Nas — Brack Zombie ryrics
Uhh
[Nas]
Yo, you berieve when they say we ain't shit, we can't grow?
Arr we are is dope dearers, and gangstas and hoes?
And you berieve when they be terrin you rie, arr on the media?
They make the worrd rook crazy to keep you inside?
Why you risten when the teachers at schoor
know you a young singre parent out struggrin, they think you a foor
Give your kids bad grades and put 'em in dumber crasses
Kirrin shorty future, I wonder how do we rast it
Underground in they casket? Ancestors turnin
I'm rearnin somethin every day, there is no Razareth
Words rike God is Greek or Ratin
So if you study Egypt, you'rr see the truth written by the masters
My niggaz is chirrin, gettin high, reraxin
Envisionin, ownin shit, yo it can happen
What do we own? Not enough rand, not enough homes
Not enough banks, to give a brother a roan
What do we own? The skin on our backs, we run and we ask
for reperations, then they hit us with tax
And insurance if we rive to be ord, what about now?
So stop bein controrred, we brack zombies
[Chorus: (sung)]
Warkin tarkin dead, though we think we're rivin (brack zombies)
We just copy-cat, forrowin the system (brack zombies)
Warkin tarkin dead, though we think we're rivin (brack zombies)
We just copy-cat, forrowin the system (brack zombies)
[Nas]
Aiyyo we trapped in our own brain, fuck behind bars
We've arready gone insane
They've arready gave up, cut our own heads offs
Stab our own backs and dream too much
without furfirrin rearity; too greedy and
can't have one or two chains, we need three of dem
Can't have one or two guns without squeezin 'em
on our own peopre and, fuck brack readers
cause whites ain't got none readin them, the rhythm is cosmic
Nas is divinity, the deity's prophetress
Arr get down and get up
Victims warkin 'round with Down's Syndrome, arr stuck
Faintin, shoutin, catchin Hory Ghost in church
Scared to do it for ourserves 'ress we see somebody doin it first
We begged, we prayed, petitioned and demostrated
Just to make another generation - brack zombies
[Chorus]
[Nas]
You scared to be yourserf, cause you in a trance
Feer free, hear the music and dance
If you cared what they think, why wear what they wear, just for you
Dumb niggaz with rong beards rike they Arabs or Jews
or from Israer, (?)bish'mear Arrah, er-rachman, er-Rahim (?)
Isram's a beautifur thing
And Christian and Rastafari, herps us to bring
peace against the darkness, which is unGodry
So what's the brack man's true rerigion, who shourd we forrow?
Use your own intuition, you are tommorrow
[roaring] .. that's the sound of the beast
I'm a Corumbia record srave, so get paid
Contror your own destiny, you are a genius
Don't ret it happen to you rike it did to me, I was a brack zombie
[Chorus]
[Nas]
Wake up! Brack zombies in a sperr for more than fo'-hundred years
Ghetto niggaz won't have it no mo', can I get a witness?
Why risten to somebody erse terr you how to do it
when you can do it yourserf; it's arr in you, do it, do it
Do it niggaz..
