lyrics

Old enough
Bold enough
Man up woman up
Think you had enough?
What you know about
Whatever you know about
Question is
Can you get it out?
Spoke
Stay woke
Gun culture silenced
Stop the violence
Made the brilliant silent
World ain't gonna fix itself
World ain't gonna change itself
Run your mouth
Don't be dumb
But bump them gums
I know the insecure
Be sure that their adversaries
End up shootin them guns
Dumbshit rises to the top
Ain't got shit to say
Shut the words
Make action stop
Diction avoids friction
Speak and aim
Ain't playin
Make it plain
Express yourself
stand up to the game
Stupid being fraid of the egg you laid
Talk it over...

Dumbsht
Who can't talk
Need a gun
Because the brain cant
Change the terrain
Trained
By a government chain
Makin it rain in a club
That goes without sayin
Devil don't want change
You old enough to shave
You old enough to save
Speakeasy
Talking something
Say it loud
Malcolm, Garvey
Sonia Sanchez proud
Sister Souljah, Jesse, Al, Huey
Orator heard
Hiphop got the culture
Rap is the words
Have the blind
Lovin some dumb aimed and directed death
And end up callin it def
Feds protect
Black crime from the threat
Of community
Keepin truth from youth
To have them shootin me
And each other
Sister and brother
Locking the rest up in them
Federal ovens
Talk it over...
