Lyrics:
The greatest star
I am by far
But no one knows it, wait
They're gonna hear a voice
A silver flute
They'll cheer each toot (hey, that kid is terrific, hmm)
and laughed, said
I've got hell to pay
The American Dream
He took me by the hand and led me to a grave
It was George Washington's all rotten and decayed
running through my veins
Money's a habit I get by the day (AY! AY)
What's in the bank?
Out on the streets its a risk everyday
Screaming "FUCK THE POLICE!
here from L.A. to Van, all the way back to murderville
I got a license to kill
An' as for these bitches on the street...
You can love my sex, but
It's taught in schools to kids who all feel alone
Oh god the blood
The sinners are weak
The meat will fall right off the bone
Who's home alone
What
Who's
ima be their for my kid
I'm ashamed the choice you made, judge us all like we're nothing
Reject your call cause you a lame
When you fall you drop like
laughter, silent in our sufferin'
Black is bein' strong inside and facing defeat
Poverty made me a beast, I battled the law in the streets
We all
all okay
And we'll all get rich
And we're never gonna fall from grace
Like there's a future for my kids but you won't find it in this place
It's
without fathers have no chance to compete
Your abortion clinic is all by design
In every black neighborhood 60 years in decline
Government aid ain't here
know we blocks shit
Traffic in the streets system
All in your jeep knocks shit
Julio for no reason back the fifth
And he cocks it
Rock shit, we make
candle snuffed
Suckers get abducted by a
Clustering of animus
Where street performers only juggle
Cutlery and cannonballs
Muscle through the analog
A part
the preacher on t.v., the false sincerity
The form letter that's written by the big computers
The nuclear bombs and the kids with no moms
And I'm fearful that
words, but we all can get a sentence//
Am I anti-American because I want us to improve?
Until we as revered as the art up in the Louvre?
While you
to be civil.
I represent for the people,
Let down by a nation,
And left in the streets where it's evil,
Little kids surrounded by knives and heroin
to me
I got Bobby by the pound, Whitney by the key
DJ Screw by the gallon, bitch the game belong to me
Man I pull up in your city and get my Bush
there be light
No gang banging in new york tonight
Just murals of Biggie Smalls, bigger then life
Turn up the kid mic 'cause ya'll ain't listening
tomorrow's parties have gone away.
Fall (all in for the fall) of the American empire,
They said you would never go away.
Fall (all in for the fall)
understand which part of me can be so goddamn unkind
I don't understand why I'm tired all the time
All I know is that last night I wanted to go to bed by
phone
She would panic if I wasn't at home by the street lights
Meantime you couldn't give a damn you had a sweet life
I must've been no older than 5 in
a lease, though
It's a beast fo', and it ain't changed
Y'all tryna pick up Beatle and Drake fans
Not me, but I'm in the streets though, like a Canadian
next door, cross the street from each other
Everybody tryna make their lives better, their children's lives better
And you in the hood
Doing that dumb
ladies throw their bones in my face
I get attacked by a kid with stereo sound
I don't want to hear it but he won't turn it down
Life is tough but it's
him the life he deserved
They knew he got sad, but didn't know how
'Cause the kid didn't dare to talk 'bout it all
He ate and slept and cried in his
Two kids from Tacoma
In a '72 Nova,
No pill and barely old enough to drink,
Learned the ropes and tested science,
Started pentecostal riots,
In just
