(feat. Jelly Roll)[xzibit]Wassup? We Need To TalkLet Me Light My Backport(lights Up)(exhales)That's Why We Need To Sit DownAnd Talk About The Black And The BrownYo, I Love Los Angeles, You Can Hear It In My MusicPlus I Got The Scars To Prove ItAnd Man.. You Don't Understand What I UnderstandI'm Feelin Like A Piece To A Bigger Plan'cause All I'm Sayin Is The God Honest Truth Of It All, We Fightin The Wrong EnemyThat's Why I'm Gettin Invovled, It's Just Like The End Of That Movie "saw"When Them Two Chained Up Guys Met With Their DemiseAnd The Mastermind Was Layin There The Whole TimeRemember That? That's Why We Have To Sit DownAnd Speak About The Black And The BrownNow I Didn't Come Here To Point No FingersI Know Over The Years That The Pain Still Lingers Over Past ConfrontationsShit We All On Parole And Probation And *****ed Up SituationsAnd Everybody Lose.. From The Pen, To The Neighborhoods, Now It's Even The High Schools'cause I Was Watchin K. Cal NewsWhen The Students Squared Off And One Kid Wouldn't Choose SidesHit With A Hammer And The Kid Died And Now It's A Full Blown RiotTck, That's When The Fists Start FlyinThese Kids Ain't Learnin Shit About Math And ScienceMan..[chorus: Xzibit]Tension Is So Thick, Some Are Comin AroundI Don't Wanna See No More Of Us Up Under The GroundSo Now..
