[verse 1]Its been a long and whining roadEven though time keeps a changinIma bring it all back homeI been told i spit lyrics wit politicsWhy wouldnt i?Says negro on my birth certificateBorn in 1960 in a nationThroughout / ive been a spokespersonFor a generationWithin the same ol fear of a black planet20 years of blood sweat and no tears for fanaticsSo damn itIf times is hardTime is godUnderstand itNever took time for grantedIts all right maAs child of the sixtiesAll along the watchtowerI cant bet they gonna miss meIm only bleedingEvery grain in meFans if not for youThere be no peFrom the nashville skylineGirls in south countryIn this world gone wrongSo heres another love song[verse 2]We came a long way babyYou know whats amazinThe surprise we told these new guysFlav has always been crazyHit london 87 like it was an invasionToured the world for 3 yearsHell with vacationVocation of vocalizationEspecially with the impact of it takes a nationOf millions to hold us backYou bet theres blood on them bomb squad tracksBlack steel , baseheads, party for your right to fightProphets of rage , bring the noiseDont believe the hypeCant do nuttin for you man911 is a joke20 years we got here by actin like common folkTouring the world like a rolling stoneThen the nineties cameWelcomed yall to the terrordomeSome threw it away , instead of something to sayCause the streets still ended up havin no namesSince rebel without a pause beats were never the sameAnd by 1998 we still had game.[verse 3]Only a pawn in the gameChastised for namin namesWhat was said and who said itAnti nothing so forget itTears of rage left a friendBlowin in the windBut time is godBeen back for 10 years and black againSome of them same catsHelp usher in gangster rapDamn our interviews were better than a lotta them acts.Praised the gangstaJust because it soldWhile consciousnessWent from platinum to goldSeen a nation reduce fight the power to gin and juiceSome people gave it up and turned it loose.[verse 4]Beethoven, bach brahmsI want some james brownEven bruce, brian, bono, beck, yeah chuck berryPrince stevie sly smokey johnny cash in my chevyHeard some call me an uncle tomNow thats pettyI'm a songwriter foolI condense sense from right and wrongLivin in the key of protest songsFrom basement tapesBeyond them dollars and centsChangin of the guards spentWhere the--wentMost of their time out of mindHatin my mess age rhymesCant truss it, shut em down call it whatcha wannaBut they made a day fit for a kingBy the time we got to arizonaTommorrows a long timeWe got god on our sideOver bass and drum beats hear the good rhymes rideA poison goin onShelter from the stormHard rain gonna fallStill the people rock on.
