Roots The Tipping Point Why (What's Going On? [Verse 1: Black Thought] Yo, sky is the limit So you know I gun rise and shine I got to do my thing I’m kinda getting a li’l tired of all this sitting That’s the reason I’ma speak my mind Keep from goin insane Now work wit it, we in the last inning The world keep spinning My people, steady losing While the rich keep winning It’s like, we never smile and then the devil steady grinning Killing what we representing even our children and women 2-K-4 living above and under the law Young teen join the Marines said he’d die for the Corps Inducted up into the governments war As if for land or money or oil Funny how a’int none of it’s yours But can’t speak, yo I’m paranoid It’s code orange, it’s far from right I guess that’s why I feel so wrong To see the world getting stripped outta of every resource Some people pray to Coca-Cola now instead of their god What’s going on? Chorus: Why? (repeated) [Verse 2] Keeping your head above water Hustling to survive Some people chasing a dream Others just chasing a high Some people blind leading the blind They chasing a lie Some people choking, backs broken Barely making it by But still they working all they life The pushing for the light Giving everything they got They stitching them swishes on your Nike’s Putting pockets on our jeans Mining diamonds for the rings Rewarded with small change And bullets in they brains And it make me feel strange Everything we take for granted At times I feel stranded on this planet of mine Now should I pull a hammer, clap it out, and laugh about it Or stand up, be counted while I cast my ballot When the undertaker’s busy and the prison’s is crowded People living in fear because their vision is clouded But the sky’s the limit I a’int crying you a river Gotta move me a mountain I’ma get up and shower Yea [Chorus] [Verse 3] When I dream there’s hounds on my heels gaining momentum I’m tired, can’t get on the spot or quit running I can feel them only inches behind I escape, I survive Somehow I got to decide How much I wanna grow Is anybody listening Without a pocket pissing If I disappear I wonder If the world will know I’m missing Who my support system It’s not the court system I got a letter what it said is; “You will not avoid prison” We beneath the microscope Cause we defining the culture They smile and insult ya Like you shining they loafers Them old heads saw we need a modern-day Moses When the leaders is posers, we need us some soilders This the X generation The anger in the nation Got the writing on the wall So clear that I can taste it Like a kid sniffing glue somewhere Trying to escape because he’s Vulnerable and naked We got to show him he can make it [Chorus] |
