[01:40.359] Man to the man, each one, so I teach one
[01:42.961] Born to terrorize sisters and every brother
[01:45.111] One love who said it, I know Whodini sang it
[01:47.548] But the hater taught hate that's why we gang bang it

[02:24.953] Years ago he woulda been the ship's captain
[02:27.173] Gettin' me bruised on a cruise, what I got to lose
[02:29.897] Lost all contact, got me layin' on my back
[02:32.268] Ugh, rollin' in my own leftover
[02:34.227] When I roll over, I roll over in somebody else
[02:37.047] 90 damn days on a slave ship
[02:39.059] Count them fallin' off 1, 2, 3, 4 hundred at a time
[02:41.731] Blood in the wood and it's mine
[02:43.635] I'm chokin' on, spit, feelin' pain
[02:45.217] Like my brain bein' chained
[02:46.493] Still gotta give it what I got
[02:48.245] But it's hot in the day, it's cold in the night
[02:50.636] But I thrive to survive, I pray to god to stay alive
[02:53.786] Attitude boils up inside
[02:55.419] And that ain't it, you think I ever quit
[02:57.638] Still I plan to get my hands around the neck of the man with the whip
[03:00.605] 3 months passed, they brand a label on my ass

[03:18.940] 427 to the year, do you understand
[03:21.570] That's why it's hard for the black to love the land
[03:23.828] Once again, bass in your face, not an eight track
[03:26.382] Gettin' it good to the wood
[03:27.570] So the people give you some of that reactin' to the facts
[03:30.064] That I kick and it stick and it stay around
[03:32.185] Pointin' to the joint, put the Buddha down
