G Nova Sound - Scott la Rock

I do this for mankind and Hip Hop
Story we heard a million times, Scott La Rock
Hoping I can see my dreams fulfilled, but if not
Don't shoot me down for trynna bring peace, Scott La Rock
When things get hard, hard as a rock
Things get hard sometimes, hard as a rock
Vicious cycle on the verge of having it all, then you drop
Don't shoot me down I'm trynna bring peace, Scott La Rock
When things get hard, hard as a rock
Things get hard sometimes, hard as a rock
Vicious cycle on the verge of having it all, then you drop
Don't shoot me down I'm trynna bring peace, Scott La Rock
It was 1987, call’s 187
Shot range out from project buildings never found the weapon
The devil's outside and he's blocking all my blessings
Them people show up asking, we're deflecting all the questions
It’s not just Scott, why
Happens on every block, try
Understand my perspective, cuz our memory's selective
How we go from being protected
To needing protection from the protection
Now we flipping scriptures formed against me prosper by the weapon
We destroy our own community, then act like we’re about unity
Then tell on the ones we grew up with, in seek of our own impunity
Nigga we sick, seek immunity
But we don’t own shit, we lease our own community
Want the police to quit but can’t police your own community
We losing Gods
Instead of shooting for the star, we shot the stars
I got the words that will move gangs, I’m warning y’all
I bet they’ll drop a boom on the hood if they move to mars
I do this for mankind and Hip Hop
Story we heard a million times, Scott La Rock
Hoping I can see my dreams fulfilled, but if not
Don't shoot me down for trynna bring peace, Scott La Rock
When things get hard, hard as a rock
Things get hard sometimes, hard as a rock
Vicious cycle on the verge of having it all, then you drop
Don't shoot me down I'm trynna bring peace, Scott La Rock
I got a feeling that my people in trouble, who got shot?
I heard they killed Nipsey Hussle, in front his shop
The marathon will continue, it will not stop
But all he wanted was to make a change, Scott La Rock
Niggas killed Stack Bundles, out of hate
And set the whole Far Rock back, it's a disgrace
Cuz she was born in Kingston but that's where my moms was raised
Still feel it in my heart, broken, to this day
So now I’m Stack Bundles Queens fly, stack my bundles Queens high
Stack my bundles for Stack Bundle's legacy, what you mean why
Harlem took an L when Big L died, it’s the same slaves
Death, murder over, whips and chains, I feel disdain
And I haven’t been the same since Young Teddy was slain
Cuz I’ve never met his son but feel the young-yins pain
The men who killed Malcolm X issued apologies
How we glorify Malcolm X but live in hypocrisy
I do this for mankind and Hip Hop
Story we heard a million times, Scott La Rock
Hoping I can see my dreams fulfilled, but if not
Don't shoot me down for trynna bring peace, Scott La Rock
When things get hard, hard as a rock
Things get hard sometimes, hard as a rock
Vicious cycle on the verge of having it all, then you drop
Don't shoot me down I'm trynna bring peace, Scott La Rock
It's like a womb that won't stop bleeding boy
We kill our own profits nigga that's treason boy
It's like a womb that won't stop bleeding boy
We kill our own profits nigga that's treason boy
