They'll put you DOWN
IP:
No matter how much you earn, you goin DOWN
No matter how much you learn, you goin DOWN
No matter how much you give, you goin DOWN
No matter what you do, you goin DOWN....DOWN....DOWN

What really makes you think that you can be set apart
From the image they create of us and take to heart
It dont matter if you on tv, the radio or on the charts
You think they give two fucks about a 106 and park?
We've been bred to believe that we are the inferior
All because of the color of our body's exterior
You say we've advanced and have come so far
But the same shit goin on, just under the radar
You can see it on the streets, it hits close to home
Kids runnin wild while they mother hits crack to the dome
And as we kill each other with these poisinous gases
They sit high above us and laugh in the masses
Now as the enemy gathers at our front gates
We too divided to come together and change our fates
Sit back and look, at all these ignorant 'niggers'
Then watch the crack cook and the white man double his figures
No matter how much you earn, you goin DOWN
No matter how much you learn, you goin DOWN
No matter how much you give, you goin DOWN
No matter what you do, you goin DOWN....DOWN....DOWN

What happened to raisin your right fist and yellin 'black power!'
Ever since Malcolm died we've turned into self-hatin cowards
Black mamas bringin they children up to be jealous adults
So hate towards those who succeed are the direct results
We all need to wake up from the rap videos we live in
Violence through music is only hypnotizing the children
Now when they grow up they'll follow the same paths
Its a never ending cycle and we cant even do the math
They slowly takin away our rights with bullshit Patriot Acts
But don't nobody watch the news they'd rather see rappers act
We drownin ourselves in ignorance, and now we in too deep
And when we finally try to get out, that hill's gone be to steep
The reality is grim and the future is only grimmer
So step up now, because opportunities are gettin thinner
Just remember that your a member of the most played people around
And no matter where you go you gone be put down
No matter how much you earn, you goin DOWN
No matter how much you learn, you goin DOWN
No matter how much you give, you goin DOWN
No matter what you do, you goin DOWN....DOWN....DOWN
