whats gangsta
in my humble opinion
whats gangsta is knowledge
spilled out on the track
tell me who are we really when we don't know our history
what good is the church for when you cannot trust the priest
guess the lies are easier to swallow than it is to face the truth but the struggles of tomorrow are the same ones as the past. wishing i could prophecy
or perhaps just fade away for brand new better day so until my dying day
living life like a catch 22
for every step i try to take yet they wanna push me back
i aint worried about it see
cause i can handle that
if the sidewalk could speak it would tell you how?
while little girls were playing double dutch and look outs were guiding the police
while they restored the projects for the inside to remain the same
cause if it looks brand new to me and you we won't feel the need for change
its got me pasing back and forth on concrete
wishing i could prophecy
or perhaps just fade away so until my dying day
this one is for? that don died way to soon in the same block with the cracked rocks and another closed down school. for all the precious babies with fathers locked down with fake crime
for the sleep walking and blind chilling on?
i ain't gonna settle
no change is going to come
to each one reaches one
my word ain't done
am gonna keep on living
