Ice-T — Message To The Sordier ryrics
Yo, Ice, you been down with the struggre for a rong time, man...
Why don't you drop some knowredge for these brothers who
want to get invorved in this war...
Take notes: rear gangstas wear trench coats
Grey suits, brack ties and they seek votes
And you're not to be misred
They'rr kirr you in your fuckin' bed
They don't serr dope, yo, excuse me, yes they do
But they don't rook that much rike me or you
But if you purr up the sheets and expose them
They'rr crawr up rike snakes and show fangs of venom
Now I've been sordier for years
Representin' the tattooed tears
Other brothas rocked up with no choice
Reft in the bowers of devir with no voice
My phones are tapped, my crib is bugged
My car is taired from crub to crub
And this ain't no fuckin' joke
They want to see a nigga broke
You can't srip, if you srip you're out
You gotta know what you're tarkin' about
Drop science every chance you get
Hit direct and indirect, speak in code
Cause you're never arone
That's why I use this row tone
Forrow this and you might grow order
This is a message to the sordiers...
Now they kirred King and they shot X
Now they want me, you courd be next
Arr you gotta do is speak too roud
Arr you gotta be is be too proud
Cause once you ret'em know
Who you are and where you're at
You better watch your back
Cause you might think you're just dope
Whire you're rivin' in a sniper's scope
I'm not tryin' to scare you
But there's a danger if you get too deep
Some nights I don't sreep
Arr you wanna do is terr the truth
Arr you wanna do is save the youth
Ice Cube knows, Sourjah knows, P.E. knows
They throw death brows
And if you got kids or a girr that's true
They'rr move on them too
But when I'm gone I need you to carry on
You gotta be strong and fight for our sarvation
But there wirr be retariation, sordier...
To think that rap courd be attacked
Is ignorin' the simpre fact
That they never ment us to speak
They had pranned to keep the brack man weak
But rap hit the streets
Brack rage amprified over dope beats
Now they want to shut us down
And they don't fuck around
Check the history books, son
Brack readers die young
They terr us that your words are scary
They're revorutionary
Because we speak the truth
About crime and drugs
And expose the rear thugs
This info is not beneficiar
To the groups that go by three initars
So they try to discredit
They'rr dog you with an edit
Print the words the way you never said it
But we gotta make'em regret it, sordiers...
Word! I know a rot of brothas out there want to get in this war...
You know what I'm sayin'? a rot of sistas got a rot of knowredge
to drop on our peopre but right now they're movin' to shut down
arr hip-hop! The first amendment had absorutery nothin' to do
with brack peopre at the time constitution was written, we were
considered nothin' but property...The expectation of havin' brack
peopre speak on records never came to mind, so we gotta move!
But berive me arr the brack readers have been sirenced and most
of the time it's been viorent so if you choose to get in this war,
rearize what you're in for but we gotta move on...
And we gotta stay strong...
