Black & Brown - Xzibit
Wassup
We need to talk
Let me light my backport
That's why we need to sit down
And talk about the black and the brown
Yo I love Los Angeles you can hear it in my music
Plus I got the scars to prove it
And man you don't understand what I understand
I'm feelin' like a piece to a bigger plan
'Cause all I'm sayin' is the God honest truth of it all
We fightin' the wrong enemy
That's why I'm getting invovled
It's just like the end of that movie saw
When them two chained up guys met with their demise
And the mastermind was layin' there the whole time
Remember that that's why we have to sit down
And speak about the black and the brown
Now I didn't come here to point no fingers
I know over the years that the pain
Still lingers over past confrontations
Sh*t we all on parole and probation and f**ked up situations
And everybody lose from the pen
To the neighborhoods now it's even the high schools
'Cause I was watchin' k cal news
When the students squared off and one kid wouldn't choose sides
Hit with a hammer and the kid died
And now it's a full blown riot
Tck that's when the fists start flyin'
These kids ain't learnin' sh*t about math and science
Man
Tension is so thick some are comin' around
I don't wanna see no more of us up under the ground
So now that's why we need to sit down
And talk about the black and the brown
Eighty percent of inmates are black and Hispanic
They tryna wipe us all off the face of this planet
Dammit that's why we need to sit down
And talk about the black and the brown
Yo I got the homey Jose from way back in the day
He came to scoop me up in his all white six trey
And he don't really f**k with nobody outside of the set
It's tatted big on his neck
Y'know So over the years built respect and trust
Some black and brown issues we both discussed
He said homes it's been goin' down too long
I gotta bang on them fools and it don't feel wrong
They killed my cousin over eighty eight bricks
So word came down we gotta handle that sh*t
Kill all mayatas in white tee shirts
Can I tell the truth homes the truth starts hurtin'
At first I remind him of what vengeance do
What vengeance is and who vengeance belongs to
He wasn't tryna hear that sh*t
He just turned up the volume bangin' 50 cent
Tension is so thick some are comin' around
I don't wanna see no more of us up under the ground
So now that's why we need to sit down
And talk about the black and the brown
Eighty percent of inmates are black and hispanic
They tryna wipe us all off the face of this planet
Dammit that's why we need to sit down
And talk about the black and the brown
I got soldiers from both sides who really don't care
Who identify themselves by the colors they wear
The homey came through to put one in the air
I can tell somethin' was wrong the way
He sat in his chair
He said X man I'm just gettin' out
From doing eighty eight months tryna figure things out
He told me in the pen you get down to get done
'Cause the brown and black ratio is five to one
He showed me the scar on his gut and his neck
They got him good said he d**n near bled to death
The hate was do deep I can see in his eyes
When he described what it feels like to almost die
All I could do was just sit back and listen
'Bout how he 'bout to send soldiers on missions
I got hit with a bottle but I'm not dead
I said think with your heart homey not your head
I said
Tension is so thick some are comin' around
I don't wanna see no more of us up under the ground
So now that's why we need to sit down
And talk about the black and the brown
Eighty percent of inmates are black and hispanic
They tryna wipe us all off the face of this planet
Dammit that's why we need to sit down
And talk about the black and the brown
Oooooh you must defend yourself yeah
If you don't then no one else nobody
Your homies got to ride
Let's go
You're fighting for your life
Yeah
They want both of us dead
You ain't heard a word I said
You're fighting for your life
Come on
Your homies got to riiide
Tension is so thick some are comin' around
I don't wanna see no more of us up under the ground
So now that's why we need to sit down
And talk about the black and the brown
Eighty percent of inmates are black and hispanic
They tryna wipe us all off the face of this planet
Dammit that's why we need to sit down
And talk about the black and the brown
