Swoope - Michael lyrics

[Hook] On and on I know life goes I'm mourning the d**h of a Michael Not Jackson, but one missin' in action One who was shot over some fashion Who lost hope when his dad split Who caught AIDS from a self-proclaimed bad b*tch (watch yo mouth homie) My culture's goin' down, gather around, my culture's goin' down Watch it burn baby burn, my culture's goin' down Watch it burn baby burn, my culture's goin' down [Verse 1] Let's start the revolution while we're still young Industry hype well this is the real in for some Off the wall moonwalk no need for a drug I've been bad I'm just tryin' to find my other glove (yo talk to 'em) And play catch with the widow's son He tryin' to ball, I'm tryin' to tell him to own a club Young boy got himself a little lady bug They call em B's in the street, he's tryin' at catch a buzz My hood needs more fathers and less bachelors Introduce 'em to the Father - no more ba*tards Introduce 'em to manhood, let's see what that does If he's tryina reach the stars I'll call NASA (you better preach homie) But I'm no pastor - runaway slave who has now turned rapper College educated but no need for a master's Fall in love with this sound baby and we'll catch ya Hah, man Sho who are you dog? You come around here like this a zoo dog? You look the part, but what's really hood? We don't see you 'round here but ya talk is good [Hook] On and on I know life goes I'm mourning the d**h of a Michael Not Jackson, but one missin' in action One who was shot over some fashion Who lost hope when his dad split Who caught AIDS from a self-proclaimed bad b*tch (watch yo mouth homie) My culture's goin' down, gather around, my culture's goin' down Watch it burn baby burn my, culture's goin' down Watch it burn baby burn my, culture's goin' down [Verse 2] They may have heard about God but they think why bother They heard Hail Mary's but never knew our Fathers Have they heard of the love of Christ? Is heaven so far that it's out of sight? (what's up dog?) A son starts to cry, his father's found dead and I don't know why I can't really look him in his eyes It's hard to explain why his father really died (yo cuz we gotta go) Maybe pride, maybe lies, maybe over a girl who belonged to another guy She's a proud video vixen She ain't got jelly, she the whole dang kitchen Young boy's addicted, yeah them boys itchin' Old men hooked with a look got em fishin' (man, shorty bad) She promised me a hell of a night All I can think to myself is how Lucifer write Brothers in the club throwin' you some bucks How about these same brothers throwin' you some trust? Baby girl you mistake your own value You're only worth the value of the idol you bow down to [Hook] On and on I know life goes I'm mourning the d**h of a Michael Not Jackson, but one missin in action One who was shot over some fashion Who lost hope when his dad split Who caught AIDS from a self-proclaimed bad, bad My culture's goin' down, gather around, my culture's goin' down Gather around, my culture's goin' down Gather around, my culture's goin' down [Outro] Minute after minute Hour after hour Day after day we be lustin' for that power Politicians and thugs, intellectuals and cowards Will do anything to get their hands on some power I gotta get that power Gimme some of that power Need some of that power Can't live without that power I gotta get that power Gimme some of that power Need some of that power Can't live without that power
