Ya took me from a place Where the race didn't matter And gathered up bodies Without a choice So I rather Pass my opinion/back Run ya over With my rack an pinion Never stop the engine For watcha fathers did do the Indian North and south Plus the Caribbean I got a vendetta Cause I know better Better black than a stereotype white No cash flow with out work Talkin' bout the past You busted our past You busted our ass Now you afraid 'cause I never got paid Now sucka jump You can't take whatcha want [Chorus] You can't take whatcha want Cause ya took whatcha want Can't get away 'cause we got it on tape You can't take whatcha want Cause ya took whatcha want Thin line between law and rape (scream) You can't take whatcha want Don't cha know We ain't got nothin' left Cause you took the rest We ain't got jazz rock and roll Rappin' the lose With a few fat ladies left singin' da blues Go abracadabra to make A wish I can mess wit Wonder why I'm under Neath a crew I can't get wit I never knew land was an acquisition BS from the best man in position Come again with dat shit And set hit like a punk No, you can't take whatcha want [Chorus: x2] You can't take whatcha want I open up the trunk I see your phony ass Try to counterfeit funk From land to land To sea to sea Allover got the other man Messin' with me Took the motherland Made a slave of my mother and man Got a good man Sayin' goddamn And to hell with Back in the days Unless we go way back To the black ways Always Watch your back If ya crooked don't front You can't take whatcha want [Chorus: x2] We died on the line We walk the fine line he talked a good line
