[00:00.000] 作曲 : William De Vaughn/David Lopez/O'Shea Jackson/Lamar Calhoun
[00:22.71]Stand tall, live your life to the limit
[00:24.90]Cause haterism seem like a ******g epidemic
[00:27.47]And look at Ice Cube, I ain't no gimmick
[00:30.10]I'm straight from the hood, I got to represent it
[00:32.56]Now - every day I think about my color
[00:35.44]And all the crazy *************t we do to one another
[00:37.97]I ain't your blood brother, but I'm your cuz brother
[00:40.85]Let's take it back to the love and how it was brother
[00:43.47]If not, we gon' pull these triggers
[00:46.03]Show the world we deserve to be called *************z
[00:48.86]I make a *************-up, like Don Imus
[00:51.37]bow on his knees, and call me yo' highness
[00:54.13]You can too, you got the power to
[00:56.66]Don't let this mother****** system devour you
[00:59.40]I won't pretend, or act like I'm knowin you
[01:01.93]But check it out I understand what you goin through
[01:04.53]But remember, brothers and sisters
[01:07.61]

[01:28.03]All you wanna hear is a song about ****
[01:30.79]And how a ************* got mo' money than the Pope
[01:33.43]But he'll never tell you when he drop the soap
[01:35.94]No~! Ice Cube is here to drop you a note
[01:38.53]Cause some of our folk used to hang from ropes
[01:41.33]And some of our people used to hang from trees
[01:43.89]Now the only thing hangin muh'****** is DEEZ
[01:46.72]So, get your mind right, and I'ma rhyme right
[01:49.54]************* the limelight, and a blind dyke
[01:52.13]I'm the sunlight, too bright to look
[01:54.94]When it's all said and done I should write the book
[01:57.65]You too cool for school, too old to know?
[01:59.96]Get your ass off the grassroots and let 'em grow
[02:02.54]I understand, it ain't no love lost
[02:04.98]But little kids, it ain't no Santa Claus
[02:07.98]But remember, brothers and sisters
[02:10.81]
[02:12.11]You can still, stand, tall
[02:15.95]
[02:17.63]Just be thankful...
[02:18.88]
[02:22.14]For what you got
[02:24.03]
[02:28.78]I was born in the mud but I came out clean
[02:31.05]That's 'til the government tried to intervene
[02:33.99]Tried to lock me up when I was only 19
[02:36.76]Don't never ever ever let 'em kill your dream
[02:39.27]I make *************t raw that piss off the law
[02:42.07]If you want some fake *************t turn this off
[02:44.42]If you want some realness I know you can feel this
[02:47.16]Maybe we can heal this just like an illness
[02:49.63]
[02:50.19]Black on black, I got'cho back
[02:52.50]People don't think that we know how to act
[02:55.24]Just because our neighborhood is filled with crack
[02:57.52]And the CIA, won't take it back
[02:59.89]
[03:00.46]Never on top, always on the bottom
[03:03.03]Never put your trust in Hillary Rodham
[03:05.71]Cause I can tell you now it's gon' turn out rotten
[03:08.16]Keep on pu*************n, get 'em 'til we got 'em
[03:10.80]But remember, brothers and sisters
[03:14.20]
[03:15.20]You can still, stand, tall
[03:19.22]
[03:20.73]Just be thankful...
[03:22.23]
[03:25.88]For what you got
[03:27.57]
[03:35.54]Raise your hand if you sick of this bull*************t
[03:37.41]
[03:38.53]Heh, in the belly of the evil empire fades
[03:42.12]
