[Intro] Razah Rubiez Yo, let me build with you for a minute, man Sit down, sit down for a minute Come here, come here, I just wanna talk to you [Verse 1] I try to tell my baby girl "Ain't no need to worry" It's the last days, ma, I know it's gettin' scary n***as gettin' k**ed, murdered over little crumbs We gotta step our game up to save our little sons Can't be havin' our banks with insufficient funds Mayor Bloomberg, tell me how we get these guns Why so many mothers who buryin' their young? And rent is gettin' higher, what is this comin' from? They wanna turn the slums into a condo Y'all all up in my convo checkin' my tonsils On cases, we get 'em, then we beat 'em like congos
On Pico Boulevard, eatin' at Roscoe's Buildin' on the angels in the realms of the cosmos Soon as I hit Watts I'ma hook up wit Hydro The Hell if I know who y'all n***as gon' ride for We pull up to your side door spittin' at five-0 Cops hate us, everytime that they raid us They got plans to erase us each time they face us We get handcuffed and stuffed in America's prison Inmates on a bus just to make us a livin' God gave man law, man gave us religion It's a struggle, no matter you a m**m or Christian You a Buddhist or a Hindu, a Crip or Damu Don't ever ever bite from the hand I lend you [Outro] Renaissance...
