Intro:   Yeah positivity over comes negativity check it.      A gat don't make you a man cause a man made the gat   So stop with the black on black (x2)      Verse 1:   We got black on black   Black on crack   Knowledge of self is what the black people lack   Grew up in the projects with the welfare and the food stamps   Modern day concentration camps   Where we lost all our unity   Because the negativity pulls us down like gravity   Black people on eath others back   Little shortie sedated thinkin' the way out is by selling cracks   I seen black borthers cry like day by day the number multiply   And the devil don't give a damn long as a black man kills another black man   It makes his job more eaiser   As the tick goes with the tock he's just gettin' sleezier and sleezier   Here's a good example of yourself   Talkin' about a devil on a record they put you on the shelf   As long as you talk about "yo I bust this nigga and I bust that nigga"   You grow bigger as a rap figure   But that's still black on black welcome back   It's time to graduate from that      Hook:   Change gon come change gon come time to free the dumb time to free the dumb   (x3)   Change gon come say what say what so get up out the slum      Verse 2:   Now let's deal on the real don't you set sick of this?    The way we hate eachother the shit's rediculous   It's time to move on to the next phase   Cause there's too many shorties gettin' boxed in the grave   Some think respect is an uzi or a tech   But when he steals your intellect it's like a rope around your neck   That's the 2000 tricknowledge   That's the shit you won't learn in college brother   You get to be strong you got to hold on   You got to know the ledge before you hit the edge   Time to get wise and civilize   Open up your eyes all three eyes and recognzie   What your doing all that bullshit you pursueing   Put your whole life on ruin   Let's kill the black on black vigga   Cause it only gets us locked up or in the box quicker   And that's ain't how you get the cheese   Cause now ya locked up or gunned down by your enemy   But I'm a deader that gat   Remember a gat don't make you a man cause a man made the gat   Word is born      Keep it true God keep it true (x8)      Puba talking:   Knowhati'msayin'? time to civilize you know get wise. think. stop and think   Youknowhati'msayin'? no doubt. check it so just...      Stop think, listen to the God hear what he's sayin'. (x2)      Hook      Outro:   No doubt I'd like to send this one out to all the people still striving and   Stugglin'to keep it real youknowhati'msayin'? not actin' like we keepin' it   Real no doubt. peace and love. that's d on the hook off.
