Statik Selektah - We're Both Wrong lyrics

[Produced by Q-Tip] [Verse 1: Saigon] How could we have respect for you? Look what we subjected to Supposed to serve and protect You acting all unprofessional Restraining a man is not grabbing him by his testicles s**er getting a gun and a badge and get disrespectful I'll tell you why this sh** is so stressful 'cause we been going through it since we came to America On a vessel Pick up a social studies book every time that they mention us They was even enslaving us, trading us or was lynching us So what's the big difference? Whether it's a rope or a scope, the objective is to go out and hit n***as Speaking this from the heart I been doing the knowledge We're seeing that slavery was never truly abolished They making uzis with dollars they can use for the colleges What is this? This is the movement of tricknologists The only thing we're doing wrong is not fighting back You ain't got the light to rap but you know what's right and exact, jack [Hook: Saigon] How the hell am I wrong? When your people been doing my people wrong for so long Now all we got is the hope and the focus to hold on Y'all been k**ing us for so long, it can't go on How we both wrong? [Verse 2: Termanology] If they shoot at us, they probably get awarded If we shoot at them, they popping us when they spot us It's harder to live life, more conscious and like marauders And focus on the problem of who could fix it in office Then picking up a bottle, a b**h, and a couple garcia's And heading to the crib, to kick it and get some knowledge Do we want knowledge? And bread for our toddlers? Saved in accounts or more belts and wallets And me I'm part of the problem, purchasing gucci products Before, I put away that money for my daughters collage And still a great father but times are getting harder No money for private school, I guess should go harder Tryna lock in in stability, cuz of my family history All of them died broke, so I'm tryna be the remedy Our ghetto kids never inherit no stocks and bonds That's something to think about When you putting them Jordan's on [Hook: Saigon & Termanology] How the hell am I wrong? When your people been doing my people wrong for so long Now all we got is the hope and the focus to hold on Y'all been k**ing us for so long, it can't go on How we both wrong?, damn
