Luyện nghe bài hát Message to the Rappers

Hey, yeah, we the same brothas a long time ago
We was talkin television and doin it on the radio
What we did was to help our realize
They had to get out there and get busy cause it wasnt gonna be
We got respect for you rappers and the way they be
But if youre gon be teachin folks things, make 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 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 know to try and handle their education
Make sure you know the real about past situations
It aint just repeatin what you on the local TV stations
Sometimes they tell lies and put em in a disguise
But the truth is thats why we said it be televised
They dont know what to say to our young folks, but know that you do
And if they knew the truthwhy would they tell you?
The first sign is peace, tell all gun totin young brothas
That the man is glad to see us out killin 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 they got to come in and control our
They half of us on dope and the other half in incarceration
If the ones want dead aint killed by what they instigated
put some dope on a brothas body 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 9-millimeter brothasgive them somthin to about
Tell them you heard that this is the new word, they got to that stuff out
But somehow they feel in the way with a gun in their hands
They feel real they just pullin contracts 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 look at you like youre insane
And they callin you scarecrow and say you aint got no brain
Or start tellin folks that you suddenly gone
Or that white folks had finally co-opted your
Or worse yet that you dont really know
the same thing they said about usa long time ago
Young rappers, one more 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 that respect around
Tell brothas and sistas they gotta calm bullshit down
Cause were terrorizin our old and brought fear into our homes
And they aint got to hang out with the citizens
tell them, Dammitleave the old folks alone
And we who rippin off the neighborhood, tell them, That BS has got to stop!
Tell youre sorry they cant handle it out there
But they got to take the crime off the
And if they look at you youre insane
And they start callin you scarecrow and say you aint got no
Or start tellin folks that you suddenly gone
Or that white folks had co-opted your game
Or worse yet saying that you dont know
Thats the same thing they about me a long time ago
And if they tell folks that you finally lost your
Thats the same they said about us, when we said, Johannesburg
But I think the young folks need to know, that things dont go both
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 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 words wont make you important
only magnify how shallow you are and let everybody know it
And if they look at you they think you insane
Or they call you thinkin you aint got no brain
Or start tellin that you suddenly gone lame
Or that white folks have finally co-opted your
Or you really dont knowThey that about me a long time ago
If they finally start to tell people that you lost your
Thats what said about Johannesburg
You aint insaneyou have got a
You havent gone lame; you have got game
the nerve
Keep the
the nerve
Keep the
Im talkin about
