[Verse 1: Kanye West]
~#**************#~
How we stop the Black Panthers?
~#**************#~
Ronald Reagan cooked up an answer
~#**************#~
You hear that? What Gil Scott was hearin
~#**************#~
When our heroes or heroines got hooked on heroin
~#**************#~
Crack raised the murder rate in D.C. and Maryland
~#**************#~
We invested in that, its like we got Merrill lynched
~#**************#~
And we been hangin from the same tree ever since
~#**************#~
Sometimes, I feel the music is the only medicine
~#**************#~
So we, cook it, cut it, measure it, bag it, sell it
~#**************#~
The fiends cop it, nowadays, they cant tell if
~#**************#~
Thats that good shit, we aint sure, man
~#**************#~
Put the CD on your tongue—yeah, thats pure, man
~#**************#~

[Verse 2: Kanye West]
~#**************#~
From the place where the fathers gone
~#**************#~
The mothers is hardly home
~#**************#~
And the maricons lock us up in the Audy Home
~#**************#~
How the Mexicans say? “We just tryin to party, holmes”
~#**************#~
They wanna pack us all in a box like styrofoam
~#**************#~
Who gave Saddam anthrax?
~#**************#~
George Bush got the answers
~#**************#~
Back in the hood, its a different type of chemical
~#**************#~
Arm & Hammer baking soda, raised they whole quota
~#**************#~
Right when our soldiers, ran for the stove cause…
~#**************#~
Dreams of being Hova
~#**************#~
Went from bein a broke man to bein a dopeman
~#**************#~
To bein the president—look, theres hope, man!
~#**************#~
This that inspiration for the Moes and the Folks, man
~#**************#~
Shorty come and see his momma straight overdosin
~#**************#~
And this is the soundtrack
~#**************#~
This the type of music that you make when you round that

[Outro: Malik Yusef]
~#**************#~
Our Father, give us this day, our daily bread
~#**************#~
Before the feds give us these days and take our daily bread
~#**************#~
See, I done did all this ol bullshit
~#**************#~
And to atone, I throw a lil somethin-somethin on the pulpit
~#**************#~
We took that shit, measured it, and then cooked that shit
~#**************#~
And what we gave back was crack music
~#**************#~
And now, we ooze it through they nooks and crannies
~#**************#~
So our mamas aint got to be they cooks and nannies
~#**************#~
And we gon repo everything they ever took from granny
~#**************#~
Now, the former slaves trade hooks for Grammys
~#**************#~
This dark diction has become Americas addiction
~#**************#~
Those who aint even Black use it
~#**************#~
We gon keep baggin up this here crack music
