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