Ghetto Afterlife lyrics

[Talib Kweli]
These niggaz ain`t thugs, the real thugs is the government
Don`t matter if you independent, democrat or republican
Niggaz politickin the street, get into beef
Start blastin, now a new cat is executive chief
With a, passion for heat you get, blast in yo` seat
Die before you crash in yo` Jeep, never passin in your sleep
like an old man, you ain`t a fool you got a whole plan
to conquer territories like Europeans who stole land
The future of your whole fam` hang in the balance
You the king, and your block is the palace
Y`all niggaz is the parliament, untouchable, spot unrushable
Keep your weight wet, call in collect to save a buck or two
Get mad, who the fuck are you? What you gonna do?
Exactly what I thought - NOTHIN, in the sport of frontin
you the undisputed champion, I`m in a class you can`t be in
My words is flesh like Jesus, the aquarian

{*scratched* `;Let`s stop right here for an amen and a right on`;}
{`;So you think that I`m a fool...`;}
{`;Amen, right on...`;}

Chorus: T. Kweli and Kool G. Rap

[T] It`s just a chapter of the night, in the ghetto afterlife
Where you just seen or heard about or gonna have to fight
[K] Where they sacrifice the life and niggaz see flashes of light
When you trapped up in the heights but clappers aimin at the wife

[Talib Kweli]
Yeah, dudes gettin money is still thuggin
Chicks gettin money is still ghetto
Still livin the whole thuggish stilleto
Your team let the metal burst before you take an L
you raised in hell, let the dust settle first
Then you ask the question, snatchin the life of the innocent
Shit happens huh, a man`s respected by his actions
It`s the karma of the street, you try to meet
