[Verse 1]
Are we back on?
Let's go
(One, two, three, four)
Yo, yo, back in it, back in it
Oh!
[Verse 2]
The one thing that
The black audience realized
Is when the tower fell there was some changes
There was a change in societies
Where all of a sudden they went from being
Somewhat of the people still having a say
To now it's, what ever the masses do
So there's not even really a choice
That a black audience is being given
[Verse 3]
They talk about us
Not usin' the word ****
I wanna speak about a couple issues much bigger
Like most black folks live below the poverty line
And they wonder why the fuck we attracted to crime
Got **** shootin' **** at the drop of a dime
Babies in the street die way before they time
Many single parent mothers packin' welfare lines
And **** bein' donors, the apocalypse is on us
**** take onus, that's all I ever asked
And got pegged as a hater
Man they tryin' to take **** out with the fader
Started with three down to two, six later
Back independent 'cause to kids I wouldn't cater
Go against the system you in bed with Al-Qaeda
Dog they not playin'
Look here, they goin' to war with more than rap
This our motherfuckin' lives now its time to fight back
It's like that
[Verse 4]
They're coming closer for you
They're gonna get you while you sleep
Watch out
Don't sleep, beware
They're coming closer for you
And they won't stop 'till you delete
Watch out
Don't sleep, beware
[Verse 5]
Yes, sir
One time
Uh, uh, yo
I came back from NY
**** lost his deal
Felt sick to the stomach
Almost lost his meal
Lost friends from way back
And on top of all that
They tryin' to blame this rap shit
For all of our ills
Like I can stick you up with a mic
Like I can rape you with a verse
Or use a verb as a knife
Like before Kool Herc
Everything was alright
Like y'all wasn't callin'
Black women hoes befo' "Rappers Delight"
Shit
Thats just idiot talk
This whole shit is a farce
I refuse to be hip-hop's pallbearer
Had to tell my son cut that bullshit off
Them ain't videos ****
That's psychological warfare
Too many different variations of the same face
Designed to keep yo' broke ass in the same place
Somethin' else more yo it gots to be for
I'ma end transmission 'cause they watchin' me
I know they watchin' me
[Verse 6]
They're coming closer for you
They're gonna get you while you sleep
Watch out
Don't sleep, beware
They're coming closer for you
And they won't stop 'till you delete
Watch out
Don't sleep, beware
[Verse 7]
Yeah, do not attempt to adjust your station
(Closer, closer, beware)
There is nothing wrong, for we have taken over
(Oh, closer, closer beware)
Come to give y'all the truth
Phonte, Big Pooh, Illmind on the beat
It's time to wake 'em the fuck up yo
Yeah!
[Verse 8]
They're coming closer for you
They're gonna get you while you sleep
(Closer, closer, oh be cool, be cool)
Watch out
Don't sleep, beware
(Oh, beware)
They're coming closer for you
And they won't stop 'till you delete
Watch out
Don't sleep, beware
(Beware)
[Verse 9]
Look I told you I wasn't steppin' to you
I ain't disrespectin' you son
You want it to be one way
What?
You want it to be one way
Man, I don't ever want it with you
You want it to be one way
Man stop!
Stop sayin' that
