My oily room and my first sergeant man
was a Ku Klux Klan. They had the motherfucking Klan right in the
fucking company.
You got to start some place.
We gotta start now getting the troops out of Nam. And we can stop
this fucking hatred and shit that's going on around us. Let me ask you a
question. Let me ask you a question. What have I got to gain
out of this? What the hell do you think I'm fucking here for?
What the hell do you think the rest of us are here for?
For your reason. For your reason.
Now dig this. Your reason for being here is different from my
reason. Your reason is different from mine. Just like
everyone was in there saying bring the troops home. The thing
that's getting me, the thing that gets me, man -- don't, don't get
upset. This is cool, this is cool. We can rap, man.
This is cool.
I don't know man. When there's
white and black people talking, man they go through a thing, man, of not
wanting to say this because they're afraid someone might misinterpret
it. Well, you know, say something, you know, and let me
misinterpret it. And then, you know, when I'm running back on you,
then go ahead and tell me, man. Don't do one of these things, man.
[Bowing] You know I go to school too. Yeah. I go to
school too, man. I live life.
The people that are out there, you
know, they say they're ignorant. But people know a whole lot of
what's going on, man, from just practical living. You dig? I
mean, maybe they don't know those terms in that book, you know, but they
know what the deal is. You gotta show 'em something, man.
You gotta show them something that you
are for real. You gotta suffer, man. You just can't go out
here and run your shit, man, and then don't let no blood and we bleeding
every day. You know, you gotta bleed with us, man. When we
start bleeding together, then you say, "Wow, that cat hurting just like
me." So we gonna get behind this thing and axe that shit that's
out there cutting us, you dig?
You don't realize we got the same
enemy. We have the same enemy. Once we realize that, then
we're gonna win it.
Okay, now you said you went into the
service and you got the enemy because you couldn't get into college, so
you had to go into the army. Now, see, the reason we go in the
army is for a different reason. Now dig, now dig. When we
get out of high school, you dig, we can't jump out there in the
motherfucking street and go get a gig, man. Cause you're black,
you dig? Being black is a deep thing. I know you get tired
of hearing it, but this is the shit that is out there, you dig?
The only way that a brother can live when he get out of school if he
ain't got no smarts is to go in the army, man. To go into the
army. We have only one or two outlets to go, man. You got three or
four. You dig? Just like they're always running that double
standard thing on you, man. So you got those variables. We
don't. See, you can do that change. Even if we decide to
change and try to be a white person, we'd still be a nigger. We'd
be one uncle tom, and motherfucking still be looked down on. You
understand what I'm talking about? We ain't got nowhere to go,
man. That's how come we're so fucking desperate. Because we
ain't got nowhere to go, man. That high visibility is going to
keep you down all the time. So you can always change your mind,
man. You can always go do what the rest of them is doing, if you
want that out there what they doing. You dig?
You know, like I was in there
listening, man. Everybody was running about, "Yeah, this dude is
getting his ear cut off," you know, the atrocities. Everybody in
there, it ain't important, man. You gotta look at how come those
people getting cut up. And how come they're getting shot, man?
That's the whole deal right there. If you want to be real, look at
the reasons why, man. Why? Why? Why? You know, I
do a thing every day. I watch television every time I get the
chance. I don't watch for entertainment. You know what I
watch? I watch all the white-washing they throw on you every day,
man.
