You were [Dm]the illest man alive now

[Am]Eyes so serious,

[Dm]Pursue this rap shit and
go forward never backwards
[Am]While you gripped Tec's tight,

[Verse 7]
[Guru] To all my brothers [Am]doin
time,
whether or not you did the crime
You know the [Dm]system is devised
to keep you deaf dumb and blind
Like [Am]Scarface said,
them cats are smart
In order [Dm]for things to change we
must all play a part
[Am]It's easy for us to blame society
But now [Dm]it's way too late,
and we must take responsibility
[Am]To all my brothers in the streets
I know you [Dm]feel you gotta hustle
cause your peeps gotta eat
[Am]Makin moves right and exact; don't wanna
[Dm]see you layin flat
Don't wanna see ya catch a bullet black
[Am]If we don't build we'll be
destroyed
That's the [Dm]challenge we face in this
race of poor and unemployed
[Am]Freud, a philosopher, but I'm a realist
So [Dm]philosophize this,
without love we won't exist
[Am]To those who passed out there,
in the deserts and the [Dm]jungles
with pain [Am]on their shoulders,
and heavy [Dm]bundles
[Am]I pray each one will,
ascend to new heights and new [Dm]en lightenment
And this is why I'm writin [Am]it
Yeah... this is in memory of
