Tom: C major•
Verse 1
F#m
So I'm at the barbershop
And we talking about this new
generation of hip- hop
And how, how lost you all are man
But y'all have no science
Verse 2
So here you go
F#m
The systematic knowledge
of the physical world
Gained through observation
and experimentation
Usually beginning with a hypothesis
Or what some may call an estimation
Record your results from
a series of tests
And what your left with is
a theory at best
Verse 3
F#m
Now let me give my hypothesis,
an educated guess
On why my people on the whole
Verse 4
seem to be such a mess
F#m
Genocide, the deliberate extermination of a race,
culture, or an entire nation
Centuries ago they brought
us here on a boat
Enslaved us,
beat us til our spirit was broke
Then they gave us freedom and
a little bit of hope
Then they killed our leaders and they
gave us dope (crack)
From the C.I.A. by way of Nicaragua,
shipped to Rick Ross, he's the black godfather
Now Oscar Blandon was his known supplier,
he snitched on Rick so he could retire
Ratted on Ricky so he got out quickly,
Verse 5
now this is where the situation gets a little sticky
F#m
Not a citizen of the U.S.A. he got released
and got hired by the D.E.A.
Then he got his green
card by the I.N.S.
But that should've never happened
due to previous arrests
See our government seems to think
that there's a difference
Between powdered cocaine and crack,
for instance
You get five years for five grams of crack
But in the powdered form you have
a hundred times that
Now who has the rock,
and who has the powder?
Who's the oppressed and who
has the power?
They want you to fail so you
wind up in jail
You know how much they make
while you sitti'n in that cell?
Billions of dollars for inmate
facilities
You sell yourself back into
slavery willingly
It's not black and white,
it's so much more
It's the rich stayin rich and
the poor stayin poor
The poor white's meth,
the poor black's crack
It's not about race and once you realize that,
we as a nation are free to move on
And become one people,
Interlude 1
a movement, strong
F#m
Verse 6
F#m
Now black people weren't
the first to be enslaved
We were just the first to be treated this way
No education you were
killed if you could read
So you hid your intellect if
you wanted to succeed
And what happens to a lie
when you livin' it
You lose sight of who you
are and start forgettin' it
So many of us to this day act ignorant
A mere shadow of our former
magnificence
Wellfare
No independence we become victims
dependin' on the system
Looking for a handout
waiting on some help
Toiling on the past feeling
sorry for your self
But you do what you can
to make it out the trap
And that right there is the origin of rap
It wasn't always played
on every radio station
It was us makin the best
out of a bad situation
Inner city schools stopped
teaching us instruments
We took turntables and started flippin' it
Stole electricity from the street lights
Plugged it into a system and
made the beat hype
There was a mic but
MC's weren't rulin'
It was more 'bout what the DJ was doin'
He say a few words (GO GO) to keep
the party movin'
The beat boys dancin' to the
breaks and the grooves
An the break was the part where the
record broke down
Where it was just a drum and
a couple of sounds
You had two records you could
go back and forth
To keep the groove goin'
cause the break was so short
Verse 7
F#m
Now if that aint' science I
don't know what is
The ingenuity of these young black kids
The Bronx New York Central Recita
Kool Herc earth hip- hop
true believers
(Theory) Adversity produces
opportunity
Anythings accomplished through
strength and unity
The fate of the world is in the
hip- hop commuity
The revolution is here
Outro 1
and now with you and me
