Luyện nghe bài hát Message to the Rappers

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