ANDA TAK MENGETAHUI JUDUL LAGU, TAPI MENGETAHUI NAMA PENYANYI

- klik menu A B C D E ... berdasarkan nama artis Y, cari Yovie, dan cari lirik yang Anda cari.
ANDA TAK MENGETAHUI JUDUL LAGU, TAPI MENGETAHUI SYAIR
- Ketikkan penggalan syair yang Anda ketahui, misal:
Tanpamu tiada berarti
Tak mampu lagi berdiri
Cahaya kasihmu menuntunku
Kembali dalam dekapan tanganmu - Masukkan kata-kata penting. Misal: tiada berarti berdiri cahaya dekapan.
- Hindari kata-kata yang berkemungkinan memiliki ada dua versi atau lebih. Misal: tanpamu dapat ditulis tanpa mu.

Hey, yeah, we the same brothas from a long time agoWe was talkin' about television and doin' it on the radioWhat we did was to help our generation realizeThey had to get out there and get busy cause it wasn't gonna be televisedWe got respect for you rappers and the way they be free-weighin'But if you're gon' be teachin' folks things, make sure you know what you're sayin'Older folks in our neighborhood got plenty of know-howRemember if it wasn't for them, you wouldn't be out here nowAnd I ain't comin' at you with no disrespectAll I'm sayin' is that you damn well got to be correctBecause if you're gonna be speakin' for a whole generationAnd you know enough to try and handle their educationMake sure you know the real deal about past situationsIt ain't just repeatin' what you heard on the local TV stationsSometimes they tell lies and put 'em in a truthful disguiseBut the truth is that's why we said it wouldn't be televisedThey don't know what to say to our young folks, but they know that you doAnd if they really knew the truthwhy would they tell you?The first sign is peace, tell all them gun totin' young brothasThat the man is glad to see us out there killin' one anotherWe raised too much hell when they was shootin' us downSo they started poisoning our minds tryin' to jerk us all aroundAnd they tell us they got to come in and control our situationThey want half of us on dope and the other half in incarcerationIf the ones they want dead ain't killed by what they instigatedThey put some dope on a brotha's body and claim it was drug relatedTell them drug related means there don't need to be no investigationOr at least that's the way they're gon' play it on the local TV stationsAll your 9-millimeter brothasgive them somthin' to think aboutTell them you heard that this is the new word, they got to work that stuff outBut somehow they feel in the wrong way with a gun in their handsThey feel real independentbut they just pullin' contracts for the manFive and five will tell you it's hopeless out there on the avenueBut if they really knew the truthwhy would they tell you?And if they look at you like you're insaneAnd they start callin' you scarecrow and say you ain't got no brainOr start tellin' folks that you suddenly gone lameOr that white folks had finally co-opted your gameOr worse yet implying that you don't really knowThat's the same thing they said about usa long time agoYoung rappers, one more suggestion before I get out of your wayBut I appreciate the respect you give me and what you got to sayI'm sayin' protect your community and spread that respect aroundTell brothas and sistas they gotta calm that bullshit downCause we're terrorizin' our old folks and brought fear into our homesAnd they ain't got to hang out with the senior citizensJust tell them, "Dammitleave the old folks alone"And we know who rippin' off the neighborhood, tell them, "That BS has got to stop!"Tell them you're sorry they can't handle it out thereBut they got to take the crime off the blockAnd if they look at you like you're insaneAnd they start callin' you scarecrow and say you ain't got no brainOr start tellin' folks that you suddenly gone lameOr that white folks had finally co-opted your gameOr worse yet saying that you really don't knowThat's the same thing they said about me a long time agoAnd if they tell folks that you finally lost your nerveThat's the same thing they said about us, when we said, "Johannesburg"But I think the young folks need to know, that things don't go both waysYou can't talk respect of every other song or just every other dayWhat I'm speakin' on now is the raps about the women folksOn one song she's your African Queen on the next one she's a jokeAnd you ain't said no words that I haven't heard, but that ain't no complimentIt only insults eight people out of ten and questions your intelligenceFour letter words or four syllable words won't make you importantIt'll only magnify how shallow you are and let everybody know itAnd if they look at you like they think you insaneOr they call you scarecrow thinkin' you ain't got no brainOr start tellin' folks that you suddenly gone lameOr that white folks have finally co-opted your gameOr you really don't knowThey said that about me a long time agoIf they finally start to tell people that you lost your nerveThat's what they said about JohannesburgYou ain't insaneyou have got a brainYou haven't gone lame; you have got your gameRememberkeep the nerveKeep the nerveKeep the nerveKeep the nerveI'm talkin' about peace
