VERSE 
1 - 
NAS

Man
 what 
happened 
to 
us?

Geographically 
they 
moved 
us

From
 Africa

We 
was 
once 
happiness
 pursuers

Now
 we 
back
stabbing, 
combative 
and
 abusive

The
 African
 and 
Arab 
go 
at 
it 
they 
most 
Muslim

Used
 to 
be
 moving 
in 
unison

Disputes
 would 
end

Bounty 
Hunters 
and
 Grape 
Street 
get 
cool 
again

Some
 standard 
housing

Got 
the 
young 
running 
rampant

Wilding, 
for 
a 
Phantom

He
 can 
style 
in

Mask 
on 
his 
face

Grabbing
 his 
Luger

Saying,
"nobody 
move 
or
 I'll
 shoot 
ya"

Man
 you're 
expiring

Catch
 25 
and 
he 
does 
it 
like 
a 
man

He
 sides 
with 
Black,


White 
Pride 
and 
Mexican

Survive
 the
 best 
he 
can

Strap
 a
 shank 
to 
his 
thigh

Why 
do 
we
 all 
collide?

Why 
do 
the
 young 
die?

Extortion,
 murder 
and 
burglary

Tattoos 
his
 chest

Says
 his 
"Enemies 
Don't
 Deserve 
To 
Breath"

VERSE

K'NAAN


I
 drink 
poison

Then 
I 
vomit 
diamonds

I 
gave 
you 
Mandela, 
Black 
Dalai 
Lamas

I
 gave 
you 
music

You
 enthused 
in 
my 
kindness

So
 how
 dare 
you
 reduce 
me 
to 
Donny
 Imus

Timeless 
in case 
we 
never 
been 
acquainted

Flyness 
who 
made 
it

It
 gets 
duplicated

Mindless
 violence

Well 
let
 me
 try 
to 
paint
 it

Here's 
the 
5 
steps

In 
hopes 
to 
explain 
it

One!

Its
 me 
and 
my 
Nation 
against
 the 
World

Two!

Then 
me 
and 
my 
Clan 
against
 the 
Nation

Three!

Then 
me 
and 
my
 Fam'
 against 
the 
Clan

Four!

Then
 me 
and 
my 
brother 
we 
no 
hesitation

Uh!

Go
 against
 the 
Fam' 
until 
they
 cave 
in

Five!

Now 
who's 
left 
in 
this 
deadly 
equation?

That's
 right, 
it's 
me 
against 
my 
brother

Then 
we 
point 
a 
Kalashnikov

And
 kill 
one 
another
