Something Is Wrong

[Rick Sanchez - taken from a CNN interview regarding Derrion Albert:]But what is that? I-I just gotta ask you though

Because at that moment (yeah...) where you have that brick

Or where you have th-that that two-by-four

And you're bus- about to bust the skull

Of a fellow human being open with it

And you're about to crush him or kill him or stomp him or kick him

When he's on the ground bleeding already

SOMETHING'S gotta be real WRONG...

[Chorus: Lisa Ivey (David Banner)]If you look at all the hurt, look at all the pain

People are DYYYYING and it's SUCH a shaaaame...

They know something's wrong (But won't nobody say it)

They know something's wrong (But won't nobody say it)

They know something's wrong (But won't nobody say it)

(I'll put it in a record, but will anybody play it?)

[David Banner:]In Chi-Town, D. Albert's laying on the ground

His life bleeds away while other folks stand around

We gangstas, but we cain't stop the pain in our town

I watched it on the net and that moment was profound

The OG'z gotta put the BG'z in check

I'm tryna do sum'hin but I need y'all help

We started gangbangin to protect ourself

Now it's power and respect to kill everything for wealth (wealth)

.. and it's the same thing in rap

You tell the kids to stay hood and you ain't even in the trap

He ain't never sell dope, he ain't never did time

And if you did, why would you want them to walk the same lines? (YEA-AH!)

It's like we travel back in time

Took the whip with the crack, now it's black-on-black crime

Yeah, we put our cities on the map

But they call it the trap because most hoods are just that - a trap!

YEH!

[Chorus][David Banner:]Mr. President, you know that some people still racist?

Jimmy Carter said it, you didn't have to underplay it

Huh, but I guess you got a plan

Police is still killin our young black man

Ah, I meant young black men

It's less of us in college and more us in the pen (in the pen)

Huh, I guess it's the devil's den

You ain't trippin, you aight, it's more of our friends

That's dyin in these streets, so I'm a die over this beat

If I die off in these streets, I'm a let the blood leak

Whisper, "God forgive me" - Then bury me in the creeks of Mississippi

And I'm a take the whole world with me like..

[Chorus][David Banner:]Women playin men but why do men play women?

I saw one in UGG boots and real tight denims

Man, he had Apple Bottoms on

So I walked over to him and I asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

He said, "What's wrong with you?!

Ain't nothin wrong with me, this is the life that I choose

This is what I do" So I said, "What's the use?

But if it's man on man, how the hell we reproduce?"

Ah, test tube baby

He said, "Uh, David Banner, I remember when he raped me

Take me to the bed, binded both legs

I blanked out and woke up in a pool of red

Ah, that changed my whole world

Like that's my stepdad, thought, that I shoulda been a girl"

Man, this is more than a song

Our kids are dyin fast, there I said it, somethin's wrong

YEH!

[Rick Sanchez:]I agree with you. I think there are people out there

Who could possibly, very well be unsalvageable

And maybe we as a society started- need to start treating them

As if they are, just that - unsalvageable. [echoes]

[David Banner:]That's a lie, we gon' save our kids!

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
