Luyện nghe bài hát Message to the Rappers

Hey, yeah, we the same brothas from a long ago
We was talkin about television and doin it on the
What we did was to help our realize
They had to get out and get busy cause it wasnt gonna be televised
We got respect for you rappers and the way be free-weighin
But if gon be teachin folks things, make sure you know what youre sayin
Older folks in our neighborhood got plenty of
Remember if it for them, you wouldnt be out here now
And I aint comin at you with no
All Im sayin is that you damn got to be correct
if youre gonna be speakin for a whole generation
And you enough to try and handle their education
Make sure you the real deal about past situations
It aint just repeatin you heard on the local TV stations
they tell lies and put em in a truthful disguise
But the is thats why we said it wouldnt be televised
They dont know what to say to our young folks, but know that you do
And if they really knew the truthwhy would they tell
The first sign is peace, tell all gun totin young brothas
the man is glad to see us out there killin one another
We raised too hell when they was shootin us down
So started poisoning our minds tryin to jerk us all around
And tell us they got to come in and control our situation
They half of us on dope and the other half in incarceration
If the ones they dead aint killed by what they instigated
They put some on a brothas body and claim it was drug related
them drug related means there dont need to be no investigation
Or at least thats the way theyre gon it on the local TV stations
All your 9-millimeter brothasgive them somthin to think
Tell them you heard that is the new word, they got to work that stuff out
But they feel in the wrong way with a gun in their hands
They feel real independentbut they pullin contracts for the man
Five and five will tell you its out there on the avenue
But if they really knew the truthwhy would they you?
And if they at you like youre insane
And they start you scarecrow and say you aint got no brain
Or start tellin folks that you gone lame
Or white folks had finally co-opted your game
Or worse yet implying that you really know
Thats the same thing they about usa long time ago
Young rappers, one suggestion before I get out of your way
But I appreciate the respect you give me and you got to say
Im sayin protect community and spread that respect around
Tell brothas and sistas they gotta calm that bullshit
Cause were our old folks and brought fear into our homes
And aint got to hang out with the senior citizens
tell them, Dammitleave the old folks alone
And we know who rippin off the neighborhood, tell them, BS has got to stop!
Tell them youre sorry cant handle it out there
But they got to take the crime off the
And if they at you like youre insane
And start callin you scarecrow and say you aint got no brain
Or start tellin folks you suddenly gone lame
Or that folks had finally co-opted your game
Or worse yet saying that you really know
Thats the same thing they about me a long time ago
And if they tell folks that you finally your nerve
Thats the same they said about us, when we said, Johannesburg
But I think the young folks to know, that things dont go both ways
You talk respect of every other song or just every other day
Im speakin on now is the raps about the women folks
On one shes your African Queen on the next one shes a joke
And you aint said no words I havent heard, but that aint no compliment
It only insults eight people out of ten and questions your
Four letter words or four words wont make you important
Itll only magnify how shallow you are and let everybody it
And if they look at you like they you insane
Or call you scarecrow thinkin you aint got no brain
Or start tellin folks that you gone lame
Or that white have finally co-opted your game
Or you really knowThey said that about me a long time ago
If they finally start to tell people that you lost nerve
Thats what they about Johannesburg
You aint have got a brain
You havent lame; you have got your game
the nerve
Keep the
the nerve
Keep the
Im about peace
