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
had to get out there and get busy cause 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 you know what youre sayin
folks in our neighborhood got plenty of know-how
Remember if it wasnt for them, you wouldnt be out now
And I comin at you with no disrespect
All Im sayin is you damn 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 deal past situations
It aint just what you heard on the local TV stations
Sometimes they tell and put em in a truthful disguise
But the truth is thats why we said it be televised
They dont know what to say to our folks, but they 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 there killin one
We too much hell when they was shootin us down
So started poisoning our minds tryin to jerk us all around
And tell us they 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 instigated
They put some on a brothas body and claim it was drug related
Tell them drug related means there dont need to be no
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 that this is the new word, they got to work that stuff out
But somehow they feel in the way with a gun in their hands
They feel real independentbut they 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 tell you?
And if they look at you like insane
And start callin you scarecrow and say you aint got no brain
Or start tellin folks that you suddenly gone
Or that white had finally co-opted your game
Or yet implying that you dont really know
Thats the same thing they said usa long time ago
rappers, one more suggestion 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 gotta calm that bullshit down
Cause were terrorizin our old folks and brought into our homes
And aint got to hang out with the senior citizens
tell them, Dammitleave the old folks alone
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 the crime off the block
And if look at you like youre insane
And they start callin you scarecrow and say you got no brain
Or start tellin folks that you gone lame
Or that white folks had finally your game
Or yet saying that you really dont know
Thats the same they said about me a long time ago
And if they tell folks that you lost your nerve
Thats the same 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 respect of other song or just every other day
What Im on now is the raps about the women folks
On one song shes your African on the next one shes a joke
And you aint no words that I havent heard, but that aint no compliment
It only insults eight people out of ten and your intelligence
Four letter words or four syllable words make you important
Itll only how shallow you are and let everybody know it
And if look at you like they think you insane
Or call you scarecrow thinkin you aint got no brain
Or start tellin folks you suddenly gone lame
Or that white folks have finally your game
Or you really knowThey said that about me a long time ago
If they finally start to tell people that you lost nerve
Thats what they about Johannesburg
You aint insaneyou got a brain
You havent gone you have got your game
Rememberkeep the
Keep the
the nerve
Keep the
Im talkin about
