[00:01.00] 作曲 : Saul Williams/Darryl Jenifer/Gary Miller
[00:07.83]I'm fallin' up flights of stairs
[00:09.66]Scrapin' myself from the sidewalk
[00:11.64]Jumpin' from rivers to bridges
[00:13.32]Drownin' in pure air
[00:15.15]Hip hop is lyin' on the side of the road
[00:17.25]Half dead to itself
[00:18.63]Blood scrawled over its mangled flesh like jazz
[00:21.60]Stuffed into an over sized record bag
[00:23.79]Tuba lips swollen beyond recognition
[00:26.10]Diamond-studded teeth strewn like rice at
[00:28.44]Karma's wedding
[00:29.49]The ring bearer bore bad news
[00:31.38]Minister of
[00:32.01]Information wrote the wrong proclamation
[00:34.11]An' now everyone's singin' the wrong song
[00:36.30]Dissonant chords find necks like nooses
[00:38.70]That bitch kicked the chair from under my feet
[00:41.31]Harlem shakin' from a rope but still on beat
[00:43.83]Damn, that loop is tight
[00:45.24]That bitch found a way to sample the way the truth the light
[00:48.21]Can't wait to play myself at the party tonight
[00:50.67]Niggas are gonna die
[00:52.02]Cop car swerves to the side of the road
[00:54.33]Hip hop takes its last breath
[00:56.07]The cop scrawls vernacular manslaughter on a yellow pad
[00:59.19]Then balls the paper into his hand decidin' he'd rather freestyle"You have the right to remain silent""You have the right to remain silent"
[01:06.63]An' maybe you should have, maybe you should have
[01:08.76]Before your bullshit manifeste
[01:10.62]These thugs can't **** with me, they're too thugged out
[01:13.08]Niggas think
[01:14.43]I'm bugged out 'cause
[01:15.48]I ain't Sean
[01:15.84]John or Lugged out
[01:16.83]This ain't hip hop no more, son, it's bigger than that
[01:20.19]This ain't ghetto no more, black, it's bigger than black
[01:23.31]So where my aliens at?
[01:24.93]Girl, we all illegal
[01:27.15]This system ain't for us, it's for rich people
[01:30.54]An' you ain't rich, dawg, you just got money
[01:33.90]But you can't buy shit to not get hungry

[01:49.74]That they were once slaves and have neglected
[01:51.87]The occasion of this ceremony, stop
[01:54.24]Perhaps we should not have encouraged them
[01:55.74]To use cordless microphones

[03:04.86]I purr purple
[03:06.03]Sold, increased, toe shell like a turtle
[03:09.51]I walk the streets like the lie that
[03:12.03]I'm tellin'
[03:12.69]One listener grips me and starts yellin'
[03:16.20]I see through speakers,
[03:17.91]I speak what's seen
[03:19.53]I eat and shed,
[03:21.24]I sleep and dream
[03:23.04]I walk the streets of
[03:24.06]London like, "'Know what I mean?"
[03:26.40]An' chillin' rack a momma, eatin' crib soy beans
[03:29.46]It's like that
