The Straightening

"Ain't no fun when the rabbit got the gun. You set the trap for you to run! And everybody black, I got they back and I'm the one. So if you want it better show sumn'"

 

{Verse 1}

You can charge it to the system that failed us

Nailed us

This cross cost us so much

Everything we touch?

Still gold

Still the hold

never wanna let go

Movin fast, too slow

Who to ask? Who knows

Chambers that echo LOUD

Hope you black and still proud

Hope you understand who you are now, here we are Now!

Right up in the thick of it

Same story still tick-tick-tick-tick

Different toilet, same shit

Trained in a language to tame and erase us

ENRAGED

It's a shame how they played us but hey, just another day in the same rigged game

For a little bit of change give us shame like

That's a fair exchange as if that ain't what's to blame.

As if that don't come with change, it's a shame let's just call a spade a spade

Call a spade a spade.

 

(Chorus)

 

Yeah, yeah I hear you talkin'

Whatchu sayin tho?

You wishy washy needta straighten up ya backbone

Either you walkin or you gawkin take yo ass home

Say you ready when it gets hot, yo ass gone

And we'ont really need nunnathose

Nah, we don't really need none of those

We don't really Need NONE of THOSE

yo, we don't really need nunnathose, Hoes!

 

{Verse 2}

 

Root to fruit without straps and boots, still.

Straps and scraps, somehow we still made a meal

Ain't no lesson that time won't reveal

Be second guessing your way up out of a blessing for real.

An indicator to go sharpen the steel, be still.

How can you focus if your scope is broken

Somebody stole and replaced it with a bitter potion

And with the notion of you ever woke up

That you might start a revolution

Might start demanding solutions to problems garnished in hatred

Served up to be debated as if our lives be played with.

Hell yeah there's ANGER followed by DANGER in tryna keep us chained up.

KNUCK IF YOU BUCK!!! Times UP

let's round em up.

Anybody out of line? Is outta luck.

Yeah anybody outta line is outta luck

Tha fuck??

 

(Chorus)
