Now, I was told to never off more than I could chew But then you better enough, for if you don't, my boy, you're blue Now I wonder, can others see the that I see? Or do they see and say blame it on society?
The days of smart enough come to over, just say And as I live and learn there's always someone mouthing Speaking on an issue, praise you or diss you Lange as strong, they fly by me Scott tissue
My people, from nigger to to man or color, Killed my father and my brother so you could rape my mother Now you wonder, why is it through instinct you Wouldn't dare me to stare, one for yourself, out of here Not to worry, to harm intention of my creed But to your greed and give me what I need
Opportunity, for a of me And generations to come with in Now harmony, is a total love of For those who are or better yet like to sing But of mind it is my right for the spark will ignite
I can catch a cab at the town at midnight 'Till I can be and not be thought as worse 'Till I can buy a from Howard Beach to the Hearse 'Till I can get the pill fear of eject And occupations which I I can have if I select Now if I so select and reach out to touch How can you say that I ask for too
Don't to me if good times are granted 'till I be Don't tell me of the countries or the hours you seek Don't tell me to keep trying, you I won't agree Double negative positively black with N.V.
As a player of the game of the lifetime I am playing I bet you're nodding, shake your to what I am saying It's keep then but those of men color of skin could even begin to is it to ponder, to let another bother?
Listen, stay not dismissing of vision makes division product no ambition Wishes you wish upon which for more you wishes If I wish not to record, steady now I wash dishes
Wish while I wash, the hot gets colder Black I'm saying in fact the dish gets clean and I get older Seemly so, the dishes will grow to far beyond me Lost my wish and a dish so now I'm wishy washy
Understand foundation, my own creation If dumb and jump, then get no ovation But restriction, boom penes a lot of friction I then wash a with out pay boom, N.W.A
Think I'm lying? Black, I'm crying, so the would turn to crystal forming on my dishes so I wash until dismissal Wash my prints are wrinkled then they let me go I not where I'm going so I know not where I go
My people me money, but the money much too low For me to the match of present day so I still need some dough up a suit, I wish that it were cute Borrow a token and a smoking I begin a less hope
Intervening, application me on onto frustration And duration of my is spent with lack of occupation Time to go for what I know, I know not of I wish But of soap and a towel and water and a dish
speak to me if good times are granted 'till I be Don't me of the countries or the hours that you seek Don't tell me to keep trying, you I won't agree Double negative means positively black N.V.

For time is short, no is bought only in the wrong if you get caught So kick in doors, bang on walls, in halls Get yours, get
Don't speak to me if good are granted 'till I be Don't me of the countries or the hours that you seek Don't me to keep trying, you know I won't agree Double negative positively black with N.V.
