Words Of Wisdom

2Pac

Explicit
Killing us one by one In one way or another America will find a way to eliminate the problem One by one The problem is, the troublesome black youth of the ghettos And one by one we are being wiped off the face of this earth At an extremely alarming rate And even more alarming is the fact That we are not fighting back Brothers, sistas, niggas When I say "niggas" it is not the nigga we are grown to fear It is not the nigga we say as if it has no meaning But to me It means, "Never Ignorant Getting Goals Acomplishes", nigga Niggas what are we going to do? Walk blind into a line or fight? Fight and die if we must, die Like niggas This is for the masses, the lower classes Ones you left out, jobs were givin', better livin' But we were kept out Made to feel inferior, but we're the superior Break the chains in our brains that made us fear, yeah Pledge allegiance to a flag that neglects us Honor a man that refuses to respect us Emancipation, proclamation, please Nigga just said that to save the nation These are lies that we all accepted "Say no to drugs" but the governments' keep it Running through our community, killing the unity The war on drugs is a war on you and me And yet they say this is the "Home of The Free" But if you ask me its all about hypocrisy The constitution, yo, it don't apply to me And Lady Liberty s'til the bitch lied to me This may be strong, nobody's gonna like what I pumpin' But it's wrong to keeping someone from learning something So get up, it's time to start nation building I'm fed up, we gotta start teaching children That they can be all that they want to to be There's much more to life than just poverty This is definitely, uh, words of wisdom America, America Amerikkka I charge you with the crime of rape, murder, and assault For suppressing and punishing my people I charge you with robbery, for robbing me of my history I charge you with false imprisonment for keeping me Trapped in the projects And the jury finds you guilty on all accounts And you are to serve the consequences for your evil schemes Prosecutor, do you have any more evidence? Words of Wisdom Based upon the strength of an nation Conquer the enemy on with education Protect ya self, reach for what you wanna do Know thy self, teach 'bout what we been through On with the knowledge of the place we've been No one will ever oppress this race again No Malcolm X in my history text, why is is that? 'Cause he tried to educate and liberate all blacks Why is Martin Luther King in my book each week? He told blacks, if they get smacked, turn the other cheek I don't get it, so many questions went through my mind I get sweated, they act as if asking question's a crime But forget it, 'cause one day I'm gonna prove them wrong Now every brother had to smother on the welfare line The American Dream, though it seems like it attainable They're pulling your sleeve, don't believe 'Cause it will strangle ya Pulling the life of your brain, I can't explain Make it so you can obtain from which you came You swear to the Mother that you're living in equality Forgetting your brother that's living here in poverty Thought they had us beat when they took out King But the battle ain't over 'til the black man sings Words of Wisdom The battle ain't over 'til the black man sings Words of Wisdom Nightmare that's what I am America's nightmare I am what you made me The hate and evil that you gave me I shine as a reminder of what you have done to my people For four hundred plus years You should be scared You should be running You should be trying to silence me Ha But you can not escape fate For it is my turn to come Just as you rose you shall fall By my hands America (tsk tsk) You reap what you sow 2pacalypse, America's Nightmare Ice Cube and Da Lench Mob, America's Nightmare Above the Law, America's Nightmare Paris, America's Nightmare Public Enemy, America's Nightmare Krs-one, America's Nightmare New Afrikan Panthers, America's Nightmare Mutulu Shakur, America's Nightmare Geronimo Pratt, America's Nightmare Assada Shakur, America's Nightmare --- Words of Wisdom - 2Pac
