Something Is Wrong
(专辑: Death Of A Pop Star - 2010)
[Rick Sanchez taken from a
CNN interview regarding Derrion Albert:] But what is that? I-I just gotta ask you though Because at that moment (yeah...) where you have that brick Or where you have th-that that two-by-four And you're bus about to bust the
skull Of a
fellow human being open with it And you're about to crush him or kill him or stomp him or kick him When he's on the
ground bleeding already SOMETHING'S gotta be real WRONG... [Chorus: Lisa Ivey (David Banner)] If you look at all the
hurt, look at all the
pain People are DYYYYING and it's SUCH a
shaaaame... They know something's wrong (But won't nobody say it) They know something's wrong (But won't nobody say it) They know something's wrong (But won't nobody say it) (I'll put it in a
record, but will anybody play it?) [David Banner:] In Chi-Town, D. Albert's laying on the
ground His life bleeds away while other folks stand around We gangstas, but we cain't stop the
pain in our town I
watched it on the
net and that moment was profound The
OG'z gotta put the
BG'z in check I'm tryna do sum'hin but I
need y'all help We started gangbangin to protect ourself Now it's power and respect to kill everything for wealth (wealth) .. and it's the
same thing in rap You tell the
kids to stay hood and you ain't even in the
trap He ain't never sell dope, he ain't never did time And if you did, why would you want them to walk the
same lines? (YEA-AH!) It's like we travel back in time Took the
whip with the
crack, now it's black-on-black crime Yeah, we put our cities on the
map But they call it the
trap because most hoods are just that a
trap! YEH! [Chorus] [David Banner:] Mr. President, you know that some people still racist? Jimmy Carter said it, you didn't have to underplay it Huh, but I
guess you got a
plan Police is still killin our young black man Ah, I
meant young black men It's less of us in college and more us in the
pen (in the
pen) Huh, I
guess it's the
devil's den You ain't trippin, you aight, it's more of our friends That's dyin in these streets, so I'm a
die over this beat If I
die off in these streets, I'm a
let the
blood leak Whisper, "God forgive me" Then bury me in the
creeks of Mississippi And I'm a
take the
whole world with me like.. [Chorus] [David Banner:] Women playin men but why do men play women? I
saw one in UGG boots and real tight denims Man, he had Apple Bottoms on So I
walked over to him and I
asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong?" He said, "What's wrong with you?! Ain't nothin wrong with me, this is the
life that I
choose This is what I
do" So I
said, "What's the
use? But if it's man on man, how the
hell we reproduce?" Ah, test tube baby He said, "Uh, David Banner, I
remember when he raped me Take me to the
bed, binded both legs I
blanked out and woke up in a
pool of red Ah, that changed my whole world Like that's my stepdad, thought, that I
shoulda been a
girl" Man, this is more than a
song Our kids are dyin fast, there I
said it, somethin's wrong YEH! [Rick Sanchez:] I
agree with you. I
think there are people out there Who could possibly, very well be unsalvageable And maybe we as a
society started need to start treating them As if they are, just that unsalvageable. [echoes] [David Banner:] That's a
lie, we gon' save our kids!
