Shocklee - sadler - ridenhourOnce again, this is itTurn it upHere we goBut this time the rhymeGonna ask who did the crimeThen lets get down to the nitty-grittyLike I wanna know whoPicked wilsons pocketAfth, he rocket itFact, he shocked itSame kinna thing they threw at jamesAn what did to redd was a shameThe the black getThe bigger the feds wantA piece of that ... bootyIntentional rape system, like we aintPayed enough in this *****, thats why I dissed themI learned we earned, got no concernInstead we burned so where the hell is our return?Plain and simp the systems a pimpBut I refuse to be a hoWho stole the soul?Aint, no, differentThan in south africaOver here theyll go after ya to steal your soulLike over there they stole our goldYo they say the black dont know how to actcause were waitin for the big paybackBut we know itll never comeThats why I say come and get someWhy when the black move it, jack move outCome to stay jack moves awayAint we all people?How the hell can a color be no good for a neighborhoodHelp, straighten me outcause my tribe gets a funny vibeThey Im wrong for singin a songWithout solutionsAll the dancers answer questionsAnd try to be the best and...Let everybody know before I blowFor the sake of whats rightI wanna know who stole the soul?We choose to use their waysAnd holidays notice some of them are heller daysInvented bye those who never repentedFor the sins within that killed my kinBut thats all rightI try do what a brother doesBut Ill never know if youre my cuzThats why I try my best to uniteAnd damn the rest if they dont like itBanned from many arenasWord from the motherlandHas anybody seen herJack was nimble, jack was quickGot a question for jack ask him40 acres and a mule jackWhere is it whyd you try to fool the blackIt wasnt you, but you pledge allegianceTo the red, white, and blueSucker that stole the soul!
