Tupac Shakur (2Pac)
“see the lying in my eyes when I'm coming for the get back,
big mac, cock gunfire, hot tires they burning, they got us all dieing and burning,
they lieing to destroy our earth, little birth diseases, 30 millionth church for Jesus
and still our young eating out cans, chiefing grams and weapons, I sold my first swam at seven,
A smidget after first grade, shirt sprayed with talents, you made us hurt make the balance.
Instead of preaching violence and fear, Silenced shares we moving, The evil go ahead a movement Or share me the spiritual form, hear a song rebellion, we gathered up the strong and felons, the youth and all the poverty strain and were all the poverty dwelling, The story that the pottery telling You find all in potter's field or the government files the government got a plan to eliminate the life of every black soul on the slavery land and oppositions we abolishing a slavery plan, pay attention every serious political band got a division full of killers imperial scams
they wanna kill us all off and incarcerate the family of anyone opposing the war They want us all to appreciate death and believe up in the white god praying to the heavens above. Ima never let a devil come separate the adamic covenant, The potter's field criminals coming for the government.” The Government
“Steady stressin' Smith and Wessons count my blessings
Class is in session: the worst question is the first question
Why do we work like slaves sweatin' blades to an early grave
Never got paid but still we slave (In the nine tre')
Answer that then answer this too-
Love's gonna get ya you know it's true life's a bitch true
You best to backtrack and try to act black and live
Not to be phony and positive but why be negative?
What's the matter G? Black cat got your tongue
Fat track gotcha sprung now your hung (Do ya feel me?)
Dum dum diddy is it me?
Attempt to reach each and every brother on the streets
If not peace then at least let's get a piece
I'm tired of seeing bodies on the streets- deceased
Lookin' through my highschool yearbook
Reminiscin' of the tears as the years took
One homie, two homie, three homies - POOF
We used to have troops but now there's no more youth to shoot
God come save the misbegotten
Lost ghetto souls of Black Cotton (In God's eyes)” Black Cotton
“As real as it seems the American Dream
Ain't nothing but another calculated schemes
To get us locked up shot up back in chains
To deny us of the future rob our names
Kept my history of mystery but now I see
The American Dream wasn't meant for me
Cause lady liberty is a hypocrite she lied to me
Promised me freedom, education, equality
Never gave me nothing but slavery
And now look at how dangerous you made me
Calling me a mad man cause I'm strong and bold
With this dump full of knowledge of the lies you told
Promised me emancipation in this new nation
All you ever gave my people was starvation
Fathers of our country never cared for me
They kept my ancestors shackled up in slavery
And Uncle Sam never did a damn thing for me
Except lie about the facts in my history
So now I'm sitting here mad cause I'm unemployed
But the government's glad cause they enjoyed
When my people are down so they can screw us around
Time to change the government now panther power
My Mother never let me forget my history
Hoping I was set free chains never put on me
Wanted to be more than just free
Had to know the true facts about my history
I couldn't settle for being a statistic
Couldn't survive in this capitalistic
Government cause it was meant to hold us back
Using ignorant, drugs, to sneak attack
In my community, they killed the unity
But when I charged them, tried to claim immunity
I strike America like a case of heart disease
Panther power is running through my arteries
Try to stop oh boy you'll be clawed to death
Cause I'll be fighting for my freedom with my dying breath
Do you remember that is what I'm asking you?
You think you living free don't let me laugh at you
Open your eyes realize that you have been locked in chains
Said you wasn't civilized and stole your name
'Cause some time has passed seem you all forget
There ain't no liberty to you and me we all ain't free yet
Panther power” Panther Power
“Suppress the revolution of premeditated scheme
Introduce a drug called crack to us ghetto teens
Got a law for raw…, now, playa what it be like?
When will … see they got us bleedin' with three strikes
Can't seem to focus hopeless, with violent thoughts I wrote this
Got these Devils petrified, hidin' from my hocus-pocus
And so I learned to earn my currency and over time
Affiliated, clearly click a military mind
May God forgive us though we dwell inside a paradox
Thugged out and drug dealin', from the womb to the block
My live mind got me survivin' five rounds (shots)
My forty-five got me fortified with live rounds
When shit's thick we plot hits, when our Glock spits
All hail, out on bail, wrath of the 2Pacalypse
Forever ghetto necessary picture food stamps
Outlaw Th*g … never left the boot camp” Military Minds
