lyrics

lyrics, from 1992 Tupac interview (source, internet archive):

This world is such a, and when I say this world I mean it, I don’t mean it in an ideal sense I mean in everyday, every little thing you do it’s such a, “gimmie, gimmie, gimmie” everybody back off you know? everybody is like to be taught that from school, everywhere, big business. If you wanna be successful? You wanna be like Trump? Gimme, gimmie, gimmie, push, push, push, push, step, step, step, crush, crush, crush. that’s how it all is and it’s like nobody ever stops and you know I feel like instead of us just being like “slavery’s bad, slavery’s bad, bad whitey, bad whitey,” I mean aight let’s stop that everybody is smart enough to know that we’ve been slighted and we want ours. And I don’t mean by like ours 40 acres and mule because we’re past that, but we need help for us to be on our own two feet. Us meaning youth or us meaning Black people, whatever you wanna take it for, for us to be on our own two feet we do need help because we have been here and we have been a good friend if you wanna make it a relationship type thing. We have been there and now we deserve our payback.

There’s no way that these people should own planes and there are people who don’t have houses, apartments, shacks, drawers, pants.
Huh, you know what I’m saying, but I’m saying it’s a struggle and I think everybody deserve, and I think there is a way to pay these people, I think there is a way, it just takes to be revolutionary and it takes to do something out of the ordinary, you know what I’m saying? Like I think that if we just said, okay, okay, I got an idea. No more porno buildings you know what I’m saying let’s build houses or No more polo games let’s build houses for poor people you know what I’m saying? Or look okay I know you rich, I know you got 40 billion dollars but can you just keep it to one house? You only need one house and if you only got two kids can you keep it to two rooms? I mean why have 52 rooms when you know there’s someone with no room?
