Luyện nghe bài hát Message to the Rappers

Hey, yeah, we the same brothas a long time ago
We was talkin about television and it on the radio
What we did was to help our generation
had to get out there and get busy cause it wasnt gonna be televised
We got for you rappers and the way they be free-weighin
But if gon be teachin folks things, make sure you know what youre sayin
Older folks in our neighborhood got of know-how
Remember if it wasnt for them, you be out here now
And I aint comin at you with no
All Im is that you damn well got to be correct
Because if gonna be speakin for a whole generation
And you know enough to try and handle their
sure you know the real deal about past situations
It aint repeatin what you heard on the local TV stations
Sometimes they tell lies and put em in a disguise
But the is thats why we said it wouldnt be televised
They dont know to say to our young folks, but they know that you do
And if they really knew the truthwhy would they you?
The first sign is peace, tell all them gun totin brothas
That the man is glad to see us out there killin one
We raised too much hell when they was shootin us
So they started poisoning our tryin to jerk us all around
And they tell us they got to come in and our situation
They want half of us on dope and the other half in
If the ones they want dead aint killed by what they
They put some dope on a brothas and claim it was drug related
Tell them related means there dont need to be no investigation
Or at least thats the way gon play it on the local TV stations
All your 9-millimeter brothasgive them to think about
Tell them you that this is the new word, they got to work that stuff out
But somehow they feel in the wrong way a gun in their hands
They feel real independentbut just pullin contracts for the man
Five and will tell you its hopeless out there on the avenue
But if really knew the truthwhy would they tell you?
And if they look at you youre insane
And they callin you scarecrow and say you aint got no brain
Or start tellin folks that you suddenly lame
Or that white folks had co-opted your game
Or yet implying that you dont really know
Thats the same thing they said about usa long ago
Young rappers, one more suggestion before I get out of way
But I appreciate the you give me and what you got to say
Im sayin protect community and spread that respect around
Tell brothas and sistas they gotta calm bullshit down
Cause were terrorizin our old folks and brought fear into our
And they aint got to hang out the senior citizens
Just tell them, the old folks alone
And we who rippin off the neighborhood, tell them, That BS has got to stop!
Tell them youre sorry they handle it out there
But they got to take the off the block
And if they look at you like youre
And they start you scarecrow and say you aint got no brain
Or start tellin folks that you suddenly lame
Or that white folks had finally co-opted your
Or worse yet saying you really dont know
Thats the thing they said about me a long time ago
And if they tell folks that you finally your nerve
the same thing they said about us, when we said, Johannesburg
But I think the young folks need to know, that things dont go both
You cant talk respect of other song or just every other day
Im speakin on now is the raps about the women folks
On one song shes your African Queen on the one shes a joke
And you aint no words that I havent heard, but that aint no compliment
It insults eight people out of ten and questions your intelligence
letter words or four syllable words wont make you important
Itll magnify how shallow you are and let everybody know it
And if look at you like they think you insane
Or they call you thinkin you aint got no brain
Or start tellin folks you suddenly gone lame
Or that white folks have finally co-opted your
Or you really dont said that about me a long time ago
If they finally to tell people that you lost your nerve
Thats they said about Johannesburg
You aint insaneyou have got a
You havent lame; you have got your game
Rememberkeep the
Keep the
Keep the
the nerve
Im talkin about
