about

NAS IS MY FAVORITE RAPPER BY THE WAY…. FOR SOME REASON THIS HAD THAT DR. DRE TYPE FEEL. I JUST WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW HOW I FEEL ABOUT THE EVENTS THAT HAVE BEEN GOING ON IN OUR COUNTRY. I DON'T HAVE A BIAS OPINION ABOUT ANY STANDPOINT, I JUST TAKE NOTE ON WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON. WE NEED TO STOP BLAMING EACH OTHER FOR OUR COUNTRY'S PROBLEMS. HOPEFULLY, THIS WILL TOUCH SOMEONE. THIS IS THAT FOOD FOR THOUGHT MUSIC. IF I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE IN 2016, I HAVE MY VOICE!!!!!!!!!!!! I CANNOT PUT A PRICE ON THE WAY THIS SONG MAKES ME FEEL.

lyrics

The Problem

Chorus 2x:
Ya'll don't wanna know the problem
Everybody wanna blame Obama
All this killing and this robbing
There's somebody waking up starving,
Which side are you on?

Verse#1
I never turned my back on Obama
America don't wanna know the problem
I grew up with some killers and some robbers
And on my album I was keeping sh*t modest
See we ain't got time to sit and contemplate
Sh*t, I fractured my heel was trying hop the gate
They tell us don't riot, pull our pants up
We scream don't shoot, but we in handcuffs
I never stood down, my niggas stand up
And For that Red, White, & Blue you better man up
I try to have Faith like Biggie's son
When that shotgun Blast, I seen Ricky Run
The media be reaching, that's what ya'll say
So if she's light skinned and thick, is she Beyoncé?
I feel like Nas, Common or Andre...
3 Stacks, never spending that on Balmain
And F*ck what ya'll think, these niggas lost mane
You think you earn more power for what it cost mane?
Niggas starving, so they trying to find their next lick
Bring this movie to your couch like Netflix
Down in Texas, they patrolling the boarder
The same thing they do here, they do out in California...
It's no order, no honor, no justice
See the problem is us, man f*ck this.:.

Chorus 2x:
Ya'll don't wanna know the problem
Everybody wanna blame Obama
All this killing and this robbing
There's somebody waking up starving,
Which side are you on?

Verse#2
I can't imagine me ever voting Republican
They say I'm smart but I'm cooling out with the thugs again
No love for them, trying to classify me
Just trying to move these Beats like Jimmy Iovine
Menace II Society, was more like Kane
Graduated on time so my parents never complained
See it's all about change, I do it for it Jace and James
Flying on planes, videos in different states wait...
You can't relate, I came from humbled beginnings
They love to see you lose now their quiet because I'm winning...
I always mention all the times I ever fell short
Ya'll only talk about the good, what you scared for
See I'm prepared for all the things they try to kill us for
Trayvon, Mike and Freddie should I mention more
We put attention on everything but the good sh*t
And Worldstar only post it, if it's hood sh*t
See I ain't hood rich, I'm looking some Common Wealth
Instead of the pointing your finger
