0:01Technique is ill son watch how I spill one
0:05Peace to Biggie 2Pac Big L and Big Pun
0:08Havoc on the streets of Staten snitches
0:11House niggas children watch
0:13As they produce the same pattern
0:15Somebody raped our women
0:17murdered our babies
0:18Hit us with the cracks and guns
0:20In the early 80's
0:21For those that murdered me shall
0:23Stand before God
0:25To fall at the hands of fate
0:27Then out comes the rod
0:28Bring it back bring it back
0:30Bring it back
0:36What the f**k is going on
0:37I can't go to sleep
0:39Feds jumping out their jeeps
0:41I can't go to sleep
0:43Babies with flies on they cheeks
0:44It's hard to go to sleep
0:46Ish bowled two 6's twice
0:48I couldn't go to sleep
0:49Aiyyo we deep in the stairs
0:51We carry big guns
0:52Whippy got hit up with the big sh*t
0:55Bong bong
0:56Stop at the cheeba spot
0:58Then pass the leak spot
1:00Drove past y'all niggas again you took a cheap shot
1:02Not knowing f**king with me you
1:05Get your meat chopped
1:07You thought we fell on our face
1:08you need to be stopped
1:10Call on the chariots call on an ambulance
1:13You better smile my ni**a you on Candid Cam
1:16Gangsta broad these be the laws
1:19Walk with big balls
1:20Ni**a motherf**king eunuch
1:21I even take which was yours
1:23I'm the ni**a that made you man
1:25When your rap wasn't doing well
1:27I'm the ni**a that gave you a hand
1:35Don't kill your brother learn to love each other
1:42Don't get mad cause it ain't that bad
1:48Look at who you are you've come too far
1:55It's in your hands just be a man
2:02Get the jelly out your spine
2:05Cobwebs out of your mind
2:09I can't go to sleep I can't shut my eyes
2:12They shot the father at his mom's
2:14Building seven times
2:15They shot Malcolm in the chest
2:17Front of his little seeds
2:19Jesse watched as they shot King on the balcony
2:23Exported Marcus Garvey cause he tried to spark us
2:26With the knowledge of ourselves and our forefathers
2:29Oh Jacqueline you heard the rifle shots crackling
2:33Her husband's head in her hands
2:35You tried to put it back in
2:36America's watching blood-stained
2:39Ink blotches
2:40Medgar took one to the skull for
2:42Integrating college
2:42What's the science Somebody
2:45This is trick knowledge
2:47They try to keep us enslaved and
2:48Still scrape for dollars
2:50Walking through Park Hill drunk as a f**k
2:52Looking around like these Devils
2:54I'm ready to break this world down
2:56They got me trapped up in a metal gate
2:59Just stressed out with hate
3:00And just give me no time
3:01To relax and use my mind to meditate
3:03What should I do grab a blunt or a brew
3:06Grab a 22 and run out there and
3:08Put this f**king violence in you
3:11I can't go to sleep I can't shut em son I
