Genocide, Suicide, Homicide, Fratricide is the game today

I shoot fire at you

You shoot fire at me

Is a game for fools who can’t see

Veiled under the delusion of democracy

How can people who can’t read

Make up their minds when they don’t believe

You think that you are shooting at the enemy

The enemy is you obviously

I know that you speak like me

The enemy is not here fighting see

It is you and me B

So what we grew up together

And we swim in the same sea

I don’t like you anymore because you look like me

My enemy is now my friend coming around

I intend to be the new sheriff in town

You don’t want to change but I do

I don’t want anything but killing you

Your brain is affected cause you’re a fool

You are small I’m telling you

I gave up my soul and my religion to be

I think I’ll go out on a killing spree

So what if some Prophet taught me right

When I get drunk and high I want to fight

I don’t care who it is

Or where you live

I am too stupid to know how to give

I went to school but didn’t learn

Education and knowledge is not my concern

So what if my religion means peace

I have a lot more fun taking it to the streets

And if killing is the game that we play

Game over B

I never loved you anyway

So they call me a terrorist

I’ll say that it is you

You are the enemy of the Christian and the Jew

I want democracy for my rule

Don’t have to Overstand

And don’t believe in school

I’m much too ignorant to realize

I’m doing the work of the man

When I wake it will be too late

But I’ll know it was all a part of the plan

You must be out of your mind

We gave you the boot and threw our shoes

But we don’t seem to be getting through to you

Didn’t we tell you we had enough

You don’t understand now it’s going to get rough

You think we are afraid

We are not afraid to die

We  rather die then live a lie

You stole everything that we had

Then you call yourself everyone’s dad

You dropped thousands of us to the ground

When you sent your hit men to the crowd

Well guess what big daddy your time is through

We are coming to get you

The time for talk is no more

Time for everyone to take the floor

We will be coming from all around

This time everybody is throwin  down

You ask for it

You got it

You know how we roll

Straight to your face

Make a new hole

About to change the way that you look at me

I gave up a long time ago wanting to be free

Now am content with my eyes closed and can’t see

Only want to survive as long as I can

I don’t have any goals I am an ignorant man

I am a child of the night who is lost in the dark

I didn’t have a chance I lost from the start

I know there are choices for my to see

But I am to damn lazy and trifling

I treat my sister like a piece of dirt

I call her a bitch and other things that are worst

Traditions and manners don’t mean anything you see

I am raw and what you see is the real me

So don’t come around telling me to be cool

I ain’t cool old school

I am new school cruel

You made the beast that you see before you

You left me fatherless and homeless no clue

I am the hate that hate made the reflection of you

There is no compromise and you can’t talk to me

I am as dark and as low as you will find

I am a new age nigga

This is my state of mind

It’s late in the night and I’m about to get in the mix

Don’t do drugs, don’t need a fix

Getting away from the bricks, the pain, and other disease

Going out to the burbs to catch a breeze

Got to make some money  my family needs to eat

I am not that nice and when I come I come strong

I am the child of the night who don’t play, no fun

Everyone studies my style to see how I do

I study everyone cause I am about to rob you

You think that this is a sport that you watch on TV

You don’t know anything about me

And many of you have never heard of me except on TV

I roll with the flow way down low

I am out in the night looking for that cheese dough

Have to do what I have to do

I can’t live in peace living with you

Around the way is where I flow

A place you won’t live, a place you can’t go

And a place that you will never know

When you see me do you fear the man who I am

When I play ball you’re my biggest fan

It’s after the game is through when the trouble comes

Life in the ghetto there is no fun

You want everything better than you give to me

You think my life is cool on TV

Separate ain’t equal where I come from

Around the way brothers live under rule of gun

No justice no peace is the way we roll

Brothers stuck in the ghetto hole

Think that the burbs is far removed from me

Close your eyes so you can’t see

There is one little thing that you fail to realize

I see everything that you do with uncovered eyes

The thing you don’t know, realize and can’t see

Is that you’re in the same boat as me

Why are you harassing me

I’m the janitor at Harvard University

Do you think you can come push me around

Just because my skin is brown

Why did you come bursting through the door?

Did you think I was robbing a store

They hired me to do a  job

But you think I’m in this neighborhood to rob

Put the handcuffs on me

And throw away the key

How come I feel like you’re robbing me?

It’s my job to turn the lights down real low

It’s also my job to clean the flo

I am only the janitor at Harvard University

But I got a special friend with a law degree

I think I’ll give him a call and then you will see

He will tell you that you are “acting stupidly…”

I took a trip the other day

Had to get away from around the way

I saw a new thing I had not seen

Like the grass and the trees

In the burbs I saw a pretty girl

A pretty girl from another world

She was a afraid because she saw me on TV

I told her that what she saw was not the real me

She said that our worlds were too far apart

A child of the night like me would be wrong from the start

I told her of crazy ghetto love

And the fun that we would have hand in glove

She never met anyone like me

A brother from around the way and on TV

I am a child of the night but this is sunshine I see

I’ll do anything so that she is with me

Her family drew back afraid

When they met the brother that is me

A thug down low they thought that they would see

But once they saw me coming around

And heard the science that I threw down

Still they said the girl was not for me

She needs a brother with an advanced degree

I told them about my PhD

I smiled and held my head up high

Cause brothers from around the way don’t cry

She made up her mind my world to see

To discover the life outside her family

The one that they saw on TV

Later that night when my trip was through

They found their daughter was  traveling free

Now she is rolling around the way with me
