Make It Better

[Verse 1: ~Stricklin~]
 Ladies and gents, gather around, lets take an intermission*
 The industry is strung out it needs an intervention
 Cam dissin' Jay they cleared Irv Gotti
 Nas signed to Def Jam and Fiddy signin' everybody
 And B.E.T is on some other shit
 They can +Laffy Taffy+ all day but can't play Little Brother shit?
 And if you buyin' it they sellin' it
 No 106 for De La cause they said they not relevant
 And that ain't right
 You either too soft or too thug
 Bottom line?
 I think the game need a group hug
 Need a new Busta tattoo, a new Snoop drug
 A new attitude, called Let-The-Artist-Recoup-Love
 And that won't happen
 And I prolly won't sell
 Cause I don't know Nate Dogg
 And I can't afford Pharrell
 And Paul Wall ain't answer my call or my e-mail
 I'm tryin' to make it better but I fail
 Oh well
 [Chorus:]
 We can make it better, we can make it better if we put our heads together
 We can make it better, we can make it better
 We can make it better, we can make it better if we try to come together
 We can make it better, we can make it better
 [Verse 2: ~Punchline~]
 I be the voice for the hood, straight aggravation
 Need less welfare and more job placements
 Dope chasin'
 The thug life fascinatin'
 Little shorties running wild like imaginations
 Conversation young kids catching cases
 Wrist watches should be the only time that you facin'
 Hood nation
 They sell crack just for some food
 Grew up with rats, I ain't talkin' about Sammy The Bull
 If you got some good lawyer and some bail money
 Then when you see the cop cars use your bail money
 It's not funny
 Swallow pride just to survive
 What we strive
 More baby mamas then wives
 Please get at me
 If you down to break the cycle
 We need to reach out, touch the kids like Michael
 Men rise up, young ladies wise up
 Gotta get together and fight before times up
 [Chorus:]
 We can make it better, we can make it better if we put our heads together
 We can make it better, we can make it better
 We can make it better, we can make it better if we try to come together
 We can make it better, we can make it better
 [Verse 3 ~Wordsworth~]
 Bombs, grenades
 Raided by armed brigades
 Dirt placed on Marine and Army graves
 Thought it would calmly fade
 But in the midst
 Earthquakes victims, hurricanes and tsunami waves
 First they relieve funds
 Country's out of deficit
 The richest nation is poor
 My future ain't definite
 The old with seniority should have doe that's insuring me
 So how the hell we running out of social security?
 [Masta Ace:]
 Cars blowin' up, troops showin' up, flight plans slowin' up
 Price at the gas pump goin up
 Another suicide mission is what he sent us on
 Cause he lied about the plane hitting the Pentagon
 Another soldier in Iraq and he panics
 He's dead on the ground with other blacks and Hispanics
 Dyin' for a country in a world where there's no peace
 Back home his brother got shot by the police
