Walk on By

Lyrics

[Intro] I think I speak for all of us when I say (Uh) Fuck the politics and government (Yeah) Fuck the bullshit Fuck the lies you keep feedin' us Don't call me "nigga", whitey I want my equal share I'm better than you I'm bigger, I'm stronger I last longer (It's one life) This is my message to you, and you (One love) (Fuck with me, I'm comin') [Verse 1] Uh, I'm the crack baby needin' a fix The bum beggin' for change, the wino that's thirsty as shit The nine-to-fiver workin' hard to get minimum wage Wish Roosevelt would've stayed alive, there'd be better days It was more honest when we they called us slave Now they say "affirmative action", callin' us niggas in so many ways They closin' schools down to build a bigger cage They want us there for life until our body's in the grave And when our bodies no longer exist, they cross us off the list Give us the shortest month of the year to celebrate And this is why we demonstrate, hold hands for peace instead of agony And for our troubles, a sniper shoots up a hotel balcony That's why we out piecin' pushers, the recession I blame it on the Bushes But they rather blame the drama on Obama There's a storm brewin', and I got all I need for evidence In the movies, when the world ends, a black man is president [Chorus: Isaac Hayes & Aasim] That you don't see the tears (See my daughter cryin' 'cause she ain't got no food) So just let me grieve (See my wife cryin' 'cause we ain't got no money) In private 'cause each time I see you I just can't help myself (You don't know what it's like, you ballin' motherfucker) I think about how tight we used to be (You don't know what's like to starve) I break down and cry (You forgot how to win) Oh baby, walk on by (I'm back, listen to me, hahaha) [Verse 2] Heaven help me, I'm a sinner, but I also feel like Jesus With twelve disciples at dinner, politics ain't just for government It resides with the record spinners, executives with no passion A couple of corny gimmicks and you can't recognize who's rappin'? And niggas they say your family but, water's thicker than blood? How does a nigga remain loyal, when the bullshit overfloods? When the fans demands honesty, and you feed 'em lies When the shit I write is kilos, but only moves a few dimes And I'm so sick of the Jedi, that it's givin' me red eye Let my voice be the drug on which those in the struggle can get by Fuckin' fairytale, Gone with the Wind again Contract, no signature, no industry benevolence No retirements, just more requirements Forty million spins and downloads, and we're not hirin' Where's all the Scott Frees? What happened to the old Loud? Aasim for president, I'm bringin' back that old sound [Chorus: Isaac Hayes & Aasim] That you don't see the tears (You scared of a nigga like me) So just let me grieve (You know what I stand for) In private 'cause each time I see you (You know what I believe in) I just can't help myself (Everybody ain't French) I think about how tight we used to be (But we could all get a piece) I break down and cry (It's time for the broke niggas to get a piece) Oh baby, walk on by (We can't be stopped, we can't be stopped, niggas, let's go) [Verse 3] Forty acres and a mule, cool Pull a wool over our eyes, tell us it's rainin' while you financially gainin' Seven hun'ed billion dollars for bail outs Bank accounts overdraft every month while you shell out Million dollar bonuses, give nothin' to the homeless kids That just wanna go to school and have a future, speak your mind too much They shoot ya, where's the proof? The case is closed And niggas is still pointin' fingers on who the fuck play what, bro? And it's record deal, record deal, fifty million artists Everybody's swag is crazy plus they flow go so retarted When really, in reality really, it's sad to see these no talent No skill havin', couldn't rap they self up out of a paper bag And still braggin' 'bout they honesty, or honestly, ugh I can't stand 'em, I wish they all would just vanish into thin air For now I take it all with my stride Fuck sheddin' a tear of bein' bitter, I just walk on by, yuh [Outro: 2Pac] Given the chance, the opportunity and the experience And the lessons from people, I could be the best But right now I don't even wish to be best, I just want to be one of 'em
