can't sell dope forever
Singer:dead prez
you can't sell dope foreva
you can't sell coke foreva
you can't sell smoke foreva
you can't sell sex foreva
we gotta get ourselves togetha
it ain't too many dope dealers retiring
it ain't too many old prostitutes vacationing on the islands
instead of knock 'em down
my focus is to inspire 'em
stop worshiping money and worship something higher up
bottom of the barrel man and it ain't shit there
what coz he got good hair?
stuck between a rock and a hard place
look into the sky and there's no sign of god's face
i see my people all stuck in a slump
it's like we just can't get over the hump
we need to be more creative in our ways to get paper
the block will have ya ass in a box for your duration
all i'm sayin' is this. homie
you can't sell dope foreva
you can't sell coke foreva
you can't sell smoke foreva
you can't sell sex foreva
we gotta get ourselves togetha
you can't sell dope foreva
you can't sell coke foreva
you can't sell smoke foreva
you can't sell sex foreva
we gotta get ourselves togetha
i ain't tryin' to preach to ya
the government the bigger gang
hangin' my niggaz for hangin' where they bang at
where we suppose to hang at
i can't afford to rent this month
i know it feel like it ain't no options
a little education for a broader horizon
i'm focused on reachin' the children
if what you doin' ain't workin
there's lynches and killings in corners
with nothin' left to show but a prison diploma
the crooked ass cops tryin' to meet they quota
so every time they see me
i told ya. you can't sell dope foreva
you can't sell coke foreva
you can't sell smoke foreva
you can't sell sex foreva
we gotta get ourselves togetha
you can't sell dope foreva
you can't sell coke foreva
you can't sell smoke foreva
you can't sell sex foreva
we gotta get ourselves togetha
every new nigga think he not gon' get caught
the same thing the next man thought
it's nothin new under the sun
there's a million niggaz locked up
like the government intended
a pawn for the system at the bottom of the pyramid
that's why they call it a trap
it's infested with informers
so watch ya back if you in it
gotta try to find another route
and the wrong time to see it is when you in them cuffs
if you headed down this route
whoa before you crash boy
you don't wanna see them red sirens on the dashboard
you can't sell dope foreva
you can't sell coke foreva
you can't sell smoke foreva
you can't sell sex foreva
we gotta get ourselves togetha
you can't sell dope foreva
you can't sell coke foreva
you can't sell smoke foreva
you can't sell sex foreva
we gotta get ourselves togetha
