David Banner - Something Is Wrong Lyrics
(with 9th Wonderfeat. Lisa Ivey)[Rick Sanchez - taken from a CNN interview regarding Derrion Albert:]But what is that? I-I just gotta ask you thoughBecause at that moment (yeah...) where you have that brickOr where you have th-that that two-by-fourAnd you're bus- about to bust the skullOf a fellow human being open with itAnd you're about to crush him or kill him or stomp him or kick himWhen he's on the ground bleeding alreadySOMETHING'S gotta be real WRONG...[Chorus: Lisa Ivey (David Banner)]If you look at all the hurt, look at all the painPeople are DYYYYING and it's SUCH a shaaaame...They know something's wrong (But won't nobody say it)They know something's wrong (But won't nobody say it)They know something's wrong (But won't nobody say it)(I'll put it in a record, but will anybody play it?)[David Banner:]In Chi-Town, D. Albert's laying on the groundHis life bleeds away while other folks stand aroundWe gangstas, but we cain't stop the pain in our townI watched it on the net and that moment was profoundThe OG'z gotta put the BG'z in checkI'm tryna do sum'hin but I need y'all helpWe started gangbangin to protect ourselfNow it's power and respect to kill everything for wealth (wealth).. and it's the same thing in rapYou tell the kids to stay hood and you ain't even in the trapHe ain't never sell dope, he ain't never did timeAnd if you did, why would you want them to walk the same lines? (YEA-AH!)It's like we travel back in timeTook the whip with the crack, now it's black-on-black crimeYeah, we put our cities on the mapBut they call it the trap because most hoods are just that - a trap!YEH![Chorus][David Banner:]Mr. President, you know that some people still racist?Jimmy Carter said it, you didn't have to underplay itHuh, but I guess you got a planPolice is still killin our young black manAh, I meant young black menIt's less of us in college and more us in the pen (in the pen)Huh, I guess it's the devil's denYou ain't trippin, you aight, it's more of our friendsThat's dyin in these streets, so I'm a die over this beatIf I die off in these streets, I'm a let the blood leakWhisper, "God forgive me" - Then bury me in the creeks of MississippiAnd I'm a take the whole world with me like..[Chorus][David Banner:]Women playin men but why do men play women?I saw one in UGG boots and real tight denimsMan, he had Apple Bottoms onSo I walked over to him and I asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"He said, "What's wrong with you?!Ain't nothin wrong with me, this is the life that I chooseThis is what I do" So I said, "What's the use?But if it's man on man, how the hell we reproduce?"Ah, test tube babyHe said, "Uh, David Banner, I remember when he raped meTake me to the bed, binded both legsI blanked out and woke up in a pool of redAh, that changed my whole worldLike that's my stepdad, thought, that I shoulda been a girl"Man, this is more than a songOur kids are dyin fast, there I said it, somethin's wrongYEH![Rick Sanchez:]I agree with you. I think there are people out thereWho could possibly, very well be unsalvageableAnd maybe we as a society started- need to start treating themAs if they are, just that - unsalvageable. [echoes][David Banner:]That's a lie, we gon' save our kids!
