 How we stop the black panthers?
 Ronald Reagan cooked up an answer
 You hear that?
 What Gil Scott was hearin
 When our heroes and heroines got hooked on heroin.
 Crack raised the murder rate in DC and Maryland
 We invested in that it's like we got Merril-Lynched
 And we been hangin from the same tree ever since
 Sometimes I feel the music is the only medicine
 So we cook it, cut it, measure it, bag it,sell it
 The fiends cop it
 Nowadays they cant tell if that's that good shit
 We ain't sure man
 Put the CD on your toungue yeah, thats pure man.
 
 From the place where the fathers gone,
 The mothers is hardly home
 And the...
 Gonna lock us up in a...home
 How the Mexicans say we just tryin to party homes
 They wanna pack us all in a box like styrofoam
 Who gave Saddam anthrax?
 George Bush got the answers
 Back in the hood it's a different type of chemical,
 Am and Hammer baking soda
 Raised they own quota
 Writin when our soldiers ran for the stove cuz
 Cuz dreams of being 'Hova went from bein a brokeman ta bein a dopeman
 Ta bein a president look theres hope man
 This that inspiration for tha mos and tha folks man,
 Shorty come and see if mama straight overdosin.
 And this is the soundtrack,
 This tha type of music you make when you round that--
 Crack music nigga,
 That real black music nigga.
 
 That's that crack music nigga
 That real black music nigga

 Our father, give us this day our daily bread ...give us these days and take our daily bread,
 See I done did all this ole bullshit
 And to attone I throw a little somethin, somethin on the pulpit.
 We took that shit, measured it and then cooked that shit
 And what we gave back was crack music
 And now we ooze it through they nooks and crannies
 So our mammas aint got to be they cooks and nannies
 And we gonna repo everything they ever took from grammy
 Now the former slaves trade hooks for grammies
 This dark diction has become America's addiction those who ain't even black use it.
