what the hell is goin onnnnn?

it's a war zone in the poor zone

we chasin after the fortune

in the belly of the beast is scorchin

little kids is forced to tote guns

we so numb it's like fo-fum

bloody redrum for the income

refusin to be a victim

we do it and take it and then some

tryna get out

and give back

the government givin us no slack

they double up on our taxes

send us to jail because we sell crack

but them airplanes been flyin

since reagan was the president

was evident

seem irrelevant

what's the relevance to your precedence

let us live

quit willie lynchin

layzie bone got the heart to mention

the reason we live in attention

cause the po-po a gang of henchmen

who resistin

quit trippin

i'm just tryin to earn a livin

tryin to go up against the system

keepin my ass up out of prison

listen

you younger niggaz

you got to have vision

if you see it you can read it

jesus died for the vision

but the vision is to walk with swag

hold your head and walk in brag

never let 'em make you mad

rep yo' set and get the cash

emergin from the cig' butt

showin up

comin up

barbecues by the pool

the neighbors can't believe it's you

livin how you will

house up on the hill

rides with big wheels

it's they worst nightmare

gimme mines right here

dark skin

curly hair

soul man

african-american

i don't mind your kid starin at my dude

dancin to my tunes

it don't matter cause we set the trend for everything they do

put the road to the wheel

put the fire in your meal

took the dog from your wife

put the log in her life

now it's all about you get it cause yo' shit real light

we the ones that keep it poppin and got the whole world vibin

you wanna get in our minds

cause we got the perfect timin

to build a whole new world

take my gold and my diamonds

but it's okay cause i'm rhymin

chasin this money and grindin

up the ladder i'm climbin - and you can clock me as i roll by!
