Laquan - Brother To Brother lyrics

Let it be heard Knowledge The highest level of understanding Wisdom must come forth Yo Laquan, speak [VERSE 1: Laquan] Keepin in tact cause I express myself on wax Read between the lines as I state the facts The fact is known, you gotta be strong to live long And know the difference from right and wrong What's done in the dark will soon shine in the light You're provin em right by s**in the pipe, stereotype Media hype is k**ing me Why must my brothers steal from me? Woman is queen, she feeds what you need at birth Research of self, develops your mental health Man is king, lead the route But some sell out and find a quick way out By selling poison to another Poison for pay rotts the brain away Caught in the devil's trap Some call it dope, some call it crack Call it what you want, it doesn't matter what the name is The effect is still the same Your life goes down the drain in constant pain For a $20 plane ride Comin from inside of me - truth You can hide from me, you can't hide from facts, black Sorry if I've blown your cover I must tell it like it is, brother to brother (Alright) Brother to brother [VERSE 2: Laquan] Open your third eye, vision a clear sight As we take a flight into the life of parasites Some will feed and never give, that's pure greed Climbin, climbin but I'm constantly pulled back Is it the wrong steps or is it because I'm black? We're alkin in circles pacin the same track Never will win a war with someone else We're havin this devilish war within ourselves Brothers and sisters, you are the listeners The react is the track will attack like a maniac If in your blackness, teach your brother practice Black awareness, don't be scared of this I'm on a mission to fix up the mixed up Constantly strivin is the way I'm survivin The sermon is written to better the way you're livin Speakin of livin - I'm livin positive I'm on a quest to redeem your self-esteeem Rehabilitate those who lost faith This here lesson is leavin a reflection On the young to grow to be strong ones A weak mind is brainwashed easily I'm not blind, I see what you're feedin me History, you got it twisted Your leaders are written, mine are unlisted I praise God and no other Words from me to you, brother to brother Brother to brother, brother to brother (Alright) (Alright) Brother to brother [VERSE 3: Laquan] Accused of abusin freedom of speech The reason for that, they dislike what I teach Never in life would I fight for this land The U.S. cares less about a blackman Now's the time to react and impact On the minor set-backs, follow the right tracks Caged in a false educational system The government's on my back because I dissed em With a middle finger and a balled fist Hidin the truth and feedin us bullsh** I use the mic as a tool to guide the fool From a pool of danger I speak with anger And authority, I show loyalty Believe in me and I can prove reality is definitely a part of me By speaking to you brother to brother (Alright) (Alright) Brother to brother Yo, peace to all babies born
