Freedom Of Speech
Lyrics
[ KM.G ]
Yo, whats happenin, man?
Yo, they tryin to come down on the ATL when whe speak
They say we on a negative tip
Whats up?
[ VERSE 1: Cold 187um ]
Now Ima kick a way-out style thats smoother than usual
Its from Above The Law, so see, its crucial
Hype beats are kickin and rippin, yo, with a funky touch
Its done the Ruthless way, some say its too much
D-o-p-e, please dont misdefine it
Thats the way that I live and, thats the style of my rhyme
Thats on time, just like your watch keeps tickin
(KM.G) on my side, so that my knowledge keeps stickin
Now whats really known as a radio cut?
When you cans say (sh**) and you cant say (f***)
I really think you wanna hear it
But the radio stations, you see, they still gonna fear it
Yo, I thought this country was based upon freedom of speech
Freedom of press, freedom of your own religion
To make your own decision, now thats baloney
Cause if I gotta play by your rules, Im bein phoney
Yo, I got to cater to this person or that person
I got to rhyme for the white or the black person?
Why cant it all be equal?
Music is a universal language for all people
I better get off the rebellious tip
Before somebody out there say Im startin to slip
I aint trippin, Im steadily flowin and throwin
Givin you a dope style
Keepin me on top of the pile
Cause ATLll soon take over the nation
And if you dont wanna hear us, well, change the station
Boo! I sneak in your mind your mind
Sink in your mind, creep from behind
So fast that you wont have time
To deny a brother thats from the streets
Tryin to teach, hopin to reach
Yo, 187s not one thats known to preach
But I wish for each to have freedom of speech
(Congress shall make no law
Respecting an establishment of religion
Or prehibiting the free exercise thereof
Or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press)
[ VERSE 2: Cold 187um ]
Theyll milk you to make it understood
They make it good, so that it taste real good
To you, so see, you fall right in it
Your minds are small, they feed you like infants
Like children theyll bring you along
They say were wrong for makin a rap song
But ATLll hit you straight up jam after jam
Long as we say what we want, make our stamps, we dont give a damn
Those that wanna sell out need to get the f*** out the business
Cause they aint doin nothin but bluffin
Me, I get wild every rhyme I release
Whether I talk about violence or talk about peace
Cause violence is somethin that happens in society
When people are livin low and dont kow where they can go
But peace, I think we all want peace
But its too much to face, and its too far to reach
Whether I say my rhymes fast, slow, sloppy or neat
See, I wish when Im doin, to have freedom of speech
(Congress shall make no law
Respecting an establishment of religion
Or prehibiting the free exercise thereof
Or abridging the freedom of speech or of the press)
[ VERSE 3: Cold 187um ]
Now if they ban me, I dont give a f***
Chalk it up as experience (yeah, bad luck)
Because Im ballin with Laylaws clout
And if he say that it stays, the sh** comes out
Cause in the early days when rap first began
Some fool jumped up and said it soon would end
But nowadays I hear song after song
And it proved to me that the fool was wrong
So yo, cut the bullsh**, all set aside
Its time for the people to realize
About the things that happen in the ghetto which those try to hide
When they know we just strive to survive
(The homie said hed have a job, if youd give him a break)
But when he gets it (he goes by the other mans ways)
Now see, theres just one more thing I have to talk about
bout how they say rap music is turnin kids out
You got to give your child credit for what he can do
Plus the way that theyre raised is really up to you
Rap music, a form of literature
Words and verbs and adjectives
Painted up like a picture
Yo, its gonna hitcha, yo, its gonna getcha
And when Im all finished up, its gonna fitcha
(Hittin the nation) station to station (heavy rotation)
So strong that its keepin the pace, and
We will speak out on any situation
But while were doin
Yo, we gotta have freedom of speech
[ KM.G ]
Yeah - see, thats how we had to do that
Yo, I gotta give it up to all my homeboys
That got freedom of speech
Yo, Cold 187
Ice Cube
MC Ren
The deadly Dr. Dre
Eazy-E
The G-o M-a-c-k
Total Koss housin thangs
Ruthless in the muthaf***in house
Yo, to my homie D.O.C.
And Laylaw with the clout
And we out
