GWe gotta start makin’ cDhanges.
Learn to seCe me as a brother ‘stead of 2 distant strangers.
AmAnd that’s how it’s supEmposed to be.
How can the DDevil take a brother if he’s Cclose to me?

D‘Cause both black and whitCe are smokin’ crack tonight.
GAnd only time we Dchill is when we kill each other.
CIt takes skill to be real, time to heal each other.
AmAnd although it seems Emheaven sent,
we ain’t Dready to see a black CPresident, uhh.
GIt ain’t a secret don’t Dconceal the fact…
the Cpenitentiary’s packed, and it’s filled with blacks.

what we gotta do, to survive.
