his baby momma be stressin' Sheddin' tears when her son, finally ask that questions Where my daddy at? Mama why we live so poor Why you crying? Heard you late night through my bedroom door Now do you love me mama? Why they keep on calling me n***a? Get my weight up with my hate and pay 'em back when I'm bigger And still thuggin' in his jail cell, missing my block Hearin' brothers screamin' all night, wishing they'd stop Proud to be black but why we act like we don't love ourselves Don't look around busta (you s**a) check yourselves Know what it means to be black, whether a man or girl We still struggling, in this white man's world [Hook & Ad-libs (2Pac)] Who, knows what tomorrow brings (Born black in this white man's world) In this world, where everyone's blind? (In this white man's world) And where to go, no matter how far I'll find (In this white man's world) To let you know, that you're not alone [Collision: {*megaphone*} ] We must fight, for brother Mumia We must fight, for brother Mutulu And we must fight, for brother Ruchell Magee We must fight, for brother Geronimo Pratt We must fight, for [?], Zulu, [?] We must fight, for countless political prisoners Who are locked up falsely by this white man [Verse 3: 2Pac] So tell me why you Changed to choose a new direction, in the blink of an eye My time away just made perfection, did you think I'd die Not gon' cry, why should I care Like we holding on to lost love that's no longer there Can you please help me, God bless me please keep my seeds healthy Making all my enemies bleed while my G's wealthy Hoping they bury me with ammunitions, weed, and shells Just in case they trip in heaven - ain't no G's in hell Sister sorry for the pain that I caused your heart I know I'll change if you help me, but don't fall apart Rest in peace to Latasha, Lil' Yummy, and Kato Too much for this cold world to take - ended up bein fatal Every woman in America, especially black Bear with me, can't you see, that we under attack I never meant to cause drama, to my sister and mama Hope we make it, to better times, in this white man's world [Hook] Who, knows what tomorrow brings In world, where everyone's blind? And where to go, no matter how far I'll find To let you know, that you're not alone [Collision: Khalid Abdul Muhammad] "You're out of touch with reality! There are a few of you in a few smoke-filled rooms Calling that the mainstream, while the ma**es of the people --White and black, red, yellow and brown, poor and vulnerable-- are suffering in this nation." [Collision: 2Pac] Never that, in this white man's world, they can't stop us We've been here all this time they ain't took us out They can never take us out No matter what they say, about us bein extinct About us being endangered species, we ain't NEVER gon' leave this We ain't never gon' walk off this planet, unless Y'ALL choose to Use your brain, use your brain It ain't them that's k**in' us it's US that's k**in' us It ain't them that's knockin' us off, it's US that's knockin' us off I'm tellin' you better watch it, or be a victim Be a victim, in this white man's world .. born black, in this white man's world, no doubt And it's dedicated to my motherf**in' teachers Mutulu Shakur, Geronimo Pratt, Mumia Abu Jamal Sekou Odinga, all the real O.G.'s, we out [Minister Farrakhan - Oct. 17, 1995] The seal, and the constitution, reflect the thinking Of the founding fathers, that this was, to be a nation By white people, and for white people Native Americans, Blacks, and all other non-white people Were to be the burden bearers, for the real citizens of this nation
