Luyện nghe bài hát Message to the Rappers

Hey, yeah, we the same from a long time ago
We was about television and doin it on the radio
we did was to help our generation realize
They had to get out there and get busy cause it gonna be televised
We got respect for you and the way they be free-weighin
But if youre gon be teachin folks things, make sure you know youre sayin
Older folks in our neighborhood got of know-how
Remember if it for them, you wouldnt be out here now
And I aint at you with no disrespect
All Im sayin is that you well got to be correct
Because if gonna be speakin for a whole generation
And you enough to try and handle their education
Make sure you know the real deal about past
It aint just repeatin what you on the local TV stations
they tell lies and put em in a truthful disguise
But the truth is thats why we said it wouldnt be
They dont what to say to our young folks, but they know that you do
And if they really knew the 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 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 in incarceration
If the ones they dead aint killed by what they instigated
They put some dope on a brothas body and it was drug related
Tell them drug related means dont need to be no investigation
Or at least thats the way theyre gon play it on the TV stations
All your brothasgive them somthin to think about
Tell them you heard that is the new word, they got to work that stuff out
But somehow they in the wrong way with a gun in their hands
They feel real they just pullin contracts for the man
Five and five tell you its hopeless out there on the avenue
But if they really knew the would they tell you?
And if they look at you like youre
And they start you scarecrow and say you aint got no brain
Or tellin folks that you suddenly gone lame
Or that folks had finally co-opted your game
Or worse yet that you dont really know
Thats the same thing they said about usa time ago
Young rappers, one 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 respect
Tell brothas and they gotta calm that bullshit down
Cause terrorizin 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 who rippin off the neighborhood, tell them, That BS has got to stop!
Tell them youre sorry they cant it out there
But they got to the crime off the block
And if they at you like youre insane
And they start callin you scarecrow and say you aint got no
Or tellin folks that you suddenly gone lame
Or that white folks had finally co-opted your
Or worse yet saying that you really dont
Thats the same thing said about me a long time ago
And if they tell folks that you finally lost nerve
Thats the same thing they said about us, when we said,
But I the young folks need to know, that things dont go both ways
You cant talk respect of other song or just every other day
What Im speakin on now is the raps about the women
On one song shes your Queen on the next one shes a joke
And you aint said no words that I heard, but that aint no compliment
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 look at you like they think you insane
Or they call you scarecrow thinkin you got no brain
Or start tellin folks that you gone lame
Or that white folks have co-opted your game
Or you really dont knowThey said that me a long time ago
If finally start to tell people that you lost your nerve
what they said about Johannesburg
You aint insaneyou got a brain
You havent gone lame; you have got your
Rememberkeep the
the nerve
Keep the
the nerve
Im talkin about
