Eddie Haskill - Higher Learning слова песни

This is the story of when my life was changed foreverThere`s 16 oz. to a pound 18 more to a key And Mos Def wants to explain mathematics to meThe situation seems tragic and I`m feeling like a culpritSo I`mma look back and try to figure out where I faultedI was born in 81 dad fathered a baby sonTurned into a strong man you he really help make me oneAnd ever since I can rememberHe told me skin color was irrelevant just act your genderWhen I was 8 I bought a Public Enemy tapeI didn`t fear the black planet wanted to hear the black planetWere they talking fight the power or fight the powderIt didn`t matter when I was nine I just screamed it louderAnd at 10 I bought shirts where hands met in the middle And when whites said the word nigger I got upset a littleWhen I was 11 I really thought that I was helping the blacksI saved up my allowance for a Malcolm X hatI wore it until a gun got pulled on mePeople thought I was an idiot but I was just innocentFor many reasons I was balling really my ass cried But nothing will compare to what happened last night [Chorus]The 14th amendment doesn`t help to encourage friendshipAnd nobody really tries to fight to put an end to itSo if you open your eyes then the sooner you`ll seeIt`s obviously up to us and its only you and meWho else you know but Illmatic on the date of its releaseYou got hyped off "One Mic" and bought the 4 previous cdsHe fucked up threw a diss people said I`m out of my leagueBut this white boy aint going back to bottom feedSo now I paid my dues I thought it was obvious But still I hear ‘Yo, You out of line with that Nas dissThis aint just a novice with a college careerPeople took me as a joke so the knowledge is hereAnd it really ate me up self pride swallowed with fearContemplated last night sipping on a bottle of beerSo now I leave the bar its just a short run to the houseAnd out of nowhere I hear a car coming from the southThey jumped out 4 blacks pushed me back to the groundWith fists and kicks yo they beat my ass downOutside I was pissed inside callin for MomBut my face was full of blood and my walletAnd I wish I could say it wasn`t cause of my raceBut it was obvious they did it cause of the color of my faceThey said Fuck you cracker Fuck you CrackerI`m think what the fuck yo don`t they know I`m a rapperSaid fuck you Cracker I`m thinking fuck you tooBut said it to myself so the beating would concludeThey drove off laughin and I`m sitting there gaspinAll I can do is just watch time as its passinLaying there alone broke down stared to cryCan you believe what happened to me last night?[Chorus]I got nothing but sympathy for what happened to your relatives But I was in an emergency room and that`s relativeI can`t believe that I was so naive I never ever thought it could happen to little old meI`d never been a racist but now I`m the victim of a hate crimeYou`d be surprised how it fucks up the state of your mindAnd I knew that it would only heal through time with rhymesBut I`m real afraid that it may leave scars behindAnd then it hit me. I wasn`t mad at black but mad at the kidsFor giving me a concussion and shattering my ribsI got many black friends they respect me I respect themI was only seeing one color in the spectrumAnd even thought they did it cause of my skin toneIf I grew to hate all blacks that I would`ve been no Better than them a hypocrite a fake profitBecause I grew up thinking we`d unite to stop thisRacial oppression, aggression its tension obsessionAs with everything out pops the lessonThe tears are all gone I can`t believe my ass criedCause I learned so much from what happened last night
