Luyện nghe bài hát Message to the Rappers

Hey, yeah, we the same brothas 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 things, make sure you know what youre sayin
Older folks in our neighborhood got of know-how
Remember if it wasnt for them, you wouldnt be out now
And I aint comin at you with no
All Im is that you damn well got to be correct
Because if youre gonna be for a whole generation
And you know enough to try and their education
Make sure you know the real deal past situations
It aint just what you heard on the local TV stations
Sometimes they lies and put em in a truthful disguise
But the truth is 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 they tell you?
The first sign is peace, tell all gun totin young brothas
That the man is glad to see us out there killin one
We raised too much hell when was shootin us down
So they started poisoning our minds tryin to jerk us all
And they tell us got to come in and control our situation
They want half of us on dope and the other in incarceration
If the ones they want dead aint killed by what instigated
They put some dope on a brothas body and claim it was related
Tell them drug related there dont need to be no investigation
Or at least thats the way theyre gon play it on the TV stations
All your 9-millimeter them somthin to think about
Tell them you heard that this is the new word, they got to that stuff out
But somehow they feel in the wrong way with a gun in hands
They real independentbut 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 callin you scarecrow and say you got no brain
Or start tellin folks that you gone lame
Or that folks had finally co-opted your game
Or worse yet implying you dont really know
Thats the same thing they said 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 spread that around
Tell brothas and sistas they gotta calm bullshit down
Cause were our old folks and brought fear into our homes
And they aint got to hang out with the senior
tell 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 they cant 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 got no brain
Or start folks that you suddenly gone lame
Or white folks had finally co-opted your game
Or worse yet that you really dont know
Thats the same thing said about me a long time ago
And if they folks that you finally lost your nerve
Thats the same thing said about us, when we said, Johannesburg
But I think the young folks need to know, that dont go both ways
You cant talk of every other song or just every other day
What Im speakin on now is the raps about the women
On one song shes your African Queen on the next one a joke
And you aint said no that I havent heard, but that aint no compliment
It only insults eight out of ten and questions your intelligence
Four letter words or four syllable words 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 thinkin you got no brain
Or tellin folks that you suddenly gone lame
Or that white folks have finally co-opted game
Or you really dont said that about me a long time ago
If they start to tell people that you lost your nerve
Thats they said about Johannesburg
You aint insaneyou got a brain
You havent lame; you have got your game
Rememberkeep the
Keep the
Keep the
the nerve
Im talkin about
