lyrics

Are we transmitting?

Hello Governor how you feeling?
Hop on the bandwagon we bout to make a killing.
Money in the basement. Lock it away in the ceiling
till it’s time to spend it on something to play with.
Like a lady, ready to spread for me.
Instead of using her head she brings her bed to me.
Cause somebody told her I had some bread stashed
and she can get half if she give some head to me. Hmm.
It’s amazing you would think that, but you Black
so you gullible than a mutha fucker its just facts,
I can beat keep my receipt and take your ass back
for something to eat cause you’re that cheap.
You don’t know me I’m broke, this isn’t a news flash.
But you so used to sniffing a dudes ass
that the truth has to really bruise your soul;
and by then you don’t fuck with niggas no more.
I smell Willie Lynch’s stench in this shit.
House no father pops turned against.
Mama playing both roles living with a boat load
thirsty for something that a brother cannot quench so.
The guy choose that you are something to lie to.
Looking for love but the love is not inside you.
What’s there is, nail and hair appointments.
You’re hollowed out now the shits pointless.

Are we transmitting? Good.

I wanna change.
I’m not gonna be the same as others before me.
I’ve felt the pain.
I don’t wanna die the same as the others before me.

What’s in the trees old bird?
Is it a recipe for piece on Earth?
Or some regular nigga shit to label us the enemy
and make a white lady keep a piece on her person?
She nervous the coons ain’t changed.
No individuals born niggas join gangs
to find purpose brothers ain’t perfect with pain.
Nobody to guide us, so it drives us insane.
It’s no lane but sports and crack game for us.
Of course the dope slowed so niggas rap for bucks.
Now the chick from verse one she wetter than an aqueduct.
You fuck now she bout to have some ducks for you.
You don’t know what the fuck to do.
Give up school to support them pick up some tools,
Or skip town let things cool down.
Come back around when that baby becomes two.
Or eighteen, whatever the rule is.
You say you got dreams, you ain’t gone do shit.
That’s the same thing you been saying for years.
You’re hollowed out now sit down and have some beers.

I wanna change.
I’m not gonna be the same as others before me.
I’ve felt the pain.
I don’t wanna die the same as the others before me.
O!
As the others before me.
Yay!
As the others before me.
As the others before me.


Look high look low.
Look for anyone that talk loud and floss a lot of dough.
Looking to sell what isn’t mine.
Give a hand out, Lend a sister’s land out,
thinking that I’m special cause my mama say I standout.
Hoping to save me from these times.
In the spiritual we are growing stronger no longer the slaves to machines.
Can you hear all the cries and the screams
say I’m looking for someone anyone to love me.
I’m looking for someone to love me.
O…
