Ms Dynamite - Self Destruct lyrics
Your rating:
Imma tell it how it is and make no apology Black people, we our own worst enemy Jealousy, envy, so many frenamies Still got that house-nigga, field-nigga mentality We don't wanna see us rise to the top Smiling when we see a brother striving, then he drops Instead of helping him to succeed, get all that he can get We hating, contemplating, taking his jewels and his whip Shit you there paper-chasing, thinking it'll end your stress Cant buy self esteem, love not selflessness You can drive a million miles, in your Bentley like a star You can fly across the globe, but cant escape who you are And all this bragging and this boasting about the paper that you stack Cant achieve as a people unless back give back Think it aint your problem turn your back you hypocrite As long as poverty exists there'll be robbery of the rich Shit now listen... Chorus: This negativity got me ready to explode Its like were on animosity overload Were hustling the same hustle, down the same road But were on self-destructive mode Until we have unity we cant grow If we could let go and let the love flow We struggling the same struggle, down the same road But were on self-destructive mode Assasin's Verse: We still living in division applied when we were slaves Our ancestors are probably turning in their graves To see a brother, see another and just shoot him down Never did him no wrong he just form the other side of town And its foolish and senseless, I cant comprehend Sisters when we see our sisters why we face just a bend And we don't show love We don't pay no compliments We show hostility and cause enough commotion Shit now listen... Repeat Chorus Assasin's Verse: We aint fighting racism Or the injustice were shown We fighting in our homes And busy destroying our own Complaining about the white man And the way he make us live But plenty of us, in the street, selling crack to our kids And its so crazy and its ridiculous Take a look at what were doing Ignorance aint bliss Were so played by fear and insecurity That we destroying and exploiting our community Repeat Chorus Twice
