So Long Lyrics - Greatest Story Ever Told - David Banner

I think for the most part our generation is 

Filled with a bunch of motherfucking cowards 

And I say that man cause we beef with amongst each other 

We kill and we shoot each other in our own hoods 

And we bang each other, we won't bang cops, you know what im sayin 

And one thing theses motherfuckers in America know 

They know we wont do shit 

I'm grippin' the neena 

Visions of 911, visions of three 6's no 7's 

This is bushanomics, George is a modern day Ronald Reagan 

I pray to god and I miss the prayers, niggas I'm just sayin' 

When do we stop playin', when do we stop pimpin' and start sprayin' 

50 shots for every cop that popped sean bell, his body layin' 

But they don't quit cause they know that our generation wont do shit 

Nothin', nada, but every rapper is a shotta or a don dotta 

Or a killer but you ain't killin' nothin' in this piece unless its another nigga 

Tryin to raise boys to supermen, 

And while I'm at it fuck Arthur J. Cooperman 

Its never just-ice for blacks but they send just-us to Iraq 

With poor whites and Latinos I pray to God that you hear this single 

This is Banners middle finger yall, yeah! 

[Chorus: x2] 

I've been waitin' in the hood for so long (so long) 

I've been waitin' in the hood for so long (so long) 

For some niggas to stand up in here 

We some soldiers and we have no fear 

Mrs. Catherin Johnson was murdered by police 

In north-west Atlanta but I don't hear it in the streets 

With a anger in the hood for this old lady dying 

DC 6 aint shit but cops lying 

Ain't shit but bullets flyin' 39 slugs from under-covers 

Fuck the law! this was somebody's damn grandmother 

And she died over crack sales, crooked ass cops 

Or some nigga tryin' to flip yay, yeah 

You ain't have to sell it in her yard 

You aint trappin bitch you yappin to the motherfucking Gods 

And I got a damn question, why the city ain't pissed off? 

When I know yall heard shots and little lady got hauled off yall, yeah 

[Chorus] 

I don't understand if you don't ride for something dog 

Fight for something, fight anybody but your motherfucking self nigga 

We sell drugs, but we only sell drugs to ourself 

We bang and we only bang on ourselves 

We do every fucking negative thing and niggas is so hard 

Niggas on the radio, on cities, on tapes, in movies 

They got guns, they got pistols, 

But ain't nobody shooting at nothing but they self 

Fear is the only thing that people respect 

We forget everybody but ourself 

These cops gonna have to fear something 

Something gonna have to happen 

Yall goin' to march, march to the motherfucking cops house my nigga 

Make these motherfuckers fear something 

Cause make us, they got us scared 

They got niggas scared to go strip clubs nigga 

You know shit my nigga like, 

Somethin' gotta happen I say it 

Cause I ain't scared I ain't scared of shit 

I'm scared of god I'm scared of god first 

And I'm scared of takin' the blessing that god has given me 

And leading someone down the wrong path (wrong path)
