f/ Culture



[Intro: Cappadonna]

Whateva, whateva man

I'm here to represent G-O-D to the fullest

I got a message man, and the message is straighten up

Or get eatin up



[Culture]

All mighty God is with us (2X)



[Chorus 2X: Cappadonna ]

Save the children, these streets is like a villain

Life is like a chop shop inside of the buildin

Save the children, these streets is like a villain

Save the children, let the blood stop spillin



[Cappadonna]

Roses are red, violets are blue, this life is about me and you

Not the red, white and the untrue, together we stand

Divided we stand tall, final call, God save us all from the gates of Hell

Where my young family dwell, it was a tall well

While we still suffer, days are gettin tougher

Jake on the prowl, treatin people on the street foul

Some of them mean well, but they all live behind the shell

Kick my door down, without ringin my bell

Claim I'm sellin crack, but I ain't doin that

All I do is rap, I'm a real MC, trynna get my life back

Devils'll make it difficult, there it glow within the cult

Can't wait to cut my throat, cuz of how I speak

Too black for Hot 97, last year they put me on hold

But I still went gold, where the joy go?

What happened to the +Black Boy+ video?

Bring +Run+ back, y'all scared of Cap

Sleepwalkers can't roll wit the blacks



[Chorus 1.5X]



[Culture]

See the man dem him, he went from nice to true drunko

Now me speak the truth and a man just a den dead

Wit the children, when I told you I be on the outside

I can't trust with him, not pity on the outside

I'm hung it with him, tell him that I carry

Tell dem save the children

You sold your bread, I sold my bread

So ya meet my new friend, Mr. Up-On-The-Ten

Then are ready to bust, let me load again

And the play gon sting, just like stealth bomber

Refuel the jet, because me loose me venom

Jewels we do, and refuse not to sin

And when I come hotter, don't work for Jah

Hittin though we gettin, well that's the word is dark

Brother gettin children, some lovin the hard



[Chorus 2X]



[Culture]

A mighty God is with us



[Cappadonna]

Intelligent minds, encounters of the third kind

Trapped behind enemy lines, youth life on the line

Devils keepin us blind if it wasn't for Divine

Contracts wouldn't be signed, save the children

It's like a chop shop inside the buildin

No second guessin, I'm confessin

In the club females are undressin

Little ones with the sexual affection need correction too

For too many years, shippin us upstate

Plantin drugs on us, the children ain't safe

Broke down our families, then they build gates

Sow holes in our brain like life is an earthquake

Stole our language so we couldn't meditate

Even in the schools where the teachers taught hate

Falsify history, everythin is fake

Use your third eye when you dealin with snakes

Let freedom ring, Born Love Allah, see the king

Save the children is the song I sing

While I'm layin in the struggle absorbin the sun rays

Holdin the children in the last days

We're livin like slaves, modern day style

Save the children, make em cry for me now

Save the children, make em cry for me now



[Outro: Culture]

Cry for me now, no sight killin

Yagga yaw, them try kill me now

Yagga yaw, dem cry for me now

Save the children, Dem cry for me now

Ya all pigs, you nah

You ya, yea yea, God is with us

Bad man nah know, cry for me now, blaow!



[Skit Outro: Cappadonna (?)]

Yo, man, I ain't got nothin to say to ya niggas, man

Word up, just get the album or get the fuck lost

(Be like, fuck it I'm done)

Yeah, (God bless, good night)
