Words Of Wisdom Lyrics - 2pacalypse Now - 2pac

Killing us one by one 

In one way or another 

America will find a way to eliminate the problem 

One by one 

The problem is the troublesome black youth of the ghetto's 

And one by one 

We are being wiped off the face of this earth 

At an extremly alarming rate 

And even more alarming is the fact 

That we are not fighting back 

Brothers, sisters, nigga's 

When I say 'nigga' it is not the nigga we have grown to fear 

It is not the nigga we say as if it has no meaning 

But to me it means Never Ignorant Getting Goals Accomplished, nigga 

Nigga's, what are we going to do? 

Walk blind into a line or fight 

Fight and die if we must die, like nigga's

27 Best Ever Songs From Movie Soundtracks 

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

Watch Will Smith perform to iconic song 'Prince Ali' from Aladdin 

This is for the masses, the lower classes 

The ones you left out, jobs were giving, better living 

But we were kept out 

Made to feel inferior, but we're superior 

Break the chains in our brains that made us fear ya 

Pledge allegiance to a flag that neglects us 

Honour a man that that refuses to respect us 

Emancipation Proclamation? Please! 

Lincoln just said that to save the nation 

These are lies that we all accepted 

Say no to drugs but the governments' kept it 

Running through our community, killing the unity 

The war on drugs is a war on you and me 

And yet, they say this is the Home of The Free 

But if you ask me, it's all about hypocrisy 

The constitution, yo, it don't apply to me 

And Lady Liberty? Stupid bitch lied to me 

This made me strong, and no one's gonna like what I'm pumpin' 

But its wrong to keep someone from learning something 

So get up, its time to start nation building 

I'm fed up, we gotta start teach the children 

That they can be all that they wanna to be 

There's much more to life than just poverty

This is definitely ehhh... words of wisdom 

AMERIKA, AMERIKA, AMERIK-K-KA 

I charge you with the crime of rape, murder, and assault 

For suppressing and punishing my people 

I charge you with robery for robbing me of my history 

I charge you with false imprisonment for keeping me 

Trapped in the projects 

And the jury finds you guilty on all accounts 

And you are to serve the consequences of your evil schemes 

Prosecutor, do you have any more evidence? 

Words of Wisdom 

Based upon the strength of a nation 

Conquer the enemy armed with education 

Protect yourself, reach for what you want to do 

Know thy self, teach by what we've been through 

Armed with the knowledge of the place we've been 

No one will ever oppress this race again 

No Malcolm X in my history text, why is that? 

Cause he tried to educate and liberate all blacks 

Why is Martin Luther King in my book each week? 

He told blacks, if they get smacked, turn the other cheek 

I don't get it, so many questions went through my mind 

I get sweated, they act like asking questions is a crime 

But forget it, cause one day I'm gonna prove them wrong 

Not every brother had his mother on the welfare line 

The American Dream, though it seems like it's attainable 

They're pulling your sleeve, don't believe 

Cause it will strangle ya 

Pulling the life of your brain, I can't explain 

Beg as you can obtain from which you came 

Swear that your mother is living in equality 

Forgetting your brother that's living in poverty 

Thought they had us beaten when they took out King 

But the battle ain't over till the black man sings 

Words of Wisdom 

The battle ain't over till the black man sings 

Words of Wisdom 

NIGHTMARE! That's what I am 

America's Nightmare 

I am what you made me 

The hate and the evil that you gave me 

I shine as a reminder of what you've done to my people 

For four hundred plus years 

You should be scared 

You should be running 

You should be trying to silence me 

Ha, but you can not escape fate 

Well, it is my turn to come 

Just as you rose you will fall 

By my hands 

America, you reap what you sow 

2Pacalypse... America's Nightmare 

Ice Cube and Da Lench Mob... America's Nightmare 

Above The Law... America's Nightmare 

Paris... America's Nightmare 

Public Enemy... America's Nightmare 

KRS-One... America's Nightmare 

Mutulu Shakur... America's Nightmare 

Geronimo Pratt... America's Nightmare 

Assata Shakur... America's Nightmare
