Yo

All we wanna do is what we love

You know

Makin the music for the people

But it seems every now and then

In this game you run into obsticles

That try to hold a man back from gettin his

Yo

Politics as usual

You know the style



[VERSE 1: J. Sands]

If you ain't know, it be them politics

That run this country, now follow this

So many games that people play, just think of all of it

From casual kiss-ass to the snake bitches who swallow dicks

24/7, politicians never call it quits

They'll gas you up to tax you up 

To back you up, to stack you up 

Against the odds, the facade will crack you up

The fact you suck and still got connect to stat you up

Raps you bust I throw away ( *inhales* ) and pass the dutch

To the left hand side (re-write the rest, then slide)

I wonder how you in the field where the best can die

You got a deal, but for real, you're not impressin I

Man, the streets are full of cats who pull a rap 

Like a thug'll pull a gat, savage intent, very cool in fact

That's why it's disrespectful to try to fool this intellectual

We can get ill, just chill and let the texts through

From the old to the new, we pollyin with the next school



[CHORUS]

(Politix) affect you and I

(Politix) man, it turn truth to lies

(Politix) to everyone it does apply

From (politix) you can't run, you can't hide

(Politix) the affects are worldwide

(Politix) wicked men use it for life

(Politix) to prevent black youth to rise

With (politix) y'all know how them be actin sly



[VERSE 2: J. Sands]

Aiyo, nowadays yo, it ain't what you know, it's who you know

Two can go to the same occupation to fill out the application

But if one is a brother, he gettin done undercover

With the fake smile and handshake, they flip shit like pancake

(Aiyo, my man Slick had a bank job) but told me damn straight

That once they saw the dreads in his hair they had the Klan's hate

All in their eyes, because they're scared of our original ties

They flip you drama like a criminal lies

Anytime, anyplace, no reason but just to do it

They knew it was all political (there's no way to dispute it)

Cause they rather have Jack and John than Rashan

In the same bomb-ass position that they on

Just a Jim Crow tactic

That most of the majority seem to practice

A past system biased to the blackness

In fact it's gonna be soon that all the masses

Will be separated into rich and poor social classes

(That means) either you have or have not

(Which means) either you got cash flow or cash stops

(That means) wider gaps that weed out more blacks opt

(Which means) most of us will not reach that jackpot

Because of



[CHORUS]



[VERSE 3: J. Sands]

You see, everything's politically based, then placed

In categories consistin of 'wealth', 'sex' and 'race'

(Only in Amerikkka) will you be found guilty before the case

(Especially) if your face look black like outer space

(But there's more) like how the rich have no love for the poor

Cause they treat em like second-class citizens (from the door)

Like the Egyptians did to Ethiopians, the Germans did to Jews

Like the whites do any man of color (this is true)

I can't explain it from a woman's point of view

Cause no matter what they say or do (men wanna screw)

When they're in the interview

The boss is more than likely thinkin 'bout a rendez-vous

So takes cue to spit a few

Flirtatious hints just to see if you'd accept or not

(Now that's pressure) sort of like a hard place and a rock

But it's like that, and that's the way it is

Because those with power abuse it when they misuse it

For



[CHORUS]



Yeah, that's the Politix

On your ass
