[00:30.95] [Guru]
[00:33.46]
[00:37.58] Yo they got me handcuffed, I'm down in central booking
[00:40.29] Things are fucked up, the way my future's looking
[00:42.95] But I'm too fly, i'ma change this scenario
[00:45.64] Make some power moves and tighten up my bankroll
[00:48.24] Chumps are leary though, they see me as a threat
[00:50.84] I'm like the black dutch schultz when you get me upset
[00:53.54] Five-oh makes me wanna flip, larry davis style
[00:56.28] Got a nigga depressed, while he's awaitin trial
[00:58.84] It's ok though, cause from grey skies comes blue
[01:01.81] Through darkness comes light and I be known as the guru
[01:04.47] And this I certify we all should be alerted by
[01:07.32] The traps within the system, our youth is gettin murdered by
[01:10.02] The d.a. says they got me on a felony
[01:12.25] I'm tryin to live my life, so what the fuck is you tellin me?
[01:15.26] The streets are war, that's what brothers carry weapons for
[01:18.17] And I take the weight as I did before
[01:20.39] The next thing you know, they got me on the radio
[01:23.18] A rapper arrested, suckers showin me on video
[01:26.12] Of course I know, that I'm a role model
[01:28.72] But yo this rap life is real life sometimes it's full throttle
[01:31.48] Right now I gotta think about me fuck the industry
[01:34.28] You gets no love, except those who support me
[01:36.90] What's the story, what happened when I went to l.a.?
[01:39.70] Mixin shit up, no not there I got family
[01:42.46] Nothin happened, mind your business yo step
[01:45.23] You know we connect, jfk 2 lax
[01:47.66] Chorus: guru
[01:50.42] They wanna lock us all up, and throw away the key
[01:53.15] Don't wanna see us come up, don't wanna see us makin g's
[01:56.05] Long as we know this is the key to our destruction
[01:59.08] Let's make moves no discussion
[02:03.77] [Guru]
[02:07.06] Peace to my man hass, and orange man payin the cost
[02:09.17] All the twenty-five to lifers all my brothers gettin tossed
[02:11.16] Into the system, supposed to rehabilitate
[02:12.92] It's why you gotta regulate your own mindstate
[02:15.21] Read, study lessons and build your inner power
[02:17.65] The next level, doesn't tolerate cowards
[02:20.15] For example, I know this rich nigerian
[02:22.99] Powerful american that's proud to be an african
[02:25.16] He asked me why do all us brothers be gettin trapped
[02:28.09] I told him I'd explain it broke it down in a rap
[02:30.82] Whether you got naps, braids waves or no hair
[02:33.38] Without esteem for yourself nigga, you goin nowhere
[02:35.83] And you can swagger like you rule this; josey wales
[02:38.99] Unorganized revolt almost always mostly fails
[02:41.55] Give up the savage ways, be effective soldiers
[02:43.93] To elevate the mental is to be poor no more
[02:47.07] There's war in the streets, prepared men know best
[02:49.57] Our rhyme as live as it gets, jfk 2 lax
[02:52.05] They're always makin trouble yo, against the righteous
[02:55.06] Killin us in cold blood, those beats those vipers
[02:58.06] And as I sit feelin the pain in my wrist
[03:00.85] I vow to myself that i'ma change this shit
[03:03.46] Or at least I gotta try, or part of me will die
[03:06.02] And only by action will any ideas solidify
[03:08.79] So I inhale, exhale as I ponder
[03:11.53] This grown man will make mistakes no longer
[03:14.15] I've been there, I've seen how they make us fall victim
[03:16.84] To their tricknowledgy, with no apology I diss em
[03:19.48] And so I rip facts to dope tracks I caress
[03:22.03] You're gonna hear about it, from jfk 2 lax
[03:24.82] *Plane lands*
