Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[Am]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 [Dm]a gun[Am]
"The court calls [Dm]Keith
Elam to the stand.
Please approach the [Am]bench."
[G#m][Dm]
[Am]

[Verse 2]
[Dm]
Yo they got [Am]me handcuffed
I'm down in central [Dm]booking
Things are fucked up the way
my future's [Am]looking
But I'm too fly,
I'ma change this scenario
[Dm]Make some power moves and tighten
up my bank[Am]roll
Chumps are leary though,
they see me as a [Dm]threat
I'm like the black Dutch Schultz
when you get me upset
Five-o[Am]h makes makes me want to flip,
Larry Davis style
Got a [Dm]nigga depressed,
while he's awaitin' trial
[Am]It's OK though,
cause from grey skies comes [Dm]blue
Through darkness comes light and I
be known as the [Am]Guru
And this I certify we all should be alerted by
the [Dm]traps within the system,
our youth is gettin' [Am]murdered by
the D.A. says they got
me on a felony
I'm tryin' [Dm]to live my life,
so what the fuck is you [Am]tellin' me?
The streets are war,
that's what brothers carry weapons for
[Dm]And I take the weight as I did before
[Am]The next thing you know,
they got me on the radio
A [Dm]rapper arrested,
suckers showin' me on [Am]video
Of course I know, that I'm a role model
But yo [Dm]this rap life is real life
sometimes it's full [Am]throttle
Right now I gotta think about
me fuck [Dm]the industry
You gets no love,
except those who sup[Am]port me
What's the story,
what happened when I went [Dm]to L.A.?
Mixin' shit up,
no not there I got [Am]family
Nothin' happened,
mind your business yo [Dm]step
You know we connect, JFK 2 LAX

[Verse 3]
They want [Dm]to lock us all up,
and throw away the [Am]key
Don't want to see us come up,
don't want to [Dm]see us makin' G's
Long as we know this is the [Am]key
to our destruction
Let's make moves no
[Dm]discussion

[Verse 4]
Peace to [Am]my man Hass,
and Orange Man payin the cost
All the [Dm]twenty-five to to lifers all
my brothers gettin' [Am]tossed
into the system, supposed to rehabilitate
[Dm]It's why you gotta regulate
your own [Am]mindstate
Read, study lessons and build
your inner power
The [Dm]next level, doesn't [Am]tolerate cowards
For example, I know this rich Nigerian
[Dm]Powerful American that's proud
to be [Am]an African
He asked me why do all
us brothers be gettin' trapped
I [Dm]told him I'd explain it broke
it down in a [Am]rap
Whether you got naps,
braids waves or no [Dm]hair
Without esteem for yourself nigga,
you goin' [Am]nowhere
And you can swagger like
you rule this; Josey Wales
[Dm]un organized revolt almost
always mostly [Am]fails
Give up the savage ways,
be effective soldiers
[Dm]To elevate the mental is to be
poor no more
There's [Am]war in the streets,
prepared men know best
Our rhyme [Dm]as live as it gets,
[Am]JFK 2 LAX
They're always makin' trouble yo,
against the righteous
[Dm]Killin' us in cold blood,
those beats [Am]those vipers
And as I sit feelin' the pain in my wrist
[Dm]I vow to myself that I'ma change this [Am]shit
Or at least I gotta try,
or part of me will [Dm]die
And only by action will any [Am]ideas solidify
So I inhale, exhale as I ponder
[Dm]This grown man will make [Am]mis
takes no longer
I've been there,
I've seen how they make us fall victim
[Dm]to their tricknowledgy, with no
apology I [Am]diss em
And so I rip facts to dope
tracks I caress
You're gonna [Dm]hear about it, [Am]from JFK 2 LAX
