JFK 2 LAX (Explicit)

JFK 2 LAX - Gang Starr
Yo
Yo Premier
Yeah whassup G
That trip to L.A. may be delayed
Why whassup I'm on my way to the airport now
Yeah well your boy Guru got knocked
What
I don't know what this is about sounds crazy man
Something about a gun
The court calls Keith Elam to the stand
Please approach the bench
You they got me handcuffed I'm down in central booking
Things are f**ked up the way my future's looking
But I'm too fly I'm change this scenario
Make some power moves and tighten up my bankroll
Chumps are leary though they see me as a threat
I'm like the black Dutch Schultz
When you get me upset
Five-oh makes me wanna flip Larry Davis style
Got a ni**a depressed while he's awaiting trial
It's OK though cause from grey skies comes blue
Through darkness comes light and I be known as the Guru
And this I certify we all should be alerted by
The traps within the system our youth is getting murdered by
The D.A. says they got me on a felony
I'm trying to live my life
So what the f**k is you telling me
The streets are war that's
What brothers carry weapons for
And I take the weight as I did before
The next thing you know they got me on the radio
A rapper arrested suckers showing me on video
Of course I know that I'm a role model
But you this rap life is real life sometimes it's full throttle
Right now I gotta think about me f**k the industry
You get no love except those who support me
What's the story what happened when I went to L.A.
Mixing sh*t up no not there I got family
Nothing happened mind your business you step
You know we connect JFK 2 LAX
They wanna lock us all up and throw away the key
Don't wanna see us come up don't wanna see us making G's
Long as we know this is the key to our destruction
Let's make moves no discussion
Peace to my man
Hass and Orange Man paying the cost
All the twenty-five to lifers all my brothers getting tossed
Into the system supposed to rehabilitate
It's why you gotta regulate your own mindstate
Read study lessons and build your inner power
The next level doesn't tolerate cowards
For example I know this rich Nigerian
Powerful American that's proud to be an African
He asked me why do all us brothers be getting trapped
I told him I'd explain it broke it down in a rap
Whether you got naps braids waves or no hair
Without esteem for yourself ni**a you going nowhere
And you can swagger like you rule this Josey Wales
Unorganized revolt almost always mostly fails
Give up the savage ways be effective soldiers
To elevate the mental is to be poor no more
There's war in the streets prepared men know best
Our rhyme as live as it gets JFK 2 LAX
They're always making trouble you against the righteous
Killing us in cold blood those beats those vipers
And as I sit feeling the pain in my wrist
I vow to myself that I'm change this sh*t
Or at least I gotta try or part of me will die
And only by action will any ideas solidify
So I inhale exhale as I ponder
This grown man will make mistakes no longer
I've been there I've seen how they make us fall victim
To their tricknowledgy with no apology I diss them
And so I rip facts to d**e tracks I caress
You're gonna hear about it from JFK 2 LAX
