Say Something - Mickey Factz, Sha Stimuli

They don’t want me to say something

Radio is scared I’mma get on and say something

They don’t want me to say something

Turn this mic off they don’t want me to say something

They don’t want me to say something

Radio is scared I’mma get on and say something

They don’t want me to say something

Turn this mic off…

Like Heaven and Hell is here or I meet with a god

Or George Bush is the devil or breathin' is hard

Shit

And death might be the greatest thing to happen

But I’m patient they don’t want me to say it

And radio just won’t play nothin' with a message

Cause the powers that be don’t want our people affected

They don’t want us inspired so they made Public Enemy private

They made Brand Nubian old

They took De La from the Soul

They took the soul from the music we own

Huh?

And you think it’s a coinkidink that ever year we losin' a singer

They don’t think we think

But we don’t, they right

I’m like a deaf composer, a blind playwright

They don’t want me to say something

If you holdin' a hammer than spray somethin'

Can I talk to y’all?

Better yet, can I walk with y’all?

Even better can I march with y’all?

Or can I just say something?

Huh

Can I talk to y’all?

Better yet, can I walk with y’all?

Even better can I march with y’all?

Or can I just say something?

Nah

Fuck it, I ain’t sayin' shit

I ain’t talkin' 'bout the issues, the issues don’t exist

Ain’t no guns in the hood, education is the best

We brought coke over to sell, I ain’t upset

We get time for it, we sell it, we cook it

We hate hearin' speeches, we waitin' for the hook, right?

They don’t want me to say something in the booth like, «Should I say something?»

Nah, water it down

Put a beat on it

Don’t speak on it

Get T-Pain on it

Or Throw Some D’s on it

Or get Akon

I make songs for entertainment

But I keep tryin' to change shit

I come from a country where the thieves had to colonize

And upgrade the slaves to a 3/5th compromise

Wonder why the black man ain’t hole

The same reason rappers can’t go gold

Won’t nobody say nothin'

Can I talk to y’all?

Better yet, can I walk with y’all?

Even better can I march with y’all?

Or can I just say something?

Huh

Can I talk to y’all?

Better yet, can I walk with y’all?

Even better can I march with y’all?

Or can I just say something?

I talk to the teachers in the class they told me

50% of the kids won’t pass like Kobe

But if they tell the principle, the outcome is minimal

You do the math and show me

«And what can you do about it Sha?

Give us computers?

Or come talk to us in the auditorium, straight borin' 'em?»

Little girls switch they hips often

Suckin' dicks off, singin' 'bout lip gloss

And little dudes throwin' sets up

And askin' me, «How can your rap words affect us?»

And I don’t even got an answer for 'em

Say somethin' on record, I can’t chance it on 'em

I gotta tell 'em «Keep doin' what ya doin'.»

I did it, I boosted, I copped it, I moved it, I’m stupid, I’m sorry

I know I’m driftin'

But I ain’t know if you was still listenin'

They said that I should, do poetry so they notice me

Get a chick to sing while I’m spittin', sorta like Floetry

«Conscious rap be annoyin' me.»

That’s what my man said

«I'm glad it’s damn dead.»

I used to fiend for a deal

I used to dream of Lauryn Hill

Cause she said somethin' that people wanted to hear

But she got sad and cut off all of her hair

And she had mine but no one elses ears

Was there when she would say shit

Let’s face it

Eminem never has to fuckin' hold his tongue

So I can speak on how we dyin', I’m the chosen one

Until these flows are done

Until this blood leaves from me I’m spittin' to these dummies

Not suppose to say it, it’s a secret

Like down low brothers that got wives they sleep with

And then hit clubs with thug dudes and creep quick

And then tell you they ain’t gay

Well hey hey hey

They call me «an asshole»

Matter of fact they won’t think that’s a metaphor

I take that back

I’m losin' my fans, but I won’t stop though

This is my plan, dawg I’m gettin' hot yo

All I wanna do is just simple bounce songs

If I say somethin' with Flex drop a bomb?

If I say somethin' with Flex drop a bomb?

Huh?
