Ain’T It Time (That We Took Stock?)
Rapadamus
(Verse-1)
Ain’t it time
That we took stock?
There seems to be a murder now
On every block
We’re suddenly past
The point of voicing shock
Now-a-days be careful
Of where you walk
We’ve been locked down
And we’re going crazy
It’s the aftermath of it all
That tends to amaze me
But there are some people
That it doesn’t even faze see
(Hook)
The victims change
As do the culprits' names
Like the picture frames
But it’s all the same
We all share the blame
For this deadly game
Of let’s kill and maim
And it’s a goddamn shame
(Verse-2)
Lying in the street
Is another mother’s son
One more statistic
From somebody’s gun
While another politician
Is urged to run
To talk a lot of shit
While nothing gets done
The life we save
May be our own
If we can get our kids
Out from the Twilight Zone
Instead of having them feel
Like they’re on their own
Let’s instill some values
Before they’re grown
(Hook)
The victims change
As do the culprits' names
Like the picture frames
But it’s all the same
We all share the blame
For this deadly game
Of let’s kill and maim
And it’s a goddamn shame
(Bridge)
It’s a shame
For obvious reasons
Because we’re not running out
Of our killing seasons
And we’re all to blame
For this blatant malfeasance
A general lack of concern
Has been given credence
Because of the frequency
That our guns go bust
One day we’ll look around
And they’ll be no us
Word to my mother
Believe and trust
(Hook)
The victims change
As do the culprits' names
Like the picture frames
But it’s all the same
We all share the blame
For this deadly game
Of let’s kill and maim
And it’s a goddamn shame
(Verse-3)
I’m on my soapbox
But it ain’t to preach
There are some niggas
That I’m hoping to reach
And some others of you
I’m hoping to teach
Cuz we’re rapidly approaching
Being on the breech
Of standing on the verge
Of getting it on
Like the Funkadelics sing
In their classic song
As if we can no longer tell
Right from wrong
(Hook)
The victims change
As do the culprits' names
Like the picture frames
But it’s all the same
We all share the blame
For this deadly game
Of let’s kill and maim
And it’s a goddamn shame
(Verse-4)
Come on people
What’s it gonna be?
Do we choose the devil
Or the deep blue sea?
Are we still enslaved
Or are we free?
Or are we carrying out
Willie Lynch’s legacy?
The truth of the matter is
The choice is ours
Will blood continue to splatter
And spread like Sars?
Or will we come to our senses
Before we’re sent to Mars?
(Hook)
The victims change
As do the culprits' names
Like the picture frames
But it’s all the same
We all share the blame
For this deadly game
Of let’s kill and maim
And it’s a goddamn shame
(Outro)
Ain’t it time
That we took stock?
There seems to be a murder now
On every block
We’re suddenly past
The point of voicing shock
Now-a-days be careful
Of where you walk
We’ve been locked down
And we’re going crazy
It’s the aftermath of it all
That tends to amaze me
But there are some people
That it doesn’t even faze see
