    Letter To The President

    Uhh.. dear Mr. President
    Whas happenin?
    I'm writin you because, s**t is still real f**ked up in my neighborhood
    Pretty much the same way, right around the time when you got elected
    Ain't nothin changed
    All the promises you made, before you got elected..
    .. they ain't came true


    Tell me what to do, these ni**az actin up in the hood
    Send mo' troops, dear Mr. President
    (Me and my homies is wonderin what's goin on.. holla!)
    Tell me what to do, these ni**az actin up in the hood
    Send mo' troops..

    Why should I lie, when I can dramatize?
    ni**az fell victim to my lyrics, now traumatized
    Simply by spittin I've been blessed given riches, enemies suspicious
    cause I'm seldom in the company of bi**hes
    Plus the concepts I depict, so visual, that you can kiss
    each and every trick or bi**h, inside the s**t I kick
    My heaviest verse'll move a mountain
    Casualties in ma*s amounts, brothers keep countin
    f**k the friendships, I ride alone
    Destination Death Row, finally found a home
    Plus all my homies wanna die, call it euthanasia
    Dear Lord, look how sick this ghetto made us, sincerely
    yours I'm a thug, the product of a broken home
    Everybody's doped up, ni**a what you smokin on?
    Figure if we high they can train us
    but then America f**ked up and blamed up
    I guess it's cause we black that we targets
    My only fear is God, I spit that hard s**t
    In case you don't know, I let my pump go
    Get ?ride for M'Thulu? like I ride for Geronimo
    Down to die, for everything I represent
    Meant every word, in my letter to the President

    Dear Mr. President, tell me what to do
    These ni**az actin up in the hood, send mo' troops
    (What should I do?)
    Dear Mr. President, tell me what to do
    These ni**az actin up in the hood, send mo' troops


    Oh youse a ball in the White House, I hope you comfortable
    cause yo I spend my nights out, with the lights out
    under the safety of darkness, amongst the crazed and the heartless
    and young soul bros, ready to rode a starship
    Launch it, leave a ni**a flat for scratch, the Godless
    I gotta get chips, but you can't understand that
    Wanna ban rap? Stand back, before you get hurt
    It's the only thing makin pay besides smoke and work
    On a mission listen more chips my goal and position
    First on my decision I realized the same ni**a
    Trippin to drastic measures tryin to get stacks of cheddar
    Muh'f**kers hate cops, wait it ain't gettin better
    But you keep, tellin us, that it is
    while your motherf**kin troops keep killin our kids, dig
    Don't be surprised if you see us
    Dumpin with nuttin but artillery to free us, motherf**ker

    Dear Mr. President, tell me what to do
    These ni**az actin up in the hood, send mo' troops
    Dear Mr. President, tell me what to do
    These ni**az actin up in the hood, send mo' troops


    Strapped and angry, with no hope and heartbroke
    Fightin first my trained brain until it's not so
    It's hostile, ni**az lick shots to watch the glocks glow
    Cadres of coppers patrol us like we some animals
    And it ain't no peace, my peace a piece on my streets
    to people beefin and things, squeakin on they beefs for weeks
    Mr. President, it's evident, nobody really care
    for a struggle out the gutter, twenty-two with gray hair
    I was raised to raise hell, frail and my heart stale
    So I'ma bring hell to earth until my heart fail
    But y'all play fair, give me and mine, I'll share
    Til y'all show us you care, it's gon' be mayhem out here
    Me and these 223'sll freeze the biggest with ease
    I'm still a ni**a you fear, bring the beast to his knees
    and I've been born to represent, for that I've been heaven sent
    And I meant, every word, in my letter, to the President

    s**t is still f**ked up y'all
    And y'all wonder when it's gon' get better
    and it ain't gon' get better


    Dear Mr. President, tell me what to do
    These ni**az actin up in the hood, send mo' troops
    Dear Mr. President, tell me what to do
    These ni**az actin up..

    Heavenly Father may I holla at you briefly
    I wanna meet the President, but will he meet me?
    He's scared to look inside the eyes of a Thug ni**a
    We tired of bein scapegoats for this capitalistic drug dealin
    How hypocritical is Liberty?
    That blind bi**h ain't never did s**t for me
    My history, full of casket and scars
    My own black nation at war, whole family behind bars
    And they wonder why we scarred, thirteen lookin hard
    Sister had a baby as an adolescent, where was God?
    Somewhere in the middle of my mind
    is a ni**a on the tightrope, screamin let him die
    Can't lie I'm a thug, drownin in my own blood
    Lookin for the reason that my momma's strung out on drugs
    Down to die, for everything I represent
    Meant every word, in my letter to the President


    Blacks is broke, think it's a joke that we livin low?
    Y'all sniffin blow and postin what they hittin fo'?
    Tell the secretary it's necessary we get paid
    Look what you made, little kids gettin sprayed
    Day after day, and night after night
    Battles and wars to the daylight
    We might change and rearrange if you do somethin
    Til then we gonna keep it comin, Mr. President
    Hehe
    And I meant every word in my letter to the President

    Word motherf**kin life
    f**k this ni**a think?Cuttin taxes, takin off welfare
    We 'sposed to just sit here, go broke and die, starvin?
    Motherf**kers crazier than a motherf**kin ??
    ni**a this Thug Life, Westside Outlaw Immortalz ni**a
    We fin' to hustle til we come up

    Dear Mr. President, tell me what to do
    These ni**az actin up in the hood, send mo' troops
    Dear Mr. President, tell me what to do
    These ni**az actin up in the hood, send mo' troops
    Dear Mr. President, tell me what to do
    These ni**az actin up in the hood, send mo' troops
    Dear Mr. President, tell me what to do
    These ni**az actin up in the hood, send mo' troops

    Dear Mr. Clinton, s**t
    It's gettin harder and harder for a motherf**ker
    to make a dollar in these here streets
    I mean s**t, I hear you screamin peace
    But we can't find peace
    til my little ni**az on these streets get a piece
    I know you feel me cause you too near me not to hear me
    So why don't you help a ni**a out?Sayin you cuttin welfare
    That got us ni**az on the street, thinkin who in the hell care?
    s**t, y'all want us to put down our glocks and our rocks
    but y'all ain't ready to give us no motherf**kin dollars
    What happened to our 40 acres and a mule fool?
    We ain't stupid
    Think you got us lookin to lose
    Tryin to turn all us young ni**az into troops
    You want us to fight your war
    What the f**k I'm fightin for?
    s**t, I ain't got no love here
    I ain't had a check all year
    Taxin, all the blacks and
    police beatin me in the streets
    f**k peace

    These ni**az actin up in the hood, send mo' troops
