Black Cotton

(album: Loyal To The Game - 2004)

[2Pac:]
Black Cotton
Black Cotton
Black Cotton A symbol for unrewarded struggle
Time for a little gospel tale
Ghetto gospel that is listen
Rotten Black Cotton in God's eyes
Speak

[2Pac:]
Black Cotton
Steady stressing Smith and Wessons count my blessings
Class is in session: the worst question is the first question
Why do we work like slaves sweating blades to an early grave
Never got paid but still we slave (In the nine tre')
Answer that then answer this too
Love's gonna get ya you know it's true life's a bitch true
You best to backtrack and try to act black and live
Not to be phony and positive but why be negative?
What's the matter G? Black cat got your tongue
Fat track gotcha sprung now your hung (Do ya feel me?)
Dum dum diddy is it me?
Attempt to reach each and every brother on the streets
If not peace then at least let's get a piece
I'm tired of seeing bodies on the streets deceased
Looking through my highschool yearbook
Reminiscing of the tears as the years took
One homie, two homie, three homies POOF
We used to have troops but now there's no more youth to shoot
God come save the misbegotten
Lost ghetto souls of Black Cotton (In God's eyes)

[Eminem:]
Nobody don't care
(No matter how hard I try, look to the sky, and I ask God why)
Nobody don't care
(Seems like my dreams, drowned in by screams, no answer to my questions)
Nobody don't care
(Feels like I'm pressed, why do I stress? It's like I'm being tested)
Nobody don't care
(Seems like my prayers vanish to thin air, please answer my questions)
Nobody don't care

[Kastro:]
In the belly of the beast I'm bubbling up
Running out of luck, about to self destruct
Old heads say live your life like such
You're sure to catch her witcha one day boy
I wouldn't listen to 'em
Your power movement was cool
But it ain't fix nothing
So I just go with what i know
I don't trust none
Look what the 80s did
To us baby kids
And now we grown up
Nobody ain't own us yet

[Young Noble:]
Black cotton, I'm plotting on what they owe me
I'm working without a profit
They shackling all my homies
I'm hurting but keep the mind
And we ain't stop, it's curtains, you try to rise and
Certainly we survive with Outlaw Ridas
What's the reward for a struggler
If the lord loving us then why they hate to see us coming up
Running up, gun cocked, black mask and gloves
If you ain't got a penny, mind the glove
No love
Waiting for my 40 acres and a blunt to blaze
Biblical times good hearts with milita minds
Black Cotton I'm hopping over enemy lines
Black Cotton I ain't stopping till they giving me mine
Black Cotton
