Could you tell me who released our animal instinct? Got the white man sittin´ there tickled pink.
Laughin´ at us on the avenue Bustin´ caps at each other after havin´ brew We can´t enjoy ourselves Too busy jealous... Of each other´s wealth Commin´ up is just in me But the Black community is full of envy Too much back-stabbin´ While I look up the street I see all the japs grabbin´ Every vacant lot in my neighborhood Build a store, and sell their goods To the county of sips (?) You know us po niggas: nappy hair and big lips? Four or five babies on your crotch And you expect Uncle Sam to help us out? We ain´t nothin´ but porchmonkeys To the average bigot, redneck honky You say comin´ up is a must
But before we can come up, take a look at US
Verse Two:
And all y´all dope-dealers... Your as bad as the po-lice- cause ya kill us You got rich when you started slangin´ dope But you ain´t built us a supermarket So when can spend our money with the blacks Too busy buyin´ gold an´ Caddilacs That´s what ya doin´ with the money that ya raisin´ Exploitin´ us like the Caucasians did For 400 years - I got 400 tears- for 400 peers Died last year from gang-related crimes That´s why I got gang-related rhymes But when I do a show ta kick some facts Us Blacks don´t know how ta act
Sometimes I believe the hype, man We´re messin´ up ourselves and blame the white man But don´t point the finger you jiggaboo Take a look at yourself ya dumb nigga you Pretty soon hip-hop won´t be so nice No Ice Cube, just Vannilla Ice And yall sit and scream and cus But there´s no one ta blame- but US
Verse Three:
US ... will always sing the blues ´Cause all we care about is hairstyles and tennis shoes But if ya step on mine ya pushed a button "Cause I´ll beat you down like it ain´t nothin´
Just like a beast But I´m the first nigga ta holler out {PEACE, BLACK MAN} I beat my wife and children to a pulp When I get drunk and smoke dope Got a bad heart condition Still eat hog-mogs an´ chitlin´s Bet my money on the dice and the horses Jobless, so I´m a hope for the armed forces Go to church but they tease us Wit´ a picture of a blue-eyed Jesus They used to call me Negro After all this time I´m still bustin up the chiffarobe No respect and didn´t know it And I´m havin´ more babies than I really can afford In jail ´cause I can´t pay the mother
Held back in life because of my color Now this is just a little summary Of US, but yall think it´s dumb of me To put a mirror to ya face, but trust Nobody gives a fuck about...
