Intro (A Lesson to Be Learned)
[Intro: Black C]
This Black Chris and Mr. Cee from RBL Posse
And this tape is dedicated to all the fallen soldiers
You might hear drugs and violence on this tape
But don't let it influence you
So peep game
[Interlude: Herm Lewis]
To survive the difficulties of these ghetto circumstances
We must motivate and respect each other
Because the system is causing considerable damage to the Black man
We need God for confidence, protection, and direction
The positive individual is accepted
And the negative individual is totally unaccepted
So come with that acceptable attitude, my brother
Living in this ghetto environment is a challenge every day
So we must organize to survive
The system is out to manipulate you and me
And we better recognize it, because they want us as prisoners
The brothers must organize and respect the next man
Use knowledge and experience to recognize the negative activities that's causing total destruction in our communities
Living and surviving under these unfortunate circumstances
And being Black is difficult
But we have the ability to survive if we organize something positive
And cooperate with each other
We can elevate above the obstacles but we must take a stand and be strong
