Текст (слова) песни: Nas - Ghetto Prisoners

 
[Nas] 
Uhh.. regulate nigga 
Bravehearts nigga 
Live for this 
Some of y`all don`t live at all 
Get yours nigga 
Get yours baby 
Uhh, yo.. yo.. 
 
As the night close down on the Earth like gray dark rings 
Light of cities in the nights, destination for Kings 
with big dreams, like Castro, overthrew Bautista 
from Cuba, and pointed nukes toward the U.S. 
About to shoot us for revolution; that`s how you gotta move 
A lot of rules, some locked in solitude 
Curse the day of they birth confused, who`s to be praised? 
The mighty dollar -- or almighty Allah 
I`m like the farmer, plantin words, people are seeds 
My truth is the soil; help you grow like trees 
May the children come in all colors, change like leaves 
but hold before you, one of those, prophetic MC`s 
with blunted flows, seven hundred souls in me 
Each channelin, from past to present times, heaven shines 
light on those, innocent to how the world grows 
Some men become murderers, and some girls become hoes 
And you accounted for, everything that you heard 
Do not speak to fools; they scorn the wisdom of your words 
My heart is wise, bloodshot eyes, the saga never dies 
Ghetto prisoners rise rise rise 
Ghetto prisoners rise rise rise 
Ghetto prisoners rise rise rise 
Ghetto prisoners rise rise rise 
Ghetto prisoners.. 
 
Yo we gotta be God`s children, habitats in tall buildings 
Rats crawl in filthy hallways, incinerators 
Sinners who faithless, still there`s hope, pray it`s answered 
Dreams turned real - what`s a wicked nation? 
One with blind men - not takin charge of the situation 
Empty arguments and real conversations needed 
The world`ll need it, to hear it 
Evil tries to weaken my spirit - it`s chronic herb 
This hurt come from the honest word 
I now try hardest to serve my maker, what I learned 
find it`s way on the paper, so I could dictate it 
Articulate it, luckily - I was put on one of the ships that made it 
through strong currents and winds that left the others stranded 
to sink in the Atlantic 
Satan jigs the planet, not to get too religious, but 
who decides when and if your life is finished? 
If Christ is in this, for the sake of your name, oh Lord 
may we break away from the chains abroad 
 
Ghetto prisoners rise rise rise 
Ghetto prisoners rise rise rise 
Ghetto prisoners rise rise rise 
Ghetto prisoners.. get up, wake up, rise 
Ghetto prisoners rise rise rise 
Ghetto prisoners rise rise rise 
Ghetto prisoners rise rise rise 
Ghetto prisoners.. 
 
You wanna buy time? I`m the seller of minutes 
I give you every second low-priced, if I so lies; the truth is 
Time waits for none of you, in fact 
he can`t wait for the date to snatch the ground right from under you 
Small visions of better life if cheddar was right 
lurk in the mind, of young ones ahead of they time 
Trapped in the slums, beggin for nuttin but takin 
Headed for nuttin but the state pen, where they cousins be waitin 
Judges is not relatin to pleas, guns bustin where the kids play 
Richochet off lamp poles and leave damp holes 
in bystanders, get cancelled, D.O.A. 
Around the way where we from 
Hope the future reduce the rate of those buried young 
Life is every man`s kingdom, a dyin man`s past 
and a newborn`s, first time to be here at last 
And shouldn`t have to grow up fast, and suffer our pain 
Hustlin harder than the generations here before he came 
Goin through the same bullshit as our fathers 
Readin history, but who`s the authors? 
For some the game is easy, for most of us the game is much harder 
But never lose faith; through the years just get smarter 
Ghetto prisoners.. ghetto prisoners.. 
 
Ghetto prisoners rise rise rise 
Ghetto prisoners rise rise rise 
Ghetto prisoners rise rise rise 
Ghetto prisoners.. get up, wake up, rise 
Ghetto prisoners rise rise rise 
Ghetto prisoners rise rise rise 
Ghetto prisoners rise rise rise 
Ghetto prisoners..
