[00:00:00] The Science - Murs

[00:00:02] So I'm at the barbershop

[00:00:03] And we talking about this new generation of hip-hop

[00:00:06] And how how lost you all are man

[00:00:08] But y'all have no science

[00:00:10] So here you go

[00:00:11] The systematic knowledge of the physical world

[00:00:13] Gained through observation and experimentation

[00:00:16] Usually beginning with a hypothesis

[00:00:18] Or what some may call an estimation

[00:00:21] Record your results from a series of tests

[00:00:23] And what your left with is a theory at best

[00:00:26] Now let me give my hypothesis an educated guess

[00:00:28] On why my people on the whole seem to be such a mess

[00:00:31] Genocide the deliberate extermination of a race

[00:00:34] Culture or an entire nation

[00:00:36] Centuries ago they brought us here on a boat

[00:00:39] Enslaved us beat us til our spirit was broke

[00:00:41] Then they gave us freedom and a little bit of hope

[00:00:44] Then they killed our leaders and they gave us d**e (crack)

[00:00:47] From the C I A by way of Nicaragua

[00:00:49] Shipped to Rick Ross he's the black godfather

[00:00:52] Now Oscar Blandon was his known supplier

[00:00:54] He snitched on Rick so he could retire

[00:00:57] Ratted on Ricky so he got out quickly

[00:00:59] Now this is where the situation gets a little sticky

[00:01:02] Not a citizen of the U S A

[00:01:04] He got released and got hired by the D E A

[00:01:07] Then he got his green card by the I N S

[00:01:09] But that should've never happened due to previous arrests

[00:01:12] See our government seems to think that there's a difference

[00:01:15] Between powdered coc*ine and crack for instance

[00:01:17] You get five years for five grams of crack

[00:01:20] But in the powdered form you have a hundred times that

[00:01:22] Now who has the rock and who has the powder

[00:01:25] Who's the oppressed and who has the power

[00:01:27] They want you to fail so you wind up in jail

[00:01:30] You know how much they make while you sitti'n in that cell

[00:01:33] Billions of dollars for inmate facilities

[00:01:35] You sell yourself back into slavery willingly

[00:01:38] It's not black and white it's so much more

[00:01:40] It's the rich stayin rich and the poor stayin poor

[00:01:43] The poor white's meth the poor black's crack

[00:01:45] It's not about race and once you realize that

[00:01:48] We as a nation are free to move on

[00:01:50] And become one people a movement strong

[00:02:13] Now black people weren't the first to be enslaved

[00:02:16] We were just the first to be treated this way

[00:02:18] No education you were killed if you could read

[00:02:21] So you hid your intellect if you wanted to succeed

[00:02:24] And what happens to a lie when you livin' it

[00:02:26] You lose sight of who you are and start forgettin' it

[00:02:29] So many of us to this day act ignorant

[00:02:31] A mere shadow of our form of magnificence

[00:02:34] Wellfare

[00:02:35] No independence we become victims dependin' on the system

[00:02:39] Looking for a handout waiting on some help

[00:02:41] Toiling on the past feeling sorry for your self

[00:02:44] But you do what you can to make it out the trap

[00:02:46] And that right there is the origin of rap

[00:02:49] It wasn't always played on every radio station

[00:02:51] It was us makin the best out of a bad situation

[00:02:54] Inner city schools stopped teaching us instruments

[00:02:57] We took turntables and started flippin' it

[00:02:59] Stole electricity from the street lights

[00:03:02] Plugged it into a system and made the beat hype

[00:03:04] There was a mic but MC's weren't rulin'

[00:03:07] It was more 'bout what the DJ was doin'

[00:03:09] He say a few words (GO GO) to keep the party movin'

[00:03:12] The beat boys dancin' to the breaks and the grooves

[00:03:15] An the break was the part where the record broke down

[00:03:17] Where it was just a drum and a couple of sounds

[00:03:20] You had two records you could go back and forth

[00:03:22] To keep the groove goin' cause the break was so short

[00:03:25] Now if that ain't' science I don't know what is

[00:03:27] The ingenuity of these young black kids

[00:03:30] The Bronx New York Central Recita

[00:03:32] Who hurt earth hip-hop true believers

[00:03:35] (Theory) Adversity produces opportunity

[00:03:37] Anythings accomplished through strength and unity

[00:03:40] The fate of the world is in the hip-hop commuity

[00:03:43] The revolution is here and now with you and me

[00:03:49] (Murs is a Scientist)
