Grand Puba

Pour it out
How many more gotta die
How many more mothers gotta cry
How many more locked away for life
Just tryin to get a piece of the pie
The struggle continues, we hate each other
And we dont know the reason why, petty shit
Crabs in the back room, holdin each other back
Until the day we die, uh
I been droppin knowledge like this for a long long time
They dont feel me
When I strive to help the dumb deaf fly
Long as Im sittin bullshit is just fine
But when I speak on them, thats when they draw the line
Conspiracy is a theory, lets promote the black-on-black
Niggas dont know how to act
Let em send each other back
Too many shorties dyin everyday
Too many niggas bein locked away
Realize whats really goin on
And how the black community got so torn
How many more mothers gotta mourn
He didnt make eightten and hes livin in the lawn
Somebody tell me whats that all about
Theres too many shorties checkin out
My niggas locked up for a lifetime
Didnt even get a chance to use his lifeline
The game is setup for you to lose
So watch the po-po cause like Tom they cruise
Focus get cha head straight, fix ya plate
Learn from others and dont make the same mistake
Know who you are, where ya at, and where ya goin
The worst thing about life is not knowin
Knowledge break it down its know to ledge
Cause if you dont know the ledge you droppin off edge
The hood drama is horrific
Enough ghetto tears for years that could fill up Pacific
Im not standin here tryin to be no preacher
But each one, teach one, hope I reach ya
See Im here to enter brain then I entertain
Those who lost one in the struggle, I feel ya pain
Cause everyday somebody else is gettin blown
But we dont moan until it hits close to home
Hear me yall cause the numbers seem to multiply
And thats the reason that I ask myself
How many more gotta die
How many more mothers gotta cry
How many more locked away for life
Just tryin to get a piece of the pie
The struggle continues, we hate each other
And we dont know the reason why, petty shit
Crabs in the back room, holdin each other back
Until the day we die, uh
