(Shh.Ronald Reagan's presence looms so large in gangsta rap, and casts such complicated shadows, that to invoke his name in a rap song is to summon an entire worldview and refer to a constellation of injustices in two syllables. If I say any more they might be at my door They only love the rich, and how they loathe the poor Taking countries is a hobby paid for by the oil lobby We invaded sovereign soil, going after oil Why did Reagan and Obama both go after Qaddafi If you don't believe the theory, then argue with this logic Just another talking head telling lies on teleprompters Just an employee of the country's real masters Ronald Reagan was an actor, not at all a factor That's why they giving drug offenders time in double digits Involuntary servitude and slavery it prohibits You think I am bullshitting, then read the 13th Amendment 'Cause slavery was abolished, unless you are in prison 'Cause free labor is the cornerstone of US economics I guess that that's the privilege of policing for some profitīut thanks to Reaganomics, prisons turned to profits They boots was on our head, they dogs was on our crotchesĪnd they would beat us up if we had diamonds on our watchesĪnd they would take our drugs and money, as they pick our pockets They declared the war on drugs like a war on terrorīut it really did was let the police terrorize whoeverīut mostly black boys, but they would call us 'niggers'Īnd lay us on our belly, while they fingers on they triggers Old enough to understand the shit'll change forever The end of the Reagan Era, I'm like 'leven, twelve, or My heart and my best intentions still tell me that's true, but the facts and the evidence tell me it is not In the 80s when the bricks came on military planesĪ few months ago I told the American people I did not trade arms for hostages.

Just like Oliver North introduced us to cocaine We tell them dope stories, introduce them to the game We exploit the youth, we tell them to join a gang Hand the children death and pretend that its exciting We should be indicted for bullshit we inciting 'Cause all we seem to give them is some balling and some dancingĪnd some talking about our car and imaginary mansions So it seems our people starve from lack of understanding Then who will feed our people when our people need to eat

If none of us on acres, and none of us grow wheat We all talk having greens, but none of us own acres We brag on having bread, but none of us are bakers Will we ever do it big, or keep just settling for little shit The ballot or the bullet, some freedom or some bullshit That no-concessions policy remains in force, despite the wildly speculative and false stories about arms for hostages and alleged ransom payments, we did not, repeat, did not trade weapons or anything else for hostages, nor will we

Our government has a firm policy not to capitulate to terrorist demands.
