Luyện nghe bài hát Message to the Rappers

Hey, yeah, we the same brothas a long time ago
We was talkin about television and 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 for you rappers and the way they be free-weighin
But if youre gon be teachin folks things, make sure you know what youre
Older folks in our got plenty of know-how
Remember if it wasnt for them, you wouldnt be out now
And I aint comin at you no disrespect
All Im sayin is that you 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 repeatin what you heard on the local TV
Sometimes they tell lies and put em in a disguise
But the truth is thats why we it wouldnt be televised
They dont know what to say to our young folks, but they that you do
And if they really knew the truthwhy they tell you?
The first is peace, tell all them gun totin young brothas
the man is glad to see us out there killin one another
We raised too much hell when was shootin us down
So they started poisoning our minds tryin to us all around
And they tell us got to come in and control our situation
want half of us on dope and the other half in incarceration
If the ones they want dead aint killed by what they
put some dope on a brothas body and claim it was drug related
Tell them drug related means there dont need to be no
Or at thats the way theyre gon play it on the local TV stations
All 9-millimeter brothasgive them somthin to think about
them you heard that this is the new word, they got to work that stuff out
But somehow they feel in the wrong way a gun in their 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 truthwhy would they you?
And if they look at you youre insane
And they start callin you and say you aint got no brain
Or start folks that you suddenly gone lame
Or that folks had finally co-opted your game
Or worse yet implying that you dont know
the same thing they said about usa long time ago
Young rappers, one more suggestion before I get out of way
But I the respect you give me and what you got to say
Im sayin protect community and spread that respect around
Tell brothas and they gotta calm that bullshit down
Cause were 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 know who off the neighborhood, tell them, That BS has got to stop!
Tell them sorry they cant handle it out there
But they got to take the off the block
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 finally your game
Or worse yet saying that you really dont
Thats the thing they said about me a long time ago
And if they tell folks that you finally lost your
Thats the same thing they said us, when we said, Johannesburg
But I think the young folks need to know, that things dont go ways
You cant talk respect of 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 insults eight people out of ten and questions your intelligence
letter words or four syllable words wont make you important
Itll only magnify how shallow you are and let know it
And if they at you like they think you insane
Or they you scarecrow thinkin you aint got no brain
Or start tellin folks that you suddenly gone
Or that white folks finally co-opted your 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 what they said Johannesburg
You aint have got a brain
You gone lame; you have got your game
the nerve
Keep the
the nerve
Keep the
Im talkin peace
