better bite enough for if you don't my boy your blue. Now I wonder,
 can
 others see the system that I see or do they see and say they blame it
 on
 society. The days of smart enough come to over, just say thousands.
 And
 as I live and learn because there's always someone mouthing. Speaking
 on
 an issue. Praise you or they dis you. Lawnge as strong, they fly by me
 like Scott tissue. My people, from nigger to negro to man or color,
 killed my father and my brother so that you could rape my mother. Now
 you wonder, why is it through instinct you fear. Wouldn't dare me to
 stare. One for yourself, your out of here. Not to worry, to harm your
 intention of my creed. But to stop your greed and give me what I need.
 Opportunity, for a life of me. And generations to come with in
 tranquility. Now harmony, is a total love of things. For those who are
 inclined or better yet like to sing. But piece of mind it is my right
 for the spark will ignite. 'Till I can catch a cab at the town at
 midnight. 'Till I can be myself and not be thought as worse. 'Till I
 can
 buy a slice from Howard Beach to the Hearse. 'Till I can get the pill
 without fear of eject. And occupations which I seek I can have if I
 select. Now if I so select and reach out to make touch. How can you
 say
 that I ask for too much.
 Chorus
 Don't speak to me if good times are granted 'till I be
 Don't tell me of the countries or the hours that you seek
 Don't tell me to keep trying, you know I won't agree
 Double negative means positively black with N.V.
 As a player of the game, of the lifetime game I am playing. I bet your
 nodding, shake your head to what I am saying. It's keep then but those
 of men color of skin could even begin to wonder, what is it to ponder
 to
 let another bother. Listen, stay open not dismissing. Lack of vision
 makes division product no ambition. Wishes which you wish upon which
 for
 more you wishes, if I wish not to record steady now then I wash
 dishes.
 Wish while I wash, the water hot gets colder. Black I'm saying that in
 fact the dish gets clean and I get older. Seemly so, the dishes will
 grow to dishes far beyond me. Lost my wish and broke a dish so now I'm
 wishy washy. Understand foundation. Create my own creation. If dumb
 and
 pumping jump, then get no ovation. But only restriction, boom penes a
 lot of friction. I then wash a dish with out pay. Boom! N.W.A. Think
 I'm
 lying, Black I'm crying, so the tear would turn to crystal. Crystals
 forming on my dishes so I was until dismissal. Wash until my prints
 are
 wrinkled then they let me go. I know not where I'm going so I know not
 where I go. My people give me money, but the money much to low for me
 to
 meet the match of present day so I still need some dough. Conjure up a
 suit, I wish that it were cute. Borrow a token and a smoking I begin a
 wish less hope. Intervening, application leads me on onto frustration
 and duration of my time is spent with lack of occupation. Time to go
 for
 what I know. I know not of what I wish, but of soap and a towel and
 some
 water and a dish.
 Chorus
 But lay o.k. 'cause you can get the play. I pick your style, your
 smile
 shown bright about a mile away. But anyway, another day, in the land
 of
 shove just living in the life of who. A black man on a green land with
 a
 blue skyline. Don't tell me I'm color blind. I'm seeing system is hard
 to believe in. Underneath the underside I'm underachieving. Bust my
 ass
 in school, to be a certified fool. Now intellect of curb is my only
 tool. But street game is so uncouth. I took the SAT's and that's the
 sad
 ass truth. I'm not gliding but I'm striving hanging on by a thread and
 it's called surviving. Hang on, hang on, hang you'all. Walk the street
 and keep you head so tall. For time is short, no time is bought,
 you're
 only in the wrong if you get caught. So kick in doors, bang on walls,
 shout in halls. Get yours. Get yours.
 Chorus
