   AhhhhhH!
  Check the crippled man, sittin in the church
  My conscience hurts, flesh like me hits the dirt
  She's paralyzed from her feet to her thighs
  And the man who pulled the trigger didn't even lose his necktie
  Hi/I check Jimmy cuttin hair at the barbershop
  He plays the bass guitar, like David plays the harp
  His knowledge name is Greek, cause whenever he speaks
  He's got the wisdom of King Solomon bags in his eyes from no sleep
  Sometimes he thought of the fame in Madison Square Garden
  So some seek stardom, but they forget Harlem
  But seeking first of all the kingdom of God is what my pops told me
  So if I fall, could the choir catch me
  I flew away, on a mountain, got tempted by Satan
  Got bitten by a cobra, but the Lord took my venom
  So who's side am I on? I'm on the righteous
  Always check the lyrics, no time to contradict
  
  Chorus:
  
  Some seek stardom, then they forget Harlem (3X)
  They/brothers/sisters/families/people/we/brothers
  keep their pockets full, but their souls run empty
  
  Well aiyyo family I beseech you, in the hopes that I may reach you
  My mother taught me one day that this mid-day would come someday
  Born to talk that jive, with peaky hair grown wild
  And teachers disliked me, cause I knew where my culture be
  So now yeah mom I read history, I can't neglect my passion see
  Rock it's kind of new to me, cause my true love was poetry
  White was good and bad was black but black was just a massa lackey
  built for that B. Nimble Jack and I'd like to save you from the wicked
  D-Dog clear I wouldn't be wet
  The black to mourn, tomorrow's death
  The evil things, glad that I, while angels wrote this violence why?
  Help me make me comprehend my black bezerk and why cast it
  Time to blaze the angels nappy heads are braided that you make me
  see what's hard for me that don't make you flee
  when I enter your vicinity, you see my God ain't never after me
  So yo I be wised up with Greek
  To go and be, the last and good and see what's wrong with me
  and through your insecurity of me and my ability
  So bredren won't you let me be or has thou asked to much from thy
  to tell the truth and not to lie? Oh my...
  
  Chorus 2X
  
  But as I grew, I knew cause the master told me
  from a baby to a woman from a woman to a baby
  Life is so short, hardcore becomes hard-corpse
  Step in a coffin where the money's no longer the source
  *singing*
  There we go, there we go, there we go
  I got mine now won't you get yours, we never open doors
  so we neglect, and don't protect the ones that's not
  people never really seem to care
  And then they cry out, "My people! Why aren't we treated equal?"
  As we flee, we flee our own communities
  We leave our family in poverty
  And then we blame it on another, so family please recover
  Oh c'mon please come now with you can come with me now and blow now
  if you want to, we're through...
  
  Chorus 4X
