La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la

That's that crack music ni**a

That real black music ni**a

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la

How we stop the black panthers

Ronald Reagan cooked up an answer

You hear that

What Gil Scott was hearin

When our heroes and heroines

Got hooked on h****n

Crack raised the murder rate in DC and Maryland

We invested in that it's like we got Merril-Lynch

And we been hangin from the same tree ever since

Sometimes I feel the music is the only medicine

So we cook it cut it measure it bag it sell it

The fiends cop it

Nowadays they can't tell if that's that good sh*t

We ain't sure man

Put the CD on your toungue yeah

Thats pure man

From the place where the fathers gone

The mothers is hardly home

And the

Gonna lock us up in a home

How the Mexicans say

We just tryin to party homes

They wanna pack us all in a box like styrofoam

Who gave Saddam anthrax

George Bush got the answers

Back in the hood it's a different type of chemical

Am and Hammer baking soda

Raised they own quota

Writin when our soldiers ran for the stove cuz--

Cuz dreams of being

'Hova went from bein

A brokeman ta bein a dopeman

Ta bein a president look theres hope man

This that inspiration for tha mos and tha folks man

Shorty come and see if mama

Straight overdosin

And this is the soundtrack

This tha type of music you

Make when you round that--

Crack music ni**a

That real black music ni**a

That's that crack music ni**a

That real black music ni**a

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la

God-how could you let this happen

Happen happen happen happen happen

La-la-la
