[Intro: Sample & Ka]

My brothers and sisters

If you would allow me tonight

I would like for you to focus

Your attention to the verse

I wanna touch on some points, man, that bother me

You know, with the culture, a lil' bit, man

It's just magic man, it's just true magic, this music, man

You gotta watch what you feed the kids, man, for real

[Verse 1]

Yo, it's: money this, money that

All that shit: dummy rap

Should give them people money back

Haves got ‘em strung up, never slung 'em fact

Keep 'em dumb, sprung up in that youngin' trap

Whose log be cutting family trees, they just a lumberjack

Ever notice it's never no fix, only brung 'em crack

Ain’t write gems, but tight with ends, then they run it back

Now I peep why they call it heat, it's just a running track

Then it's drink this, smoke that, shit so wack

Get in the booth, no percent of living proof, you get no dap

I have to tell you that's on the path to failure roadmap

It ain't the way to no goals, it's the choke hold slow tap

The gist of this is the "keep submissive and broke rap

Another poison message you holdin' precious 'cause you're toe tap

That’s how a lame floss 'til the brain loss from the growing plaque

You say it's safe and play the eighth, can't replace what your soul lack

[Hook]

It's the shared struggle that we all go through

Don't be the weapon they use to harm you

Man, it's the shared struggle that we all go through

Don't be the weapon they use to harm you

[Verse 2]

Then it's pussy this, ass that, all that shit's trash rap

What started as empowerment, I'm feeling now it's past that

Yes, I'm with sexual expression, if any tryna' lash back

But this proper prostitution, always asking where the cash at

You sure you selling me melody, you keep telling me your ass fat?

Or you just a succubus, wanna suck us 'till the stash tap?

Don't get a twist, I like a pretty miss with a vast gyatt

This crazy world, don't put our baby girls on the fast track

Then it's gun this, gang that, son, the most profane rap

It's just a lot of bored noise that got our boys layin' flat

Still a must, 'stop killing us' should be the main pact

For our mother's good, choose brotherhood, bang that

Had enough of every tussle, seeing muscles, where the brains at?

You wanna hurt, those that do us dirt should be the aim, black

FBI and Klan kills your leaders, when y'all gone pay 'em back?

If that's how we move, then I'm smooth, y'all can stay intact

[Hook]

It's the shared struggle that we all go through

Don't be the weapon they use to harm you

Man, it's the shared struggle that we all go through

Don't be the weapon they use to harm you

[Outro]

If you listen to what black people are singing religiously

It is a clue as to what is happening to them sociologically

Our music mirrors what is happening to us
