Crackhouse

Crack MC:

They say they can't convict

though they're known to be strict

mistook my people for the ones to be hit

startin' crimes of passion

flames and ash and murder passing hand to hand

car to car they done gone too far

stop where you are the cops are at war

with the B to the L to the A to the C to the K

we ain't selling no rocks today

I'm breaking glass for the black man's plight

gonna burn and loot as proof to the whites

they can't take advantage

we can do damage

thought they could manage our sense of the real

so now the King was the god damned defendant

cops with the Klan bent were just in their bust

they can beat you to the fullest extent of the lengths of their clubs

peace and love in god we trust

don't fuss with the negro pros at dissecting the plotting

that many years ago made ****** pick cotton

and shamed us aimed us out of our orbit

but never explored it to sue the red, white and blue

Voluntary manslaughter killed the father raped the daughter

bust this to the youth and trust this to be truth

we're choking on a culture that circles like vultures

putting slaves in their graves as unemployed leftovers

yeah gangs have sprung from the work that you

who worship the cursed red, white and blue

have done to the kid in your bid to get ahead

now rocks gonna roll for green black and red

riot they gon' buy it

now this black generation done been to patient

Thelma and Louise this whole damn nation and let's just all act up

they used logic for the projects like they housing cattle

Bush's point of light done ignited my battle

'cause my people getting burned

and there's nowhere to turn

there's a gun to your head, G,

when do you learn?

Riot

Bring 'em to the Crackhouse

Let's have a riot

Welcome to the Crackhouse

Twelve years of Bush and Reagan

No opportunity cuts and social spending

Poverty line poor and homeless sinking

Calling out the army and blaming the victim

Every inner city's a crack-house

And every American TV's on you bet it's a blackout

No health care, jobs or housing visualize plebiscide 2000

There's no logic reason or rhyme

Just black on black on brown on yellow crime

Aids in the house you can't escape

With no condoms for kids no *** education

Government withhold potential drugs

So you drive to the crack-house and buy it from street thugs

No hope for the hopeless, no power for the powerless,

Total confusion look at life through an hourglass

Violence is never an answer it's a question,

What does it take to get media attention

Are people really ready for truth

Now that the chickens have all come home to roost

And the leadership patience and quiet

But it's too late for empty rhetoric it's a riot

Welcome to the Crackhouse

This is a riot

We need crack in L.A. (the land?)

Crack MC:

I'm sorry Rodney, but I just can't stop.

I'm the C to the R to the A to the C to the K

Double up raps is haps I say

Spray the whole damn block my rock is dominating

Got a base head lock on this spaced out nation

Project glass pipe's been the best thing tried

Got us tight boxed in rollers on all sides

Feeding black paranoia that can throw you around a bit

USA can't say they ain't down with it

Leading the attack of the killer Caucasians

Now they trying to persuade us sweep it under the rug

Getting action from Jesse Jackson 'bout being upset

But bet he ain't living on drugs

He's just simping 'cause he pimping as a politician

Shooting off his mouth but the fire is missing

'Cause he's turning his back on the blacks going crazy

Telling us to vote that's a quote like we're lazy

Instead of oppressed by a stressed population

That maimed and then blamed blacks with no reparations

Got no education thought the nation was dumb

Kept us poor and ignored till we pick up a gun

And defend our lives like the men so wise that

We are band together as a gang and then swang

Do your thang in the middle of the night

While I try to teach the devil about wrong and right

'Cause it's beyond his comprehension

So some schooling's attempted

The usual lies that you hear are preempted

Been shot in the back for the fact that they're whack

Believe not a word that you've heard about that

'Cause crack is being sold like candy

Better go call up Barney and Andy

Tell them that Mayberry's under siege

CRACK MC done hooked Opie!

riot
