Made In America

作曲：Oscar Jackson

The Last Poets - updated by Ethan

I love **, because ** are me

And I should only love that which is me

I love that you ** go through changes, love that you ** act, love that you ** make some plays and shoot the **

But there's one thing about ** that I don't love

** are scared of revolution

A

S

H

There's a war going on at home

It's like Baghdad

In American cities where all the blacks at

Little kids that pack straps and backpacks

Who clap cats for scratch snacks and gas masks

Hard times

** are on the grind

All of the time

Faith in Allah small as a dime

A cup of noodles for breakfast

A cup of noodles for lunch and

A cup of noodles for dinner

Every day is the Winter

Every day is December

Cause evin in the middle of Summer

The streets shudder from the poverty blizzard

Rocket propelled grenades

Landmines and letterbombs

Open up your envelops

With thoughts of them shuttin off

Your water and your lights

And your foods and your rights

All you got in your life

Is little dude and your wife

So you move in the white

With the crew in the night

But you're nervous:

The block drafted you into the service

The curse

You ain't a made **, you just afraid **

You ain't a made **, you just afraid **

You ain't a made **, you just afraid **

You ain't a made **, you just afraid **

Wakin' up is the beginning of a day that's **

Spoons and forks and napkins and plates and cups

Everything but a meal

I bang with my steel

And feel hunger pains in me still

I hit the front line with my ammo and my canteen

Basketball and tennis shoes as a sand screen

Shootin' jumpers as the boys in blue pass me

Casually

I pass cream to the crack fiends

The other day a first Lieutenant was moded

Started up the car and it exploded

But didn't nobody notice

I'm knowin' how it goes

When if the the ** with the purple heart of courage ain't the oldest

It's cold **

But if I let little man push

Little man could go and create a plan to ambush

Double jeopardy

Brothers reppin' me

And tellin' me they lovin' and respectin' me

Could be the death of me

You ain't a made **, you just afraid **

God in heaven could you tell me why you never chose me

You ain't a made **, you just afraid **

Times I asked you to provide or we wasn't goin' to eat

You ain't a made **, you just afraid **

Why was everything that you was supposed to do on me

You ain't a made **, you just afraid **

Since I'm not in heaven it's only one other place I can be

Now **'s hard, when you're up in rank this far

I hit bars and I mix and mingle with stars

You flip cars with overtime you get scarred

And with your broad you begin to whisper “discharge”

Traumatized by the lies of the turncoats

Who walk enemy ground to go and burn smoke

Five dead single shot glock nine to the head

And you like, “** em'”

Them ** have to learn though

But things deepen

Your enemy's peepin'

The rate you're gain' weight got your thinergies creepin'

They see you're not sleepin'

So they got reason

To send a soldier in your circle

And manipulate the treason

A psychological Hurricane Katrina

And ain't nobody comin' to help

** FEMA

I slowly turn the gun to myself and squeeze it

And Mohhamed Era Su Allayet (?

)

I couldn't see it

The grievous

I didn't create this **, I was born into it

Like I didn't create the projects, I didn't create homelessness, I didn't create poverty, I didn't create unemployment, I didn't create this poor educational system, I was pushed into it, and now you want to blame me for not rising above it?

**, I may not be that strong!

You ain't a made **, you just afraid **

You ain't a made **, you just afraid **

You ain't a made **, you just afraid **

You ain't a made **, you just afraid **
