1999 

Beatnuts, dead prez 

 [bad word]  

Everytime I look around, I see so much drama goin down 

Everytime I look around, I see sp much fakeness goin down 

[Stic.Man] 

Why I'ma, be stingy when I can share 

Why I'ma, be hateful if I could care 

Why would I hate my own, and forsake my home 

Why would I [bad word] around and get a jake my chrome 

I wouldn't have to stick you if we all could eat 

It wouldn't be no need for beef, dyin over streets 

We don't even own anyway, you could get bucked off any day 

We behind enemy lines, y'all still writin Henessy rhymes 

While I'm tryin to get a good price for a nine 

Feel like my life on the line 

That's why a [bad word] be hype all the time 

Ready for the revolution at the drop of a dime 

[M1] 

I got a duty to have security for my niggas 

duty to serve the beautiful black sisters 

duty tom stand wit anybody that's wit us 

And fully criticize all [bad word] 

There should be awards presented, to niggas who fight back 

Like Panther jackets, or sisters who like gats 

I'm a full blooded warrior, ready for change 

Recognize any soldier that's doin the same 

Because I love who I am, and that means everything to me 

My life aint worth a [bad word] unless I'm dealin with reality 

When I look myself in the eyes it's just me 

And I aint gotta tell nobody no lies I feel free 

And I would rather deal with the [bad word] than falsehood 

Than bein fake with my people and claimin it's all good 

You [bad word] away from yourself so that's useless 

If your word is bond then you don't have to make excuses 

 [bad word] 

[JuJu] 

Yo as I sit and contemplate about the fate of my kids 

If I die is the state gon snatch up my kids? 

City life, no choice but to live by the knife 

Put food on the table at whatever the price 

My beautiful wife, all the time cookin precise 

When there aint no meat, she bless me with the eggs and the rice 

Never think twice, I love you for the rest of my life 

That's why I taught you how to shoot when situations get trife 

Save the children from the evil that we smell in the air 

Used to bein happy, now the feelin is rare 

I'ma soldier in the [bad word] just tryin to prepare 

Cuz when the [bad word] it aint gon be fair 

[Psycho Les] 

Yo it's the Beatnuts, dead prez, we connect like Tetris 

And [bad word] at the world on some high connections 

So turn it up, so we can drop these gems quick 

If you on some [bad word]  then [bad word] get the ?eggs split? 

There's enough cash, grass, and [bad word] here for you and me 

You wanna be greedy, sayin [bad word] [bad word] 

Watch out cuz life's gonna change very soon you see 

I really don't believe we could ever have unity 

This [bad word] is serious we all tryin to have a milli stash 

But love life cuz that's all a [bad word] really has 

Love your fam, cuz that's all you really have 

And handle your biz and stop bein a silly [bad word] 

Ayo it's gettin, gettin, it's gettin, gettin it's gettin kinda hectic 

Starch burns, so naturally thugs learn to stay vested 

You need to learn what Psycho Les said 

So treat others the same way if you wanna be respected 

 [bad word]
