Ebony


Once again, my friend, I try
To help improve another brother's life
By coming through with the righteous groove
Tell right from wrong, makes people move
Not idiot cross-over songs that appeal to all
And make you sing along, no
This one is for the chosen few
Who wanna buildin' up, lift my people too, so
Listen to the words I speak
Cause the words are true and truth's what I teach
By talking about the things that I see
When talking about this color called ebony

Now selling drugs, I'm above those
Killing off his own trying to make a buck
Nah, that ain't the way it's done today
Gotta come together, gotta educate
Gotta uplift, lift up your head
Stand strong and proud, don't end up dead
Take time to make that move
Be sure to be straight and you'll improve
Live long, be strong and you'll see
The better is the life, live long and carefree
Just stay on the righteous path, you'll see the truth
And won't have to ask why
I don't make the rhymes that say
How ignorant brothers act nowaday
I just talk about the things that I see
When talking about this color called ebony

Now I want y'all to listen
Do whatcha missin'
What lacks in the competition is
Strong words, pride and unity
I'm glad that y'all are tuned to me
I'm here to let y'all know
P-Dog is sick and I run the show
By talking about the things that I see
When talking about this color called ebony
