Common - A Letter to the Law lyrics

[Common] Dem boy wanna talk like dem wanna gon come But what you gon' do if you got one gun? I sing a song for the hero unsung With faces on the mural of the revolution No looking back, cause in back is what's done Tell the preacher God got more than one son Tell the law my Uzi weighs a ton I walk like a warrior from them I won't run On the streets they try to beat us like a drum In Cincinnati, another brother hung Again he won't see the sun, with his family stung They want us to hold justice, but you handin' me none The same they did Kobe and Michael Jackson Make them the main attraction Turn around and attack them Black gem in the rough, you rugged enough Use your mind and non power, get the government touch Them boy chat chat on how him pop gun I got the black strap to make the cops run They watching me, I'm watching them Them dick boys got a lotta co*k in them My people on the block got a lotta Pac in them And when we roll together, we be rocking them To sleep No time for that, cause there's things to be done Stay true to what I do so the youth dream come From project building, seen a fiend being hung With that happening, why they messing with Saddam? Burn a bush, cause for peace he no push no bu*ton k**ing over oil and grease, no weapons of destruction How can we follow leader when this a corrupt one? The government's a G-Unit and they might buck young Black people in the urban area one I hold up a peace sign but I carry a gun Peace y'all, love
