The Science-Murs

[00:02.08]So I'm at the barbershop [00:03.58]And we talking about this new generation of hip-hop [00:06.00]And how how lost you all are man [00:08.37]But y'all have no science [00:10.74]So here you go [00:11.61]The systematic knowledge of the physical world [00:13.84]Gained through observation and experimentation [00:15.09] [00:16.64]Usually beginning with a hypothesis [00:18.98]Or what some may call an estimation [00:21.51]Record your results from a series of tests [00:23.98]And what your left with is a theory at best [00:26.63]Now let me give my hypothesis an educated guess [00:28.65]On why my people on the whole seem to be such a mess [00:31.76]Genocide the deliberate extermination of a race [00:34.91]Culture or an entire nation [00:36.87]Centuries ago they brought us here on a boat [00:39.38]Enslaved us beat us til our spirit was broke [00:41.95]Then they gave us freedom and a little bit of hope [00:44.54]Then they killed our leaders and they gave us **** (crack) [00:47.40]From the C I A by way of Nicaragua [00:49.61]Shipped to Rick Ross he's the black godfather [00:52.29]Now Oscar Blandon was his known supplier [00:54.62]He snitched on Rick so he could retire [00:57.27]Ratted on Ricky so he got out quickly [00:59.91]Now this is where the situation gets a little sticky [01:02.45]Not a citizen of the U S A [01:04.70]He got released and got hired by the D E A [01:07.21]Then he got his green card by the I N S [01:09.73]But that should've never happened due to previous arrests [01:12.54]See our government seems to think that there's a difference [01:15.23]Between powdered ******* and crack for instance [01:17.69]You get five years for five grams of crack [01:20.15]But in the powdered form you have a hundred times that [01:22.78]Now who has the rock and who has the powder [01:25.30]Who's the oppressed and who has the power [01:27.76]They want you to fail so you wind up in jail [01:30.38]You know how much they make while you sitti'n in that cell [01:33.07]Billions of dollars for inmate facilities [01:34.57] [01:35.50]You sell yourself back into slavery willingly [01:37.02] [01:38.23]It's not black and white it's so much more [01:40.51]It's the rich stayin rich and the poor stayin poor [01:43.21]The poor white's meth the poor black's crack [01:45.61]It's not about race and once you realize that [01:48.28]We as a nation are free to move on [01:50.67]And become one people a movement strong [01:54.23] [02:13.86]Now black people weren't the first to be enslaved [02:16.36]We were just the first to be treated this way [02:18.88]No education you were killed if you could read [02:21.51]So you hid your intellect if you wanted to succeed [02:23.85] [02:24.45]And what happens to a lie when you livin' it [02:26.80]You lose sight of who you are and start forgettin' it [02:29.25]So many of us to this day act ignorant [02:31.63]A mere shadow of our form of magnificence [02:34.30]Wellfare [02:35.57]No independence we become victims dependin' on the system [02:39.24]Looking for a handout waiting on some help [02:41.75]Toiling on the past feeling sorry for your self [02:44.24]But you do what you can to make it out the trap [02:46.88]And that right there is the origin of rap [02:49.35]It wasn't always played on every radio station [02:51.87]It was us makin the best out of a bad situation [02:54.67]Inner city schools stopped teaching us instruments [02:56.65] [02:57.40]We took turntables and started flippin' it [02:59.68]Stole electricity from the street lights [03:02.23]Plugged it into a system and made the beat hype [03:04.84]There was a mic but MC's weren't rulin' [03:07.39]It was more 'bout what the DJ was doin' [03:09.85]He say a few words (GO GO) to keep the party movin' [03:12.42]The beat boys dancin' to the breaks and the grooves [03:15.04]An the break was the part where the record broke down [03:17.55]Where it was just a drum and a couple of sounds [03:20.09]You had two records you could go back and forth [03:22.54]To keep the groove goin' cause the break was so short [03:25.06]Now if that ain't' science I don't know what is [03:27.56]The ingenuity of these young black kids [03:30.06]The Bronx New York Central Recita [03:32.81]Who hurt earth hip-hop true believers [03:35.37](Theory) Adversity produces opportunity [03:37.95]Anythings accomplished through strength and unity [03:40.49]The fate of the world is in the hip-hop commuity [03:43.09]The revolution is here and now with you and me [03:46.32] [03:49.18](Murs is a Scientist)
