Lyric Jfk 2 Lax
Yo
Yo Premier?
Yeah whassup G?
That trip to L.A., may be delayed
Why whassup I m on my way to the airport now
Yeah well your boy Guru got knocked
WHAT?!
I don t know what this is about, sounds crazy man
Somethin about a gun
"The court calls Keith Elam to the stand.
Please approach the bench."
[Guru]
Yo they got me handcuffed, I m down in central booking
Things are fucked up, the way my future s looking
But I m too fly, I ma change this scenario
Make some power moves and tighten up my bankroll
Chumps are leary though, they see me as a threat
I m like the black Dutch Schultz when you get me upset
Five-oh makes me wanna flip, Larry Davis style
Got a nigga depressed, while he s awaitin trial
It s OK though, cause from grey skies comes blue
Through darkness comes light and I be known as the Guru
And this I certify we all should be alerted by
the traps within the system, our youth is gettin murdered by
the D.A. says they got me on a felony
I m tryin to live my life, so what the fuck is you tellin me?
The streets are war, that s what brothers carry weapons for
And I take the weight as I did before
The next thing you know, they got me on the radio
A rapper arrested, suckers showin me on video
Of course I know, that I m a role model
But yo this rap life is real life sometimes it s full throttle
Right now I gotta think about me fuck the industry
You gets no love, except those who support me
What s the story, what happened when I went to L.A.?
Mixin shit up, no not there I got family
Nothin happened, mind your business yo step
You know we connect, JFK 2 LAX
Chorus: Guru
They wanna lock us all up, and throw away the key
Don t wanna see us come up, don t wanna see us makin G s
Long as we know this is the key to our destruction
Let s make moves no discussion
[Guru]
Peace to my man Hass, and Orange Man payin the cost
All the twenty-five to lifers all my brothers gettin tossed
into the system, supposed to rehabilitate
It s why you gotta regulate your own mindstate
Read, study lessons and build your inner power
The next level, doesn t tolerate cowards
For example, I know this rich Nigerian
Powerful American that s proud to be an African
He asked me why do all us brothers be gettin trapped
I told him I d explain it broke it down in a rap
Whether you got naps, braids waves or no hair
Without esteem for yourself nigga, you goin nowhere
And you can swagger like you rule this; Josey Wales
unorganized revolt almost always mostly fails
Give up the savage ways, be effective soldiers
To elevate the mental is to be poor no more
There s war in the streets, prepared men know best
Our rhyme as live as it gets, JFK 2 LAX
They re always makin trouble yo, against the righteous
Killin us in cold blood, those beats those vipers
And as I sit feelin the pain in my wrist
I vow to myself that I ma change this shit
Or at least I gotta try, or part of me will die
And only by action will any ideas solidify
So I inhale, exhale as I ponder
This grown man will make mistakes no longer
I ve been there, I ve seen how they make us fall victim
to their tricknowledgy, with no apology I diss em
And so I rip facts to dope tracks I caress
You re gonna hear about it, from JFK 2 LAX
