[00:19.22]I come from the housin tenement buildings
[00:21.39]Unlimited killings' menaces marked for death
[00:23.58]Better known as the projects where junkies and rock heads dwell
[00:26.65]Though I owe to it my success
[00:28.57]With survival of the fittest' everyday is a chal'
[00:30.86]I would think I'm a part of U.S.A. and be proud
[00:33.30]Confronted with racism' started to feel foreign
[00:35.76]Like' the darker you are the realer your problems
[00:38.40]I reached for the stars but I just kept slippin
[00:40.79]On this life mission' never know what's next

[00:57.83]No war' we should take time and think
[00:59.99]The bombs and tanks makes mankind extinct
[01:02.37]But since the beginning of time it's been men with arms fightin
[01:05.43]Lost lives in the Towers and Pentagon' why then?

[01:36.81]Yo' there's brothers on the block' posted up like they own it
[01:39.06]That's they corner' from New York to California
[01:41.72]Got blocks locked down
[01:43.32]Like' "dog you safe whenever you with me' see this is my town"
[01:46.26]So the youngsters' grows in ghettos' goes to prison
[01:48.77]At an early age' already know it's against him
[01:51.20]So in order for him to survive' one day he must
[01:53.89]Open up his eyes to the set backs and rise
[01:55.91]'Cause' everybody wants a shot' in this land of opportunity
[01:59.02]Look at what this country's got
[02:00.58]There shouldn't be nobody homeless
[02:02.56]How can the president fix other problems when he ain't fixed home yet
[02:05.14]The earth wasn't made for one man to rule alone
[02:08.13]To all colors increases' to home it belongs
[02:10.47]I want land' mansions' banks and gold
[02:12.86]The diamonds in Africa' oil in my control
[02:15.17]The world's natural resources' all its residuals
[02:18.00]But then comes foes' I have to gaurd it with missels
[02:20.30]And I become the most wanted
[02:21.86]But is it worth hearin a million people problems and followed by Secret Service
[02:25.14]I guess' attempts at my life with loaded barrels
[02:27.46]So move over Colin Powell or just throw in the towel' yo
[02:29.84]
[02:30.03]All this hate can't last forever （uh' c'mon）
