2 Live Crew - In the Dust (New Jack City) lyrics

[licking noise] "If you would s** my soul, I will lick your funky emotions." "Is this America?! YEAH! Is this freedom?! NO! Is this Democracy?! NO! Is equality?! NO! What do we want? FREEDOM!!" [Fresh Kid Ice] Taking this sh** into the effect mode Expressing my feelings before I exploded About the suffering pa**ed on to a black man By the money hungry seeking white man f**ing up our streets with pollution Then lock a n***a up for the solution ("Get in that cell, boy!") There they go now taking on the little man f** wit the cartel or the white man [samples from "Scarface"] Arrest musicains for the things they say But can't find a crime after it got sprayed This is America, In God We Trust We won justice but...a dick is in the dust... [Amazing V] I'm stereotyped, so I fit the description A n***a has the stigma for pushing or pimpin' Police hara** me and public embarra** me They use brutality without asking me I'm mad cause I was caught and reached for his license Cops pulls the gun [*fires*] and cold-iced him And I'm a victim of society I got societal ills It's harder to pay bills than pop pills They send a brother off to fight for your country When ask for ours, we get nothing I look for work and get my feelings hurt They got my back against the wall And my dick is in the DIRT... [Luke "Skyywalker" Campbell - talking] Let's talk about this man they call Nino Brown The black man they call Nino Brown You know there's alot of Nino Browns in every city In the United States of America America had formed a Nino Brown in every city Basically because we have no way out! Ah, Is that what America really wants us to think That we have don't way out? Here's an example, you have never seen A black man come into Miami...with pounds and pounds of marijuana Pounds and pounds of c**aine You have never seen a black man drop off A kilo load of c**aine out of a plane You've never seen this Yet it is still in our community everyday And we're the ones going to jail for it [Fresh Kid Ice] The system is designed to lead us to stray So we turn to guns and d** for our pay It's the sign of the times "I gotta get mine, all I live is a life of crime" [Amazing V] I come up hard from the ran down ghetto You talk your a** off, but tell me what a n***a know All I see is alot of neighborhood drama Babies crying, I wonder where's the mama? She O.D. and got rushed to trauma A dealer had to deal to make a fast buck She was just a patient...what the f**?! His back's against the wall...and his dick's in the DUST...
