Blak Luv - Jeru The Damaja

This is to my brothers and sisters in the ghetto

Avoid jail legend, fingerprints on full metal

Jackets like design, so that you can’t hack it But you musn’t get caught up in these devilish tactics

Never let the man pull ya string like Geppetto

The game’s the same, boricua or moreno

Don’t watch ya step and you be like, mi amigo

Forenzics made the maps, so now he’s on death row

Yo what’s the steelo, real brothers do it on the d-low

Knowing’s have the battle, so now you know

To be on point, cuz anybody can be a casualty

Some brothers lost there life, fuckin with O.P.P.

Um robbery and P.C.P.

From the cradle to the state penitentary

He’ll be in the middle of next century

Ask me, is it crying SAKNE

You got to watch how you flow and you will grow

If not you get tripped up in the ghetto

This is for the youth blak luv

This is for the ghetto, blak luv, blak luv

This is to my brothers and sisters in the ghetto

Sellin yae yo, playin c-lo, duckin po-po

Some brothers got murdered over a kilo

5−0 ask questions, but nobody know

What’s the M.O., another brother trying to get dough

Be careful how you live, cuz that’s how you go Wild like Rambo, get shot down by the Commando

Call your co-defendent sing like D’Angelo

No problemo, but upstate you sing soprano

Police sadimize, a man at the 7−0

Be careful where you go yo, and just in case you ain’t know

I flow, to liberate the ghetto

This is to my brothers and sisters in the ghetto

Trying to be like Pablo, DeNiro, Al Pacino

You be all right until you run up on Columbo

Get caught red handed, so you got to go You lose the crib, the car, the women and the dough

This can’t be happenin so you like Oh No So avoid this fate, and absorb the conscious flow

This is not a demo, strictly for the ghetto

Not the limo, work for the pimp, hustler and the ho And I’m gonna let you know

Whether you as black as jack or brown as nino

Blak Luv, is what we need to flow

From the ghetto
