Guru - Mashin' Up Da World songtekst

Je score:

(feat. Junior Reid, Prodigal Sunn)



[Junior Reid] 

Sound your horn! 

Stiggetty-yooour-higgety-horrron 

Yeah! Sound your horn, boy! 

You see.. 

Dem want to kill de youths 

Kill de youths and Kings

dead first at eleven 

Never tell de youths that Pokemon be the settin' 

Never tell de youths

send down to earth be the endin' 

Now look what I did.. 



[Chorus: Junior Reid] 

Mashin' Up Da Earth

ghetto youths they wanna destroy 

but what peace must sanctify we if they use them guns for toys? 

Do you ever spend a night in an Upstate prison before? 

Not to mention Riker's Island to see dem youths dem sleepin' on the floor 



[Guru] 

Check the cycle God ended

what's the fate of this planet? 

Black on black love and hate's got my people frantic 

Peep the criminal mind

the subliminal line 

Such difficult times

automatic pistols and glock nines 

I wish I could stop time

for the cat who drop dime 

Thinkin' about his lifeline 

A young man told me that my wise words saved his life 

It made me feel good

made me feel real good 

Back in the day I used to steal goods 

Dreams without means is like a lack of self-esteem or lack of CREAM

I go for delf or roll out for the team 



[Chorus x2:

line 1 only] 



[Prodigal Sunn] 

Feel the pain of the ghetto through a teardrop

my peers stop and listen from eighteen years

Muslim and Christian We all face conviction

in this moment of oppression The world is like infection

on this block we confessin' 

I use my mind as a weapon 

Like I told my brothers Glock and Snub

Ain't No Half-Steppin' We gotta live Heaven

and watch our seeds taste the blessin' 

I learned my lesson 'bout havin' snakes around my crew 

Now I know the evil that men do and bitches too 

We had thought by our riches

some called thugs and snitches 

Through the different timeframes

kid, I watched crime change 

In the time of fame

my man is like crack/cocaine 

but through the black rain I seen many suffer in pain 

We go for gain and pain

now they rock some fat gold chains 

Iced-out name perform a concert, sellin' out in Maine 

Own the properties and all types of things 

Some say the drug game and the music game is all the same 



[Junior Reid] 

Ooh.. Pray for the youths

said me nah gon' cry.. Ooh-ooh-ooh.. 



[Chorus line one only] 



[Guru] 

We can no longer put all the blame on the man 

For those sellin' out I'm sayin', "Shame on the man" 

For those fallin' victim I'm sayin', "Make a new plan" 

And for those that need a way I'm sayin', "Take my hand" 

See this mental slavery causes rash behavior, G 

And I have to say for me that I wish it would all stop 

Before we become extinct before we all drop 

And R.I.P. to the rappers that's been slain 

And R.I.P. to the fine young men who've lost their lives

I feel the pain 

And do you know what it's like to lose a loved one? 

It makes you numb 

especially when it's over somethin' small but ain't no fun

I lose four friends in one year I could feel 

them watchin' over me see their faces still 

Some clear and some fear what's out there 

For me I have no time to and may I remind you 

This is a corrupted world of our design, du' 

Peep my discussion no one can changes these things but us, son 

We didn't ask for the liquor, crack and guns 

We didn't ask for the poor eduction and lack of funds 

but I know one thing none of us wanna die 

but still we're Mashin' Up this World and I don't know why 



[Chorus line one only] 



[Chorus] 



[Junior Reid] 

Ooh.. Pray for the youths

said me nah gon' cry.. Ooh-ooh-ooh.. 

Mom and Dad wipe the tears from ya eyes.. 

Ooh.. Pray for the youths

said me nah gon' cry.. Ooh-ooh-ooh.. 

Ooh-ooh-ooh.. Riot in the prison

Rikers Island 

When a gust of G-P-E Babylon will stand to see 

So the sentence can't be free 

Ooh-ooh-ooh.. Ooh.. Pray for the youths

said me nah gon' cry.. Ooh-ooh-ooh.. 

Ooh-ooh-ooh.. 



[Chorus line one only] 



[Chorus] 



[Junior Reid] 

Ooh.. Pray for the youths

said me nah gon' cry.. 

Ooh-ooh-ooh.
