Ache'n 4 acres plenty of acres money spent in rent ain't earning me cent. Ain't gettin no caddy, no Benz, no jeep. until I got some $ for some land to keep no more children crying instead they'll be running running free and wild in the heat of the sun. 'cause once I'm gone I wanna feel strong that my children will go on, family land and all sayin' I got some land to stand on no more ache'n 4 acres no beggin for leftovers got some space of my own I got grounds to raise on no more ache'n 4 acres no more giving to takers got some land to leave on! No more elders passin' without my kids askin' papa who's tombstones are those in the yard Family gotta stay close all of us gotta stay close Ache'n 4 acres 4 buildin' a nation. Ain't about depending on government spendin' especially when the government's got a plan of their own separate from me-separate from U separate from most-in sync with a few. Ache'n 4 acres plenty of acres my grandpappa had em all but he lost em & he sold em the cities were a growin' and grandpa's getting older little did he know that his land was valuable Got land to stand on then U can stand up! stand up for your rights as a woman, as a man man O' man my choices expand Ain't got me no money but I got me some land |

Lately I've been in a life like limbo
Looking out of a smudged up window We're not sure where our lives are going Friends, it's summer outside but yet we're snowed in Don't know where our next dollar's coming from Living the life of a poor musician Headliner's strong so he keeps his 9 to 5 Cutting brothers' hair as a means of staying alive If it wasn't for the rhythm I think we would have given up by now This system has gotten the best of me Now I pray for God to invest in me My dignity, invest his glory Give me the strength so I can finnish the story Keep on searching for the right way to go out coz going out is what it's all about huh! You can't be passive, gotta be active Can't go with what looks attractive Gotta learn all I can while I'm able Headliner expresses his feeling on those turntables When we get our chance to make a good living of the music we program We don't sell out just to be sold out Brothers and sisters, do you know what I'm yapping about ? Coz if they take away our contract we still got talent and we still got contacts Coz we're worked real hard to get this far We're catching the bus before we bought the car Ya see ! *[Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day Teach him how to fish and he'll eat forever] (2x) Got to get political Political I gotta get Grown but can't hold my own So this government needs to be overthrown Brothers with the AKs and the 9 MMs need to learn how to correctly shoot'em Save those rounds for a revolution Poor whites and blacks bumrushing the system But I tell you: Ain't no room for gangstaz Coz ganstaz do dirty work and get pimped by mobsters Some fat Italian eating pasta 'n lobster Brothers getting jailed and mobsters own the coppers so you you want out of the ghetto First the political prisoners must be let go And you must let go of your power master You'll never get out without much discipline Raise your fist but also raise your children So when you die the movement moves on Coz with revolution, ain't no future in front o' y'all haha! Direct your anger, love Nothing's ever built on hate, instead love Love your life, tackle the government The spooks that break down the door are heaven sent and my phrase went... *Repeat (2x) Alright ! Rhythm makes you move your body, rhythm makes you move your mind Rhythm makes your elbows groove, rhythm makes that behind move Rhythm makes the people move, rhythm makes you want to move Rhythm makes your mind soothe, next stop is Jerusalem |

Here, have a dollar,
in fact no brotherman here, have two Two dollars means a snack for me, but it means a big deal to you Be strong, serve God only, know that if you do, beautiful heaven awaits That's the poem I wrote for the first time I saw a man with no clothes, no money, no plate Mr.Wendal, that's his name, no one ever knew his name cause he's a no-one Never thought twice about spending on a ol' bum, until I had the chance to really get to know one Now that I know him, to give him money isn't charity He gives me some knowledge, I buy him some shoes And to think blacks spend all that money on big colleges, still most of y'all come out confused Go ahead, Mr.Wendal (2x) Mr.Wendal has freedom, a free that you and I think is dumb Free to be without the worries of a quick to diss society for Mr.Wendal's a bum His only worries are sickness and an occasional harassment by the police and their chase Uncivilized we call him, but I just saw him eat off the food we waste Civilization, are we really civilized, yes or no ? Who are we to judge ? When thousands of innocent men could be brutally enslaved and killed over a racist grudge Mr.Wendal has tried to warn us about our ways but we don't hear him talk Is it his fault when we've gone too far, and we got too far, cause on him we walk Mr.Wendal, a man, a human in flesh, but not by law I feed you dignity to stand with pride, realize that all in all you stand tall Mr.Wendal, yeah yeah yeah, Lord, Mr.Wendal |

Since the last time, since the last time
It's been two years since we rock stages together We covered bases together and whether we all agreed or not 20/20 vision is hindsight and now we got that so we done got back Some of our soldiers have fallen, so many years of toiling Touring, tears falling, naw pouring jaded from the industries Jabs a lil' slower like Muhammad Ali but still we able to last So we go in the studio, it felt new but yet in a good way It felt old routines, we did came back so lucid, we was boosted We juiced it and came up with some tracks that's stupid And people responded to 'em, heads on the blocks With locks and baggie jeans, the whole scene was fond to 'em And how we got the labels kissing our hind parts We desired art and never sold out for the high chart positions I have been a thousand places Seen a million faces since the last time (Since the last time) I have been a thousand places Seen a million faces since the last time (Since the last time) Many rap groups attempt to latch to the popular cultures statutes And thus they detach their roots from the soil that kept them loose And made what they delivered so true There's a desert waste land of past artists that's so cruel Feeling thrown out like woody in toy story two And yo we felt that but let me tell you Satan, he dealt that I think it's time to give him his deck back, c'mon now I have been a thousand places Seen a million faces since the last time (Since the last time) I have been a thousand places Seen a million faces since the last time (Since the last time) Since the last time |

And I know that I need to change my ways of living (How far is heaven) From church to Liquor store we search for healing Big crowded world filled with lonely humans I’m a M.C. battling with melody envy Cuz melodies the only thing that seems to sooth me So we rock organs adjust the B-3’s Have the folks clap to the rap taking it Back to the color - purple - church Where ladies shouting’ joy in the midst of hurt! Revolutionaries have a curled fist at first Then years pass and it turns to a clasp They ask in the midst of all God show me ways to resist the fall! Yes yes yawl Pressure pressure the whole under Can't stop the crime can't stop the killing Watch dem life dem ah keep going under Somebody lend ah hand we hafta save dem Roots and culture We have to teach dem Cause it ah the root of dem life Bigger bigger blessings they hope they receive them Pray for them every night I gotta change my ways I need you every day Don't wanna make no excuses My life is so confusing Way down deep inside I wanna tell ya what's on my mind so sick of tryin I'm dyin My heart hurts so I can't keep from cryin |

Yo
What can happen on an average beautiful day? You never know. Summer brings seasonal changes; it gets hot for a brother. On a beautiful sun- shiny day, I felt real free check out what happened to me. A nice breeze going through my hair, I’m loving how it feels right now! Beautiful people around: man, women, child. Kids with the Hula hoops hips going round. Mothers breast-feeding, kids lips pressing down. Beautiful-ist women: white, yellow, red, black, brown and dreads. Melting pot going down! Definitely an aphrodisiac crowd. And it’s time for me to go on stage right now! I take command of the mic like POW! Six o’clock white woman in the 6th aisle. She and her friend be smiling at me so wild, and I must admit she has a beautiful smile! I’m loving the sunshine, can’t help the way I feel, in the sunshine Folks to the right won’t ya raise ya hands and the folks to ya left won’t ya raise ya hands. From the front to the back won’t ya raise ya hands everybody in the joint won’t ya raise ya hands. After the show there was an autograph signing and she squeezed back stage and got in line and…I was wrapped up with the fans Sharpie in my hand, there she goes again, beautiful smile long hair, brushed across my hand like silk I swear, no lie. This is not me trying to deny who I am nor my race, I know my black sisters are constantly debased, and the truth is black berries are my taste but I’m high off possibilities of this thing blossoming so I just give it a try. As she handed her num… I felt a little numb inside of my mind feeling like I just betrayed all of my kind. But without no delay, without more to say, without no consideration for my race she said,”yo why don’t you come to my place”. I said, “right away” I’m loving the sunshine, can’t help the way I feel, in the sunshine. Many would have me say that this girl was evil. We both human beings and I know we equal, but we hung out and talked and we walked and things. And some brothers gave me stares I said that ain’t fair we two humans beings here. And I ain’t confused, I know my history’s clear, the sunshine’s beaming on both kinds of hair. Wisdom speaking loud, some folks don’t want to hear.There’s nothing new under the sun, many things that was had to succumb to the rhythm of the drum cuz we’re children of the son. And only he’s seen what has been seen since the beginning of day one. And the truth is this story is more of a lesson. I’m actually married to a sister that’s a black one. But under the sun what ever color your attracting, just remember loves and action word and character is more so what we should prefer. I’m loving the sunshine, can’t help the way I feel, in the sunshine |

I stand for children innocence in they eyes playing under blue skies trying out fake cries to see dey mamma sympathize wanting dey new toys thinking it a bring em joy thinking mom and dad are wack but later on they realize
Children playing in the dirt getting wet in the rain, falling till they learn that part of life is pain crawling till they learn that walking is another thing and running can come only when walking is no type of strain I stand for beauty earth sky woman man or other worldly things like birth strife and death again and things that we cant touch like love faith and sacrifice things that we like much like good food and moon light cloud formations clear blue skies four season leaves and the colors that stop by great songs great art great books and stories unrecognized underdogs that later gain glory The things that I stand for tell who I am The things that I stand for tell who I am The things that I stand for tell who I am The things that I stand for tell who I am I stand for truth political or spiritual and I know the truth can hurt but I’d rather hear it though whether truth about the past present future or all I know the man who hates truth is the man who will fall, I know that every single issue boils down to sin and the only way to kill sin is from within and the man who points his finger at everyone else has got 4 other finger pointed back to himself and that people don’t change cuz of words alone yet a nation can moved by one person whose strong and truth can be buried for moments of time but like the last day buried things are bound to rise… The things that I stand for tell who I am The things that I stand for tell who I am The things that I stand for tell who I am The things that I stand for tell who I am As I stand, so I rise Lift my tears up to the sky I stand for something or everything I fall for even when I’m wrong yo you know my views we choose most of our paths and that’s just the truth even if most of our ways lead to further blues and sometimes I stand for nothing I just sit and listen cuz no matter how much I got there’s things I’m missing so when its all done and said I stand for this, when its all done and said I stand for this, when its all done and said I stand for this Children beauty truth and something that stirs my insides inspires my very life cuz bottom line for everyone is you stand or sit, you stand or sit, you stand or sit, you stand or sit As I stand, so I rise Lift my tears up to the sky The things that I stand for tell who I am The things that I stand for tell who I am The things that I stand for tell who I am The things that I stand for tell who I am |

(I wouldn’t trade what I get from my kids, the feeling of security that they get from me. Knowing that my life is making a difference in their life, knowing that they need me, I wouldn’t trade that for nothing)
Living Life-Life is love (Nobody believes me anyway) Love of woman or man The love of taking a stand of trust. You bust your butt on single scenes for what? If not to find love. You know it’s love or lack of love that causes gangs or causes thugs. Mothers & sons, fathers and daughters all are in need of someone. And at the time that we don’t find it, we design a plan…we search the land for woman or man to give what we need in order to live! We get hurt and break our spirits & our hearts. We start to fear it… we get further and further growing harder and harder… some even say why bother! Living Life-Life is love (Nobody believes me anyway) Every single person ought to have a daughter or a son Someone to love above themselves to help you grasp the depths of love It’s radical! It’s tragic though how people underestimate the greatness and relentless, miraculous stakes of love. I’m serious we see terrorist hardened to the core willing to kill mame or hurt just so they can be heard! They’ll kill women or children, we’re quick to say that they’re villains but every bodies got feelings, the things that they’ve been just dealing with! Living Life-Life is love (Nobody believes me anyway) The heart of a man is complex, who can understand it Next, we taking love for granted, never the way the Father planned it A seed was planted in the children, love your daddies and you mothers Brothers love your sisters, all of my sisters love your brothers Because we are getting older, we got the weight of the world on our shoulders But hold your head up soldier, although I know your heart is growing colder Similar to polar, love your family tipsy or sober Magnolia resist the coke, and I'm not referring to cola Because we fall in and out of love, shout love, doubt love Husband or wife and now your whole life is about love Too much or not enough love leads to rough love Tough love, some overstand but handcuff love A different race, dogs on the chase like who's next love A different game, no one's ashamed of same sex love Those loving respect, ought to try to respect love It's One Love, I'm living to protect love But.... (Nobody believes me anyway) |

A.D. in this thang, man we go against the grain It's a shame how the lame, done infiltrated the game I'm for real, we got our own slang in the field To identify the Jake from the fake and the real For ever I love Atlanta, it's hotter than country grammar Got old folks wearing white T's and bandannas So if our style jumps off the track Pick it up, Pick it up, Pick it up Back on the scene, the projects apartment 74 First door on the left, man second floor See, I never had a crib just a dresser drawer Never stressing Big O she let her little professor grow Hear the sounds from the corner like a serenade Where the girls ball hogging like Dewayne Wade So I moved to Westwood, man the best hood Learned the game how not to be lame and how to dress good You can find nines, dimes and stallions Club full of freaks in Jesus piece medallions I got the key to the city like I'm P. Diddy Inner City, my city we keep it real gritty Like throw backs, fitted hats, gold chain, gold teeth Drug dealers and killers, they all about the rap beef No curfew, these young boys will hurt you It's very obvious that there's more to do in the Inner City |
