[Intro:]Even the black folk who got big money, they still fraid-afraid*They still scared. So they become well adjusted to in-injusticeSo they walk around almost like peacocksLook at me, look at me, my achievements and so forthAnd you can hear Curtis Mayfield sayingPeacocks strut because they can't fly.Nobody wanna be an eagle. Why? Cause they shoot eagles[Rhymefest: {*talking*}]Behold, the cry of the ghetto is coming for themAnd I have seen the oppression and heard their criesThus the voice came to me and said, I am, who I am.And I have sinned to set my people free[Verse 1:]What's the closest you ever been to death?You ever let your soul levitate over your body to watch you rest?Or put a gun to your head so you can play Roullette?Or take a whole bottle of pills till you felt no stress?What's the closest you ever been to life?You ever got a felony charge because the whole jury is white?Or seen a child, born on crack, cry through the night?The only bottle that he want is the pipeMan, what's the closest you ever been to being rich, Aspen ski trips?This is the Mafia, how many chicks you want Three 6?Bottles floatin' around the club, the club is sea sickYou feelin' like the pharaohs in EgyptFeelin' like menFeelin' like KenFeelin' like the Hurricane Katrina shit will never ever happen againFeelin' like you travelin' home[Rhymefest talking]Let's all turn to Exodus. 5-1[Verse Two]What's the closest you ever been to your family?Your pops locked up, your mama beat you, now you live with your grannyYour streets are closer to you then your uncle or auntieFuck school, it's time for plan BYou know what that isHoldin' the heatLettin' it squirtPuttin' in workTryin' to find a Heaven on EarthI pray to God and the Devil in churchI'ma worship whoever help me firstFolksWhat's you know 'bout trust?You ever got locked up and had the prosecutor say, You in luck.Tell us, who gave you the dope? Who gave you the pistol.Who told you to shoot it?Think smart, and your sentence is cutYeah, that's the same shit that set Fred Hampton upAnd that's the reason them crackers got the clamps in usSell dope little nigger, rap, dance for usI saw the cops beat a shorty when his hands was cuffedOhhWhat you know 'bout honor?What you know 'bout fear?What you know 'bout the power of the subconscious mind and that's why I'm hereI'm a mountain manYou can't move meCalm or cool meI keep a tool right where the jewels beAnd keep my money right were the Jews beI keep the pen next to the loose leafWith the Koran next to uziOhhhWhat's the closest you ever been to revenge?What's the closest you ever been to your friends?Nigga what's the closest you ever been to bein' broke, gettin' evicted again?Charlie, what's the closest you been to sin?Man, what's the closest you been to havin' a chain flooded with ice?This is Vegas so bet your lifeAnd if, and ifYou never been through none of this in your lifeWhat's the closest you ever been to Christ?
