| We’re getting ready to have a live session
|
| Now, what we was trying to say
|
| When you have real change, everybody’s thing begin to change
|
| Teacher begins to teach a new lesson
|
| Preacher begins to preach a new sermon
|
| And the musician also tries to capture the new thing so that we might have
|
| melody and have rhythm as we do our thing
|
| Oh, it’s been such a long, long time
|
| Yes, it’s been such a long, long time
|
| Oh, it’s been such a long, long time
|
| Yes, it’s been such a long, long time
|
| Now the world is—
|
| 25 years in the making
|
| Before conversations with Elohim and Satan
|
| «Nature of The Threat» still more relevant than ever
|
| Hate crimes multiplied, Christians in red hats
|
| «Zero tolerance», Jesus never said that
|
| Jésus got deported though, another orphan in the barrio
|
| Time to strap up like a sicario
|
| I was hypnotized by the audio
|
| Now the boys dance like strippers
|
| Wear stretchy jeans, fake pockets and mad zippers
|
| Trust fund babies dress poor and claim hipster
|
| Gentrified the hood but will still call you a nigga
|
| The weed legal, but the police will still kill
|
| These bitches ass fake, but the pussy still real
|
| Hottest rappers can’t rap, they just Milli Vanilli
|
| Philly freed Meek Milly, the jury killed Billy
|
| Cosby, I’ll prolly be underrated for life
|
| Fake my own death, go triple Platinum overnight
|
| Then re-emerge in Costa Rica with 2Pac
|
| Like «Who Shot Ya», guess who it’s not
|
| It’s been such a long, long time
|
| Yes, it’s been such a long, long time
|
| Oh, it’s been such a long, long time
|
| Yes, it’s been such a long, long time
|
| Now the world is—
|
| Since last time you paid attention, I lost some friends
|
| Well, hell, me and Xzibit, we kick it again
|
| But most them so-called friends is gone
|
| Turned into the same fuckboy he hated when we was tryna get on
|
| I guess hurt people hurt people
|
| Never-ending cycle with a fucked up sequel
|
| The internet beat major labels then Zuckerberg sold ads
|
| And labels spent millions, so independents finished last (Again)
|
| Pay the publicist who add you to the playlist
|
| YouTube, Spotify, it’s still pay to play, bitch (Facts)
|
| These crackers brought back Reaganomics, the '80s
|
| The war on crime and incarceration for profit
|
| Got self-destructive, they locked up my ass
|
| Thank God Chino XL and Vinny Paz said «Free Ras Kass»
|
| Arabs got banned, Black men got shot
|
| Asian girls running around sucking any and every white boys cock
|
| Like it’s the new Colonialism
|
| The devil conquered by creating division
|
| Historical revision purposely
|
| The verse will be mercury, my silver anniversary
|
| Oh, it’s been such a long, long time
|
| Yes, it’s been such a long, long time
|
| Oh, it’s been such a long, long time
|
| Yes, it’s been such a long, long time
|
| Now the world is— |
