Righteous Talk Lyrics

[Intro]
(Go ahead motherfucker, shit
I don't know man, this motherfucker
First day right, check it out, don't sit on the corner, man
We ain't talkin' bout you, we talkin' bout the same thing, man, motherfucker)

[Killah Priest]
I wanna see what goin' with the Black Market, I mean
Like when I was coming up, it was like, you know
Martin, and Malcolm, you know, I'm, I'm, kinda feeling like
The Black Market is on that energy, and that type of direction, man

[Timbo King]
Yeah, basically, that's like, our forefathers right there
That generation just guided us to what we is right now
So basically, you know, we just moving the unit, knowwhatimean

[Killah Priest]
All right, all right. Slow motion. You know it kill me though
When you got these brothas out here, talkin' bout
They thugs and they gangsta. To me, like Malcolm
Like Malcolm, was a gangsta

[Timbo King]
Yeah, for real
[Killah Priest]
Like Huey P. Newton, now that was a gangsta, Timbo
You know, you reppin', like how ya'll brothas say
Ya'll reppin', ya'll reppin' like that brother?

[Timbo King]
Yo, we reppin'. Like...yo

(Look at old man John right there, man)

[Killah Priest]
I just wanna see more life from you, you got alotta music out there
Everybody running around talkin' bout, they this Unit, and
Knowhatimean, gangsta, and all that, I just wanna see
Some more life in the music, for the babies

[Timbo King]
That's what's it's about, man. We know about that generation right there

[Killah Priest]
Check this out brother I mean, not to cut you off, what I'm sayin', I gotta keep it movin'

[Timbo King]
Yo, you know the saying, it's black people, eat too much grease
Cuz every diner in New York, is controlled by Greeks

Until my sons bust guns, like Paul Robeson
Political rebel, rollin' with a, army of bums
Homeless, individuals, no government funds
Tell Colin Powell, he's forgot where it came from
Drug deals turn sour, the bitter taste of money
The hood, been hoodwinked, we've been labeled as dummies
Education got the youth, like, fuck next period
Rather slang rocks, that's it, period
A rich man, can't walk on the floors of heaven
Fahrenheit 9/11, got ya'll callin' your reverend
Yeah, I said it's wartime, like we fightin' in Baghdad
Women you tryin' to have, I've had that, done bagged that
The blood founder, call me Charles Drew
You need more that F.O.I., to guard you, when I barge through
Producers want to charge 15 g's
Comin' into their studios with 15 G.D.'s
Bite the bullet, put the hit out on the President's head
For all the pain and the bloodshed

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
