Verse 2
Dm
Am
Yo they got me handcuffed
Dm
I'm down in central booking
Things are fucked up the way
Am
my future's looking
But I'm too fly,
I'ma change this scenario
Dm
Make some power moves and tighten
Am
up my bankroll
Chumps are leary though,
Dm
they see me as a threat
I'm like the black Dutch Schultz
when you get me upset
Am
Five-oh makes makes me want to flip,
Larry Davis style
Dm
Got a nigga depressed,
while he's awaitin' trial
Am
It's OK though,
Dm
cause from grey skies comes blue
Through darkness comes light and I
Am
be known as the Guru
And this I certify we all should be alerted by
Dm
the traps within the system,
Am
our youth is gettin' murdered by
the D.A. says they got
me on a felony
Dm
I'm tryin' to live my life,
Am
so what the fuck is you tellin' me?
The streets are war,
that's what brothers carry weapons for
Dm
And I take the weight as I did before
Am
The next thing you know,
they got me on the radio
Dm
A rapper arrested,
Am
suckers showin' me on video
Of course I know, that I'm a role model
Dm
But yo this rap life is real life
Am
sometimes it's full throttle
Right now I gotta think about
Dm
me fuck the industry
You gets no love,
Am
except those who support me
What's the story,
Dm
what happened when I went to L.A.?
Mixin' shit up,
Am
no not there I got family
Nothin' happened,
Dm
mind your business yo step
You know we connect, JFK 2 LAX
Verse 3
Dm
They want to lock us all up,
Am
and throw away the key
Don't want to see us come up,
Dm
don't want to see us makin' G's
Am
Long as we know this is the key
to our destruction
Let's make moves no
Dm
discussion
Verse 4
Am
Peace to my man Hass,
and Orange Man payin the cost
Dm
All the twenty-five to to lifers all
Am
my brothers gettin' tossed
into the system, supposed to rehabilitate
Dm
It's why you gotta regulate
Am
your own mindstate
Read, study lessons and build
your inner power
Dm
Am
The next level, doesn't tolerate cowards
For example, I know this rich Nigerian
Dm
Powerful American that's proud
Am
to be an African
He asked me why do all
us brothers be gettin' trapped
Dm
I told him I'd explain it broke
Am
it down in a rap
Whether you got naps,
Dm
braids waves or no hair
Without esteem for yourself nigga,
Am
you goin' nowhere
And you can swagger like
you rule this; Josey Wales
Dm
un organized revolt almost
Am
always mostly fails
Give up the savage ways,
be effective soldiers
Dm
To elevate the mental is to be
poor no more
Am
There's war in the streets,
prepared men know best
Dm
Our rhyme as live as it gets,
Am
JFK 2 LAX
They're always makin' trouble yo,
against the righteous
Dm
Killin' us in cold blood,
Am
those beats those vipers
And as I sit feelin' the pain in my wrist
Dm
Am
I vow to myself that I'ma change this shit
Or at least I gotta try,
Dm
or part of me will die
Am
And only by action will any ideas solidify
So I inhale, exhale as I ponder
Dm
Am
This grown man will make mis
takes no longer
I've been there,
I've seen how they make us fall victim
Dm
to their tricknowledgy, with no
Am
apology I diss em
And so I rip facts to dope
tracks I caress
Dm
Am
You're gonna hear about it, from JFK 2 LAX
