Luyện nghe bài hát Message to the Rappers

Hey, yeah, we the same brothas a long time ago
We was talkin about television and doin it on the
What we did was to help our generation
They had to get out there and get busy cause it 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 youre sayin
Older folks in our neighborhood got plenty of
Remember if it wasnt for them, you be out here now
And I aint comin at you no disrespect
All Im is that you damn well got to be correct
if youre gonna be speakin for a whole generation
And you know enough to try and their education
Make sure you know the deal about past situations
It aint just repeatin you heard on the local TV stations
Sometimes they lies and put em in a truthful disguise
But the is thats why we said it wouldnt be televised
dont know what to say to our young folks, but they know that you do
And if they knew the truthwhy would they tell you?
The first sign is peace, tell all them gun totin young
That the man is to see us out there killin one another
We too much hell when they was shootin us down
So they poisoning our minds tryin to jerk us all around
And they us they got to come in and control our situation
They half of us on dope and the other half in incarceration
If the ones they want dead killed by what they instigated
They put dope on a brothas body and claim it was drug related
Tell them drug means there dont need to be no investigation
Or at least thats the way gon play it on the local 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 feel real independentbut they just contracts for the man
Five and five will you its hopeless out there on the avenue
But if they really knew the truthwhy would they you?
And if they at you like youre insane
And they callin you scarecrow and say you aint got no brain
Or start tellin folks that you suddenly lame
Or that white folks had finally co-opted your
Or worse yet that you dont really know
Thats the same thing said about usa long time ago
rappers, one more suggestion before I get out of your way
But I the respect 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 that down
Cause were terrorizin our old and brought fear into our homes
And they aint got to out with the senior citizens
Just tell them, Dammitleave the old 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 off the block
And if they at you like youre insane
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 really dont know
Thats the same thing they said about me a long ago
And if tell folks that you finally lost your nerve
the same thing they said about us, when we said, Johannesburg
But I think the young folks need to know, things 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 folks
On one song shes your Queen on the next one shes a joke
And you aint said no that I havent heard, but that aint no compliment
It only insults eight people out of ten and questions your
Four letter words or four syllable words make you important
Itll magnify how shallow you are and let everybody know it
And if they at you like they think you insane
Or they call you thinkin you aint got no brain
Or start tellin folks that you gone lame
Or that white folks have finally your game
Or you really dont knowThey said about me a long time ago
If they finally start to people that you lost your nerve
what they said about Johannesburg
You aint insaneyou got a brain
You havent lame; you have got your game
the nerve
Keep the
the nerve
Keep the
Im about peace
