Artist: KRS-One & Marley Marl Album: Hip Hop Lives Song: Kill a Rapper Typed by: OHHLA Webmaster DJ Flash [Intro] I don't understand this man (it's bullshit) Why they can't ever solve the crime Marley? (Whatever happened with that Scott LaRock case man?) I don't know [Chorus] You wanna get away with murder - KILL A RAPPER You wanna get away with murder - KILL A RAPPER The investigation won't go further - KILL A RAPPER You wanna get away with murder - KILL A RAPPER [KRS-One] Scott LaRock's a open case, unresolved The cops never find the killer, when it's one of ours Tupac's a open case; even though he was killed in a open place there's really no haste It's sorta like we govern ourselves Even though we lack a love for ourselves Or is that we know this thug shit sells? You want them pockets too swell well Even though we know we livin in hell - WHAT ABOUT BIG L? Hold up, let's stop frontin, let me tell you somethin JMJ's dead, and the cops don't know NUTTIN~?! We gotta open our eyes to this too, this issue Lisa 'Left Eye', we miss you [Chorus] [KRS-One] It seems like when a rapper dies it don't matter He simply becomes a poster, somethin to run after A reason for these kids to pull they guns faster Tryin to emulate and be like dead rappers I roll with them visionary look-ahead rappers From the city to the farm pushin John Deere tractors Bust this, in the city, there is no justice The whole system is flawed, how could you trust this? Crimes can't seem to be solved when it's one of us That's why there's no forgiveness and cats just wanna bust Hush, some people take the law into they own hand and get burned like touchin frying pans [Chorus] [KRS-One] Man, we lyin too much, we dyin too much Mothers cryin too much, brothers tryin to touch that cash and such, in they hand they want a grand to clutch Dissin they man and such But Christopher Wallace is a unresolved murder Another one is Mac Dre, I don't know if y'all heard of him, but word is grim, when it turns to sin All hip-hoppers are next of kin We face what we supposed to face But when it comes to them CRIMES, they never seem to CLOSE THE CASE Yo Marley... Uhh, uhh, uhh, uhh [Chorus] (There he go right there!) {*click clack*} (Son ain't even worth it kid)
