Letter From The Government
Brother Ali

CHORUS: I got a letter from the government the other daynI opened it and read it and burned that mannThe way that I live don't concern that mannWe gon' have to settle this another waynnWhen the knuckles turn whitenEyes begin bulgingnI take an honest look at my lifenIt's insultinnI been sulkin about it all weeknHearin adults screachinnMetal grindin the concretenSparks dance where the worst of both worlds clashnMeaning the blue tyrants and my broke assnI understand this is pawn take pawn shitnBut Ill be damned if you'll shoot me on my lawn bitchnThink twice before shinin that light at my drawersnin the alley in the middle of the nightnGarbage baggin, house, shoesnPut two and two togethernI aint no drug smuggler I'm a struggling brothanHad this dream where I go nutsnDial 911 from the roof and post upnDecorate your hot head when you came in the cruisernAnd paint your rod red in the name of AbunnCHORUSnWhat kinda sucka would I have to benAfter these years of you harassin and attackin menTo run and join your cavalrynImagine me all GI Joed up in Afgahnistan somewherenPrepared to go nutsnYou're clinically crazy if you think you can pay menA figure that can make me slay these innocent babiesnI identify with a slave wishin to break freenHe was victimized by the same system that raped menLook at us poornJust tryin' to get our foot in the doornAnd unfortunately hooked in this warnWe were both coerced to get enlistednBut his was with a trigger mine was livin' conditionsnWe're one in the samenBut in the name of some freedomnI'm supposed to put one in his brain like something will changenWhat freedom? I aint ridin for no presidentnSend the kids to die when we didn't even elect em bitchnnCHORUSnnListen I'm in position to judge a young studnTryin to use the military to come the fuck upnCause self preservation is the first law of naturenPlay your cards smartnRemember what the fucks upnIt's really no different from crack peddlin'nWhen it comes to dyin and killin for a dream you were givennLast thing in your mind is how you're seen by the systemnBe willing to go to those extremes for your visionnShit Im no smarternI know Im fuckin retardednI just know enough to not eat directly where the dog shitsnIf Uncle Sam wants to threaten my healthnTell him he'll have to come get me hisself motherfucka
