1
Now is the time
2
C'mon y'all
3
Stand tall, live your life to the limit
4
Cause haterism seem like a fucking epidemic
5
And look at Ice Cube, I ain't no gimmick
6
I'm straight from the hood, I got to represent it
7
Now, every day I think about my color
8
And all the crazy shit we do to one another
9
I ain't your blood brother, but I'm your cause brother
10
Let's take it back to the love and how it was brother
11
If not, we goin' pull these triggers
12
Show the world we deserve to be called niggas
13
I make a fuck-up, like Don Imus
14
Bow on his knees, and call me yo' highness
15
You can too, you got the power to
16
Don't let this motherfucking system devour you
17
I won't pretend, or act like I'm knowing you
18
But check it out I understand what you going through
19
[Chorus]
20
But remember, brothers and sisters
21
You can still, stand, tall
22
Just be thankful
23
For what you got
24
I know what y'all motherfuckers thinking, heh heh
25
Here comes another rapper with a song about hope
26
All you wanna hear is a song about dope
27
And how a nigga got mo' money than the Pope
28
But he'll never tell you when he drop the soap
29
No~! Ice Cube is here to drop you a note
30
Cause some of our folk used to hang from ropes
31
And some of our people used to hang from trees
32
Now the only thing hangin' motherfucker is these
33
So, get your mind right, and I'ma rhyme right
34
Fuck the limelight, and a blind dyke
35
I'm the sunlight, too bright to look
36
When it's all said and done I should write the book
37
You too cool for school, too old to know?
38
Get your ass off the grassroots and let 'em grow
39
I understand, it ain't no love lost
40
But little kids, it ain't no Santa Claus
41
[Chorus]
42
Yeah, for real
43
I was born in the mud but I came out clean
44
That's 'til the government tried to intervene
45
Tried to lock me up when I was only 19
46
Don't never ever ever let 'em kill your dream
47
I make shit raw that piss off the law
48
If you want some fake shit turn this off
49
If you want some realness I know you can feel this
50
Maybe we can heal this just like an illness
51
Black on black, I got your back
52
People don't think that we know how to act
53
Just because our neighborhood is filled with crack
54
And the CIA, won't take it back
55
Never on top, always on the bottom
56
Never put your trust in Hillary Rodham
57
Cause I can tell you now it's goin' turn out rotten
58
Keep on pushin', get 'em 'til we got 'em
59
[Chorus]
60
Stand up, for real
61
Raise your hand if you sick of this bullshit
62
Heh, in the belly of the evil empire
