[Intro - Fat Joe] - *Lamajic talks & harmonizes in background*Yeah, it's time babyIt's time to speak the truth, maturityHuh, niggas gotta evolve to let niggas know the realYa call yourself real, ya gotta start speakin about the realThis is Joe Crack The Don, and this is what I'm bringin to you[Fat Joe]Uh, yo, nowadays, I'm flirtin with uncertain deathLord I gotta be dyin, cause after all this cryin, how much more hurtin's left?When will the pain stop?This depression and anxiety, is gonna make me show another side of meMy niggas ride with me cause I'm the truthThere's benefits to rollin with this clique, don't nobody fuck with youStill they label me a tyrant and a backstabberBut study the facts of crack, the shit don't add upI'm bringin opportunity to my communityProbably the only rapper that cares, but still you out to ruin meWho you foolin B? I'm for unity, latins and blacksCould you fathom the strength, we have of the two it attachBorn together, voted alikeThese uncle charm politicians ain't holdin us rightHow could the same nigga be 20 years in officeWhen it's clear the only thing that's risin is unemploymentAbortion, little kids havin kidsThe school system is failing us, now ain't that some shitWhile the rich keep gettin richer, the poor keep dyin youngI can't hide no more, the time has come[Chorus - Lajamic] - w/ ad libsI was born in the ghettoTremblin, tryin' a stay aliveCause when you're born in the ghettoNo one seems to hear your cry[Fat Joe]Brown skin, you know I love my bra-ha-own skinEveryday I'm confronted with racismThese motherfuckin coppers, wanna bag us and have us shackled up in state prisonsAfter all the taxes I payYou would think when they stop us, they would have something nicer to sayThan get the fuck out the car, where the drugs at?all the jewelry you wearin, where the fuckin guns at?Once they search the car clean and find nothinThe same crooked cops try to act like they know us or somethinLaughin, tellin jokes by the thousandsTwo seconds ago they tried to send us to the mountainsLeave my son without a father, my wife without a husbandThe more I think about it, man it's just disgustingStill we live amongst 'em, everybody wants outThat's why we rap like we got silver spoons in our mouthsLike we ain't grow up on welfareNigga don't even go there, you probably wore Pro PlayersWe need to educate the youth, tell our seeds the truthToo much to share, the bare minimum will exceed the proof[Chorus][Lajamic - singing until fade]Oh, yeah, so much painTryin hard to stay alive, stay aliveOut in these streets, oooh (*harmonizing*)Man sometimes in can get so toughOh yeah, yes it canYes it can, yeahIt can get so hard, so hard, so hard
