Verse 1
(A minor) Yo
Yo Premier?
Yeah whassup G?
That trip to L.A. may be delayed
Why whassup I'm on my way
to the airport now
Yeah well your boy Guru got knocked
What?
I don't know what this is about sounds
crazy man
Somethin' about a gun (D minor) (A minor)
"The court calls (D minor) Keith
Elam to the stand.
Please approach the (A minor) bench."
(G sharp minor) (D minor)
(A minor)
Verse 2
(D minor)
Yo they got (A minor) me handcuffed
I'm down in central (D minor) booking
Things are fucked up the way
my future's (A minor) looking
But I'm too fly,
I'ma change this scenario
(D minor) Make some power moves and tighten
up my bank (A minor) roll
Chumps are leary though,
they see me as a (D minor) threat
I'm like the black Dutch Schultz
when you get me upset
Five-o (A minor) h makes makes me want to flip,
Larry Davis style
Got a (D minor) nigga depressed,
while he's awaitin' trial
(A minor) It's OK though,
cause from grey skies comes (D minor) blue
Through darkness comes light and I
be known as the (A minor) Guru
And this I certify we all should be alerted by
the (D minor) traps within the system,
our youth is gettin' (A minor) murdered by
the D.A. says they got
me on a felony
I'm tryin' (D minor) to live my life,
so what the fuck is you (A minor) tellin' me?
The streets are war,
that's what brothers carry weapons for
(D minor) And I take the weight as I did before
(A minor) The next thing you know,
they got me on the radio
A (D minor) rapper arrested,
suckers showin' me on (A minor) video
Of course I know, that I'm a role model
But yo (D minor) this rap life is real life
sometimes it's full (A minor) throttle
Right now I gotta think about
me fuck (D minor) the industry
You gets no love,
except those who sup (A minor) port me
What's the story,
what happened when I went to (D minor) L.A.?
Mixin' shit up,
no not there I got (A minor) family
Nothin' happened,
mind your business yo (D minor) step

Verse 3
They want (D minor) to lock us all up,
and throw away the (A minor) key
Don't want to see us come up,
don't want to (D minor) see us makin' G's
Long as we know this is the (A minor) key
to our destruction
Let's make moves no
discussion (D minor)
Verse 4
Peace to (A minor) my man Hass,
and Orange Man payin the cost
All the (D minor) twenty-five to to lifers all
my brothers gettin' (A minor) tossed
into the system, supposed to rehabilitate
(D minor) It's why you gotta regulate
your own (A minor) mindstate
Read, study lessons and build
your inner power
The (D minor) next level, doesn't (A minor) tolerate cowards
For example, I know this rich Nigerian
(D minor) Powerful American that's proud
to be (A minor) an African
He asked me why do all
us brothers be gettin' trapped
I (D minor) told him I'd explain it broke
it down in a (A minor) rap
Whether you got naps,
braids waves or no (D minor) hair
Without esteem for yourself nigga,
you goin' (A minor) nowhere
And you can swagger like
you rule this; Josey Wales
(D minor) un organized revolt almost
always mostly (A minor) fails
Give up the savage ways,
be effective soldiers
(D minor) To elevate the mental is to be
poor no more
There's (A minor) war in the streets,
prepared men know best
Our rhyme (D minor) as live as it gets,
(A minor) JFK 2 LAX
They're always makin' trouble yo,
against the righteous
(D minor) Killin' us in cold blood,
those beats (A minor) those vipers
And as I sit feelin' the pain in my wrist
(D minor) I vow to myself that I'ma change this (A minor) shit
Or at least I gotta try,
or part of me will (D minor) die
And only by action will any (A minor) ideas solidify
So I inhale, exhale as I ponder
(D minor) This grown man will make (A minor) mis
takes no longer
I've been there,
I've seen how they make us fall victim
to their (D minor) tricknowledgy, with no
apology I (A minor) diss em
And so I rip facts to dope
tracks I caress
You're gonna (D minor) hear about it, from JFK 2 LAX (A minor)
