Cause everyday on the street The black man is getting beat Police line us up on the concrete Now people look at me And always see wrong A new problem everyday I'm trying to be strong Now how strong can a n***a be When the blacks is locked down And the Wghite man's got the key It's getting harder day after day Somebody gots to pay And in my closet lays an AK A newborn is found dead Plus money k**ed the girl And put the gun to his own head You never hear this on the 6:00 news When my n***as get k**ed in the street over tennis shoes It's hard as hell for us Blacks to earn cash man The homeless keep warm by setting fire to a trash can Now everyday I need ends Newports, my n***a weed St. Ides is my best friend Pop's is broke No calls coming in on my phone And money I'm down to my last stone My mom dukes is always banging on my door My music's too loud I got clothes on the floor (pick 'em up) She doesn't understand I'm cruising in the fast lane I'm fresh out of nerves, Ma You're working on my last vein Now how can I explain That I don't wanna take her out But that's stuck in my brain We're having fight after fight Because I leave when it's bright And come skunked up the next night But that's the life that I live, understand me It's bad enough that Po-Nine tried to can me Ayo my lifestyle's rough I got three sisters, four brothers Man, 8 is enough But yet I gots no hero But I got the 4-1-1 on the ghetto Tune into channel zero Tune into channel zero Tune into channel zero Chorus: Lalalalalala Everybody in the world Lalalalalala Everybody Uptown Lalalalalala Everybody in Queens, bounce Tune into channel zero Lalalalalala Everybody in Brooklyn Lalalalalala Everybody in the Bronx Lalalalalala Everybody in the world, bounce Tune into channel zero Verse 2: I live in Queens, New York (and what you do?) I twist a cap with my n***as Smoke a blunt let's start to talk About this ill situation That us blacks is in It's time we build a better nation Motherf** them police Some whites talk about peace Others treat us like beasts But they ain't ready for the planet Marky Mark be talking that slang But he don't even understand it Yea I said Marky Mark Fronting like the buddah is sparked I never seen you in the park You gets awards for your bullsh** sk**s, G A White boy acting black, that sh** k**s me Pants sagging, talking slang kid and all that I never seen you in the project's hall, black Ayo, I wants no Grammy Ya whiteys gave Elvis a stamp And what ya plan to give my man Sammy? The Klu can get a Klan but the Blacks gets one month And every year, what the f** is that there? Now you're best to disappear The Black Planet is near Four cops dismissed down in L.A.? Now what the f** are y'all telling me? There's no justice, understand man, there's just us The only time we stick together is when the Whites rushed us Yeah, I'm beefing with you Blacks Cause only on racial attacks is when we walk in packs We need to stick together daily, understand? Cause I got more reasons than Philip Bailey, man Ayo, us Blacks need to get the facts right Cause hey it's only right when the Whites see us Blacks fight And in the street, n***as fight over concrete To make ends meet
