JFK 2 LAX

Yo they got me handcuffed, I'm down in central booking
things is fucked up they way my future's looking
but I'm too fly I'm a change this scenerio
make some power moves & tighten up my bank roll
chumps are ?? though, they see me as a threat
I'm like a black Dutch Schults when you see me upset
5-0 makes me wanna flip Mary Davis style
got a nigga depressed while he's awaitin' trial
it's okay though cause when grey skies come blue
and through darkness comes light and I be known as the GURU
and this I certify, ya'll should be alerted by
the traps within the system our youth is gettin murdered by
the DA says he got me on a felony
I'm tryin ta live my life so what the fuck is you tellin me?
The streets are war, that's what brothas carry weapons for
and I take the weight as I did before
the next thing ya know they got me on the radio
"A rapper arrested" suckas showin me on video
of course I know that I'm a role model
but yo this rap life is real life
sometimes it's full throddle
right now I gotta think about me, fuck the industry
You gets no love except those who support me
what's the story? What happened when I got to LA?
mixin shit up, no not there, I got family
yo nothin happened, mind ya business, yo step
you know we connect from JFK to LAX...
They wanna lock us all up & throw away the key
don't wanna see us come up, don't wanna see us makin' g's
long as we know this is the key to our destruction
let's make moves no discussion
peace to my man Javs, an knowledge men payin the cost
all the 25 to lifers, all my brothas getting tossed -
into the system supposed to rehabilitate
that's why you gotta regulate ya own minds state
read, study lessons and build ya inner power
the next level doesn't tolerate cowards
for example, I know this rich Nigerian
powerful American that's proud to be an African
he asked me why all us brothas be gettin trapped
I told him I'd explain it, broke it down in a rap
whether you got naps, braids, waves, or no hair
without esteem for yourself nigga you're going nowhere
an you can swagger like you're rude as Josie Wales
unorganized revolt almost always mostly fails
give up the savage ways, be effective soldiers
to elevate the mental is to be poor no more
there's war in the streets, prepared men know best
I rhyme as live as it gets from JFK to LAX...
they always makin trouble yo against the rhiteous
killin us in cold blood, those beasts, those vipers
and as I sit feelin the pain in my wrists
I vow to myself that I'm a change this shit
or at least I gotta try or part of me will die
and only by action will any ideas solidify
so I inhale, exhale as I ponder
this grown man will make mistakes no longer
I've been there, I've seen how they make us fall victim
to their tricknology
with no apology I diss 'em
and so I rip facts to dope tracks I caress
you're gonna hear about from JFK to LAX...
