Luyện nghe bài hát Message to the Rappers

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