Oh, about 40 years ago, president Nixon declared a war on drugs
To this day, wanna know what it was, look

How was it that they can win a war against...
In the ghetto, losing a war against heroine
You don't believe me, look at some of the war veterans
Fought for the country and still can't afford medicine
President Nixon declared a war on drugs
And... was more like a war on us
The drug enforcement agents was given an occupation
Of making sure they inflating the prison population
So 35%... black in expansion
They say crusaders might be results of the cracker but then the...
I think it is,... just big is
And not... then I just beat it is
Today is easy to get blown than 40 years again
There's a war on drugs, then where did they go?
They found 2 terrorists all in a row
But can't find the sneaking drugs pass the border patrol
Do you expect me to believe this yo?
I mean the masses might do but me, no
You see some call it genocide, some call it hatred
I just call it something that everyone should relate to it

Let's keep it real, from town to sun don't shine
Let's keep it real, from town to... around
Let's keep it real, it's like we're living in a town
We can't even make up our own mind
Let's keep it real, unless the change goes on
Let's keep it real, the... same old song
Let's keep it real, if there's a war going drugs
We don't win till it bring no more

The Rockefeller loss knocked a lot of fellows off
Trying to get a slice bread Mozzarella sauce
I know none that won but hell of them lost
That old drug gain came with a hell of a cost
You ever stopped to think...
Like where they turning this coco reef into something you could snore
How the hell is coming to New York? And every ghetto in America
Use the... I mean you would think with all this counter-intelligence

They'd be smarter and harder...
But they ain't got not even one intention to stopping it
Half of bit is politics half it's somebody profiting
The war on drugs is really the opposite
Should be called drugs on war, cause somebody getting they pockets hit
So that coco on my street and that weed on your street
Is only air, cause they eat off on war street

Let's keep it real, from town to sun don't shine
Let's keep it real, from town to... around
Let's keep it real, it's like we're living in a town
We can't even make up our own mind
Let's keep it real, unless the change goes on
Let's keep it real, the... same old song
Let's keep it real, if there's a war going drugs
We don't win till it bring no more

Clearly a lyricism not a conspiracy theory
I just need more... to hear us
Clearly a lyricism not a conspiracy theory
I just need more... to hear us
Yes, see, to go to war against something
Means to combat something, you know
I don't see no combat no fight against drugs in America
That has been a 35 billion on just say no
Why don't you put 35 billion into the schools
35 billion into our future, our children
Instead of building more prisons

Let's keep it real, from town to sun don't shine
Let's keep it real, from town to... around
Let's keep it real, it's like we're living in a town
We can't even make up our own mind
Let's keep it real, unless the change goes on
Let's keep it real, the... same old song
Let's keep it real, if there's a war going drugs
We don't win till it bring no more
