What's It All About

Lyrics

I would like to throw "Rock Box" in the start of this one
 Here we go again
 "What's it all about?"
 "What's it all about?"
 "What's it all about?"
 "What's it all about?"
 Livin in the city, the crack the mack and all that
 Easy does it, is it was it
 The black or white that Friday night
 In those racist places, let's get it right
 Ah to the maximum, and keep askin 'um
 When the city gonna fix where the BLACKS are from
 And every day around the way another one got
 Bucked in his head, from a gunshot
 No chance in advance for the ambulance
 Cause he was just another victim of the circumstance
 A brother died, the mother cried, it was a pity
 But that's how it goes down when you're livin in the city
 "What's it all about?"
 "What's it all about?"
 Just a hard rock, call him a hard rock
 In the metropolis there's no stoppin this
 Can't agree with society poppin this
 Disagree with the plea when they coppin it
 Some men pretend the end will come soon
 They gather what they can and them boom
 You played yourself, you made your wealth
 The deal was dealt - now your health is in question
 Three card Molly, hoodlums, who are we?
 Pollution, prostitution, In God we
 - Need a solution, revolution, substitution
 For the thing's that we're abusing
 Pity the city, for the people livin out on the streets
 Yo we homeless, the homeless need to eat
 There's no progress for the rest
 God bless for less
 "What's it all about?"
 "What's it all about?"
 What it is?
 What's it all about?
 Whassup G?
 What it be?
 How you livin homeless probably
 Mandela's free
 And they're rollin with D
 In history you cannot see em like they cannot see me
 The Berlin Wall
 It all had to fall
 They said no but
 "Yo, Yes y'all!"
 The people that spoke were never provoked
 And now it's tumblin down
 Freedom of speech for each
 Now how that sound?
 Try to stop me from sayin what I want to say
 My funky rhyme I never quit until the break of day
 Now here we go, as I flow and show and kick
 Infor-mation, teach and? reach inside the nation
 And be a seer cause I'm reason with Run
 And now that the point is out
 Let the jam slam my man and tell me
 What's it all about?
 "What's it all about?"
 "What's it all about?"
 I flex my muscle, what I must do
 Is bumrush you, fuck you, I'll crush you
 The Ku Klux Klan is fucked up
 And every good man'll understand
 Beginnin and winnin, from the first fuckin vocal
 I spoke to you, I ain't no joke to you
 I do what I want to do
 If you don't like what me and my crew is doin then fuck you
 What I do and what I done with Jay and Run
 None could ever become, to sum it up bum
 Get off my dick and out my kingdom
 Yo, yo D tell em where you're from
 Straight from Hollis, Queens
 I'm still eatin collard greens and I'm doin the same things
 I ain't never goin out suckers
 Punk motherfuckers
 What's it all about?
