Jfk 2 Lax Lyrics - Gangstarr

Yo 

Yo premier? 

Yeah whassup g? 

That trip to l.a., may be delayed 

Why whassup I'm on my way to the airport now 

Yeah well your boy guru got knocked 

What?! 

I don't know what this is about, sounds crazy man 

Somethin about a gun 

The court calls keith elam to the stand. 

Please approach the bench.

[guru] 

Yo they got me handcuffed, I'm down in central booking 

Things are fucked up, the way my future's looking 

But I'm too fly, i'ma change this scenario 

Make some power moves and tighten up my bankroll 

Chumps are leary though, they see me as a threat 

I'm like the black dutch schultz when you get me upset 

Five-oh makes me wanna flip, larry davis style 

Got a nigga depressed, while he's awaitin trial 

It's ok though, cause from grey skies comes blue 

Through darkness comes light and I be known as the guru 

And this I certify we all should be alerted by 

The traps within the system, our youth is gettin murdered by 

The d.a. says they got me on a felony 

I'm tryin to live my life, so what the fuck is you tellin me? 

The streets are war, that's what brothers carry weapons for 

And I take the weight as I did before 

The next thing you know, they got me on the radio 

A rapper arrested, suckers showin me on video 

Of course I know, that I'm a role model 

But yo this rap life is real life sometimes it's full throttle 

Right now I gotta think about me fuck the industry 

You gets no love, except those who support me 

What's the story, what happened when I went to l.a.? 

Mixin shit up, no not there I got family 

Nothin happened, mind your business yo step 

You know we connect, jfk 2 lax 

Chorus: guru 

They wanna lock us all up, and throw away the key 

Don't wanna see us come up, don't wanna see us makin g's 

Long as we know this is the key to our destruction 

Let's make moves no discussion 

[guru] 

Peace to my man hass, and orange man payin the cost 

All the twenty-five to lifers all my brothers gettin tossed 

Into the system, supposed to rehabilitate 

It's why you gotta regulate your own mindstate 

Read, study lessons and build your inner power 

The next level, doesn't tolerate cowards 

For example, I know this rich nigerian 

Powerful american that's proud to be an african 

He asked me why do all us brothers be gettin trapped 

I told him I'd explain it broke it down in a rap 

Whether you got naps, braids waves or no hair 

Without esteem for yourself nigga, you goin nowhere 

And you can swagger like you rule this; josey wales 

Unorganized revolt almost always mostly fails 

Give up the savage ways, be effective soldiers 

To elevate the mental is to be poor no more 

There's war in the streets, prepared men know best 

Our rhyme as live as it gets, jfk 2 lax 

They're always makin trouble yo, against the righteous 

Killin us in cold blood, those beats those vipers 

And as I sit feelin the pain in my wrist 

I vow to myself that i'ma change this shit 

Or at least I gotta try, or part of me will die 

And only by action will any ideas solidify 

So I inhale, exhale as I ponder 

This grown man will make mistakes no longer 

I've been there, I've seen how they make us fall victim 

To their tricknowledgy, with no apology I diss em 

And so I rip facts to dope tracks I caress 

You're gonna hear about it, from jfk 2 lax
