Rap ain't never did sh** for a n***a with no options
You want some positivity go listen to some Common
I'm here to bring you knowledge that they left out at your college
Where you paid a hundred thousand
Just to fall behind anyway
All in the white man's plan to just a**imilate
The n***a's if they stopped they business
Let the monkeys intergrate
Abraham Lincoln never kept none of my n***as safe
Only gave them prison dates
And Church's Chicken dinner plate's
Columbus is beloved
When the f** will Malcom get a day?
Probably never, Try to hide the truth
But they hardly clever
Only show the youth
House n***as wear Cosby sweaters
Wisdom scripted in the prison
Letter's that my father sent us
Waiting for Armageddon
Still slangin' that Arm & Hammer
Use them Cop's as target practice
They owe us a couple L's
How we 'gon know the future when we barely know ourselves?
It ain't hard to tell
The n***a's got it hard as hell

When I say Thug Life, I mean that sh**
Cause these white folks see us as thugs
I don't care what ya'll think
I don't care if you think a lawyer, If you a man, If you an african-american
If you whatever the f** you think you are
We thugs and n***a's to these motherf**ers
You know
And until we on some sh**
I'mma call it like it is
How you going to be a man and we starving? You know?
And we walk down and 5 different houses and not a man in either one of them motherf**ers?
How we going to be a man?
How we gonna be African-Americans and we--
