Makaveli - White Man'z World lyrics
"You go bustin your fist against a stone wall, 
 you're not usin your brain. That's what the white man wants you to do.
 Look at you! What makes you ashamed of bein black?"
 (Nuttin but love for you my sister)
 Might even know how hard it is (no doubt)
 Bein a woman, a black woman at that? (no doubt)
 Shit - in this white man's world
 Sometimes we overlook the fact that we be ridin hard on our sisters
 we don't be knowin the pain we be causin (in this white man's world)
 In this white man's world.. I ain't sayin I'm innocent in all this
 I'm just sayin (in this white man's world)
 This song is for y'all
 For all those times that I messed up or we messed up
 [2Pac]
 Dear sister, got me twisted up in prison I miss ya
 Cryin lookin at my niece's and my newphew's picture
 They say don't let this cruel world get ya, kinda suspicious
 Swearin one day you might leave me, for somebody that's richer
 Twist the cap off the bottle, I take a sip and see tomorrow
 Gotta make if I have to beg or borrow
 Readin love letters; late night, locked down and quiet
 If brothers don't recieve they mail best believe we riot
 Eatin Jack-Mack(?), starin at walls of silence
 inside this cage where they captured all my rage and violence
 In time I learned a few lessons, never fall for riches
 Aplogizies to my TRUE sisters; far from bitches
 Help me raise my black nation reperations are due, it's true
 Caught up in this world I took advantage of you
 So tell the babies how I love them, precious boys and girls
 Born black in this white man's world - and all I heard was
 [Chorus - sung]
 Who, knows what tomorrow brings
 In this world, where everyone's blind
 And where to go, no matter how far I'll find
 To let you know, that you're not alone
 [2Pac over Chorus]
 Only thing they ever did wrong (YES, YES)
 was bein born black, in this white man's world (NO DOUBT)
 (All my ghetto motherfuckers be proud to be black and be PROUD)
 All my little black seeds, born black in this white man's world
 (to have this shit like this, cause ain't NOBODY got it like this)
 (All these motherfuckers wanna be like us, they all wanna be like us)
 (To be the have-nots, all hail)
 (God bless the child that can hold his own, no motherfuckin doubt)
 [2Pac]
 Bein born with less I must confess only adds on to the stress
 Two gunshots to my homie's head, dyed in his vest
 Shot him to death and left him bleedin for his family to see
 I pass his casket gently askin, is there heaven for G's?
 My homeboy's doin life, his baby momma be stressin
 Sheddin tears when her son, finally ask that questions
 Where my daddy at? Mama why we live so poor?
 Why you cryin? Heard you late night through my bedroom door
 Now do you love me mama? Whitey keep on callin me nigga?
 Get my weight up with my hate and pay 'em back when I'm bigger
 And still thuggin in this jail cell, missin my block
 Hearin brothers screamin all night, wishin they'd stop
 Proud to be black but why we act like we don't love ourselves
 Don't look around busta (you sucka) check yourselves
 Know what it MEANS to be black, whether a man or girlMakaveli - White Man'z World - http://motolyrics.com/makaveli/white-manz-world-lyrics.html
 We still strugglin, in this white man's world
[Chorus]
 [*megaphone* over Chorus]
 We must fight, for brother Mumia
 We must fight, for brother Mutulu
 And we must fight, for brother (?)
 We must fight, for brother Geronimo Pratt
 We must fight.. for (?), Zulu, (?)
 We must fight, for the government's political prisoners
 They are locked up falsely by this white man
 [2Pac]
 So tell me why you - 
 changed to choose a new direction, in the blink of an eye
 My time away just made perfection, did you think I'd die?
 Not gon' cry, why should I care
 Like we holdin on to lost love that's no longer there
 Can you please help me, God bless me please keep my seeds healthy
 Makin all my enemies bleed while my G's wealthy
 Hopin they bury me with ammunitions, weed, and shells
 Just in case they trip in heaven - ain't no G's hell
 Sister sorry for the pain that I caused your heart
 I know I'll change if you help me, but don't fall apart
 Rest in peace to Latasha, Lil' Yummy, and Kato
 Too much for this cold world to take - ended up bein fatal
 Every women in America, especially black
 Bear with me, can't you see, that we under attack
 I never meant to cause drama, to my sister and mama
 Hope we make it, to better times, in this white man's world
[Chorus] - 3X
 [Dialogue over Chorus]
 "You're out of touch with reality!
 There are a few of you in a few smoke filled rooms (?) that
 the mainstream wound up masses of the people
 White and black, red yellow, and, and brown
 (?) invulnerable are suffering, in this nation."
 [2Pac over Chorus]
 Remember that, in this white man's world, they can't stop us
 We've been here all this time they ain't took us out
 They can never take us out
 No matter what they say, about us bein extinct
 about us being endangered species, we ain't NEVER gon' leave this
 We ain't NEVER gon' walk off this planet, unless Y'ALL choose to
 Use your brain, use your brain
 It ain't THEM that's killin us it's US that's killin us
 It ain't THEM that's knockin us off, it's US that's knockin us off
 I'm tellin you better watch it, or be a victim
 Be a victim, in this white man's world..
 .. born black, in this white man's world, no doubt
 And it's dedicated to my motherfuckin teachers
 Mutulu Shakur, Geronimo Pratt, Mumia Abu Jamal
 Sekou Odinga, all the real O.G.'s, we out
 [Malcolm X]
 The seal, and the constitution, reflect the thinking
 of the founding fathers, that this was, to be a nation
 by white people, and for white people. Native americans, 
 blacks, and all other non-white people, were to be the 
 burden bearers, for the real citizens of this nation.
