He didn't know Tupac Shakur
You don't know Snoop Doggy-Dogg
You don't know Biggie Smalls
You don't blow them buds
While you sitting on your butt
Afraid to come into our community
And deal with the grass roots of your people
A whole generation has come up around
Let's talk about the rappers for a bit
Can we talk about the rappers for a moment?
Let's talk about Tupac
Born out of the spirit of the revolution
Sitting in a jail cell
Carrying the fruit of life
[?] the child in the womb
Sick and tired of what's been going on
In the hills of North America
And so they rap
And so they rap (you know)
Lyrics, (you know)
Lyrics
They speak to the pain and the suffering
And low-down life of the black [?]
If you don't stand up for the liberation of our people
Then you hoe with any nigga
I don't care who he is or where he is
To hell with him
And if you stand in the pool pit
In his [?]
As the baddest nigga
The baddest nigga
Baddest nigga
The baddest nigga
The baddest nigga
Baddest nigga
The baddest nigga and the coldest
Keep the faith, baby
Keep the faith, baby
Keep the faith
Keep the faith, baby
Don't panic
Don't panic
Don't panic
Tupac said the same thing
Tupac said the same thing
Keep your head up (you know)
