[00:15.32]This ain't no ****** joke!" [00:16.80]I lived in a spot called Millbrooke Projects [00:19.49]The original Criminal Minded rap topic [00:22.11]With twenty cents in my pocket I saw the light [00:24.66]If you're young gifted and black, you got no rights [00:27.48]Your only true right, is a right to a fight [00:30.14]and not a fair fight, I wake up wonderin who died last night [00:32.93]Everyone and everything is at war [00:35.70]Makin my poetic expression hardcore [00:38.30]I ain't afraid to say it, and many can't get with it [00:40.99]At times in my life, I was a welfare recipient [00:43.68]I ate the free cheese, while the church said believe [00:45.93]and went to school everyday, like a god damn fool [00:49.03]Well anyway, here I am, chillin at the party [00:51.71]Brothers lookin at me like they wanna kill somebody [00:54.41]A cypher manifested in the center of the jam [00:57.08]I got to show these wack rappers really who I am [00:59.81]It's me against them, so I clear the phlegm [01:02.38]and wage the war, hardcore to the end [01:05.17]For someone lookin inside, yeah from the out [01:07.92]it seems like disrespect is what rap is all about [01:10.57]But hip-hop as a culture, is really what we give it [01:13.27]But sometimes the culture contradicts how we live it [01:15.98]Cause every black kid lives two and three lives [01:18.66]The city's a jungle, only the strong will survive [01:21.39]Reality, ain't always the truth [01:24.04]Rhymes Equal Actual Life, In The Youth [01:26.81]Reality, ain't always the truth [01:29.45]Rhymes Equal Actual Life, In The Youth [01:32.21]Every single day I hear lie after lie [01:34.74]Like "Black people don't die, we multiply" [01:37.41]So when I kick a rhyme I represent how I feel [01:40.19]The sacred street art of keepin it real [01:42.84]Why I gotta listen, to somebody else? [01:45.64]How they got wealth, let me talk about myself [01:48.36]But all I really got is hip-hop and a glock [01:50.89]The results are obvious, if I'm confined to my block [01:53.78]Occasionally, in the city I'm released [01:56.34]to meet other beasts, lookin for the feast [01:59.13]We grunt and growl, on the prowl, as the air gets thinner [02:01.07]"Yo yo there he go, him," there's the dinner [02:04.54]White meat, carryin a bag of some sort [02:07.28]Life is short, white meat is quickly caught [02:09.97]A scuffle a muffle yet none of us hesitated [02:12.62]Like Mother Africa, white meat is violated [02:15.31]We quickly dissapear, like Santa's little elves [02:17.92]And go into a area to fight amongst ourselves [02:20.63]We say, "peace/piece" cause that's what we really want [02:23.39]A piece of the pie that America flaunts [02:26.17]Reality, ain't always the truth [02:28.83]Rhymes Equal Actual Life, In The Youth [02:31.48]Reality, ain't always the truth [02:34.13]Rhymes Equal Actual Life, In The Youth [02:38.97]"Oh ******t!" [02:42.12]The truth is that police must serve and protect [02:50.38]REALITY is black youth is shown no respect [02:53.03]The truth is government has a war against drugs [02:55.79]REALITY is government is ruled by thugs [02:58.52]With all this technology, above and under [03:01.15]Humanity still hunts down one another [03:03.92]Rappers display artistic cannibalism [03:06.54]through lyricism, we fight each other over rhythm [03:09.29]Through basic animal instincts, we think [03:11.59]So the battle for mental territory is glory, end of story [03:20.40]Reality, ain't always the truth [03:22.71]Rhymes Equal Actual Life, In The Youth [03:25.46]Reality, ain't always the truth [03:28.18]Rhymes Equal Actual Life, In The Youth [03:31.04]Yeah [03:35.39]"These are the streets!
