NYOIL - Don't Get it Twisted lyrics

[Nyoil] High velocity, past mediocrity Transcend hypocrisy, Egyptian mystery systems, the glow of Socrates You can steal my Book of the Dead and my philosophies You can steal the book of true ways and try and copy me Pray in your pantheon, I'm in my pyramid How did I do it kid? Hey there Napolean, little Bonaparte You got a short man complex and no heart Shout at my Sphinx around 21 times Cause he didn't like the fact he had a face like mine But hey~! Mr. Slave Trader, pick this up in your boats Many of us died, some survived because "Hope Floats" [Hook] Don't get it twisted, just because I'm doin it different Don't mean that you can't get lifted Oh no~! Had a shot but you missed it You ain't know, the bro's so gifted [Nyoil] When we was segregated, we got situated We build wealth, all the sudden let's get integrated Rosa Parks wasn't tryin to play the back seat Civil rights, water hoses blows us off of our feet Assa**inated Martin, they murdered Malcolm X Black leaders lose they backbone, they scared they next k**ed off the Panthers and they left a huge void Filled it up with coke and crack and left your son employed Now we're, Blood'n and Crip'n, set trippin But if you listenin to Bronx, they discovered a different mission Zulu beads, MC's and DJ's B-Boys, murals painted on three trains [Hook] - repeat 2X [Nyoil] Grandmaster Caz, Grandmaster Flash, Busy Bee Fearless Four, Treacherous Three, Force M.D.'s Rock my Adidas like Run-D.M.C And the corporations realized they can market to we Now we up to X-Clan, KRS and BDP Criminal Minded, I'm reminded of P.E Those +Intelligent Hoodlums+, they tryin to see college Them MC's had 'em motivated, kickin that knowledge Just when it seemed like we was doin a-aight Now we N.W.A., we n***az4Life Thug lives is lost, Bad Boys is punished Everybody wanna be 'Pac but they not 100 Rats and snitches, self-haters and hood-traitors Keep fillin up prisons, free labor they makin paper Maybe you get it later - later it's TOO LATE~! Let's dedicate this to a people that was once great [Hook] - repeat 2X [Nyoil] I'm so gifted, I'm so gifted! You ain't know? The bro's so gifted You ain't know? ... Nyoil, yeah
