Verse 1
(G major) (E minor) (G major) (E minor) We
interrupt this album
for a very important announce (G major) ment.
You see, the (E minor) situation's (A minor) terrible.
(E minor) Some claim that it's unbearable.
(A minor) That's why I'm (E minor) breaking it (G major) down
into (E minor) par ables and (A minor) phrases.
(E minor) With the rhyme that I speak,
just because I'm a brother,
the cops (G major) want to sweat me.
Mistak (A minor) ing my identity, the (E minor) man of unity.
An (A minor) ex -gangbanger (G major) ,
trying to change my community.
Giv (A minor) in' to the black
as if (E minor) I was your Robin Hood
A (A minor) three -man gang, (G major) spreadin' knowledge from Lin (E minor) wood Broth (A minor) ers on the corner,
sellin' (E minor) rocks like soap
Cluckers (A minor) all on my tip
(E minor) because she (G major) thinks I got dope
(E minor) My (A minor) homie got killed
(E minor) because a set that he claimed
She took (A minor) one to his head,
(G major) they had to mop up his brains
I (E minor) can't see it because it ain't no fun
Break it (A minor) down with the (E minor) story (G major) Page One
Dead, (E minor) gone, no longer exist
He's been a dope dealer
since the (G major) age of six
(E minor) Born into this world with nothin' at all
So when he (A minor) got to the (E minor) age,
he sold (G major) rocks for my (E minor) doll
I never seen nothing like this in life
He was (A minor) put out the kinder (G major) garten
for carrying a knife
(E minor) So when he got grown,
the streets gave him clout
He made so much money
that the banger (G major) s took him (E minor) out
They broke into his house,
raped his wife
Dropped (A minor) homie to his (E minor) knees
and then (G major) took a (E minor) life
Young brothers listen up,
I think you oughta
Give (A minor) me a break (E minor) for the
(G major) teenage report (E minor) er
Yo feel good,
(G major) this ain't no dance record
So why don't we just skip
the breaks homie, (E minor) kick it
(G major) Dav (A minor) id Kimball graduated
(E minor) from college
With (A minor) every degree (G major) in the world
And the know (E minor) ledge that he (G major) had
He (E minor) faced a big problem
He (A minor) came back home
(E minor) and couldn't even get a job
His (G major) exact word (A minor) s was,
I (E minor) don't understand it
It's (A minor) not how I planned (G major) it,
it seems like I'm branded
I (A minor) worked through college
and never (E minor) got any sleep
And (A minor) now I can't (G major) find a job
and a swap (E minor) meet
Why (G major) the hell (A minor) have I felt (E minor) so bad
Every (A minor) time I see (G major) an Asian
it makes me mad
(E minor) Cause the (A minor) fact is the brothers
don't (E minor) own no more
The (A minor) Asians bought (G major) every
damn corner store
(E minor) The (A minor) laundry mess ain't
even (G major) a payphone
Now (A minor) tell me, what's (E minor) left
for a brother to own?
So he (A minor) put pen to paper
and stepped (E minor) to the bank
He (A minor) asked for a (E minor) loan
and all he (G major) got was gank
(E minor) The bank said, Dave,
what you lack is experience
100 (A minor) ,000, (E minor) you (G major) can't be seri (E minor) ous
Take a (A minor) job at McDon (E minor) ald's
or run for the border
Life could be sweeted
(G major) for an a quarter (E minor)
Dave said, what in store they cussin'
The (A minor) man behind the (G major) desk
hit the panic but (E minor) ton
The (A minor) rented cop tripped
and shot (E minor) six rounds
And every (A minor) body just (E minor) screamed
when (G major) Dave went down
(E minor) Drug (A minor) cost, it was a (E minor) word from the corner
But (A minor) you got the (E minor) scoops
from the (G major) teenage reporter
Yo, D .F .D., that's real nice on
the knowledge tip, brother
We need to hear that
But (E minor) why don't you kick (G major) that verse
about Katrina, man
The one about Katrina
Kick it for (E minor) the ladies
Katrina John (G major) son, better known (E minor) as Flip
Was a neighborhood cluck (G major) er
for the Compton Crips
(E minor) Stickin' (G major) every homie on
the (E minor) Long Beach block
All you had to do
(G major) was give the girl a (E minor) rock or a (G major) blast
Booyah, oh, (E minor) in other words, (G major) dope
It wasn't nothin' new to (E minor) her,
cause all she (G major) did was smoke
(E minor) Her body was so (G major) little
and her (E minor) age was so young
Her situation was defin (G major) itely
sprung (E minor) on (G major) crack
To the fact, I gotta get (E minor) back, unknown
I know, break (G major) down the (E minor) track
Katrin (A minor) a grew up in a home
(E minor) that was broken
Pop (A minor) rolled out and mo
(G major) m started smokin'
She (A minor) had two brothers
that were both (E minor) still young
She was (A minor) moms and (E minor) sis all
(G major) row didn't run
times (A minor) was hard, but she was (E minor) clocking
a (G major) she had her (A minor) eyes on a prize
And much (G major) better day
(E minor) She was a (A minor) chocolate store
with an (E minor) untouched rep
because she (A minor) didn't want to
follow in mo (G major) m's
Foot (E minor) steps the (A minor) harder she tried
the more (E minor) she failed
and life (A minor) was becoming a (G major) living hell
(E minor) till she met this young man
By the name of mark
who blew her mind
and then stole (G major) her heart
(E minor) They made love and this day
both regret it
because three (A minor) months later
(G major) Katrina was preg (E minor) nant
Mark denied that it was his baby.
Katrina got scared (G major) went down and crazy
(E minor) Unable to cope with the heart
that was broken
Katrin (A minor) a found love
(G major) in a pipe that was smoke (E minor) filled
I (A minor) still can't see it cuz the (E minor) story is wild
the impact (A minor) from the crack
took effect (G major) on her child
(E minor) Drug (A minor) s death life (E minor) on the border
all (A minor) in a day for the (G major) teenage reporter
(E minor) (A minor) (E minor)
(G major) (E minor) (A minor) (G major)
We (E minor) now return you to your normally scheduled
Outro 1
hour.
(A minor) (G major) (E minor)
(A minor) (E minor) (G major) (E minor) (G major) (E minor) (G major)
