Luyện nghe bài hát Message to the Rappers

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