Boogie Down Productions - Drug Dealer lyrics
[Boogie Down Productions - Drug Dealer lyrics]
All over the world
Black drug dealer, you have to wise up
And organize your business so that
We can rise up
If you're gonna sell crack then
Don't be a fool
Organize your money and open up a school
Drug dealer, understand historical fact
Every race got ahead from
Sellin' drugs except Black
We are under attack
Here comes another cold fact
In the '30s and '40s a
Drug dealer wasn't black
They were Jewish, Italian, Irish, Polish
Etc etc now in '90 their life's a lot better
They'll sell you a sweater, a pair of pants
Cold hearted
But first sellin drugs and killin'
People is how they started
Drug dealer, black and Hispanic
Stop killin' one another
Cause in the ghetto we're all brothers
Organized economically
Understand the psychology
America is the drug monopoly
They own the block and kill your brother for
Therefore, we got the same
Enemy - what's more, i go on tour
But who do you think picks up the bill?
A hard working fireman? Chill!
Drug dealer drug dealer
Eighty percent of American business
Is created illegally this is a fact
I don't ask you to believe in me
If you're really in the drug game to win it
Eventually you're gonna get shot
Open a clinic again, if you're really in the
Drug game to win it invest in a prison
Therefore you can be put in it
Everyone else did it now they chillin'
Above the law
While your under the law still killin'
One another, wake up my Hispanic brother
My African brother america's not your mother
Or your father
So don't bother with right or wrong
Just check out the logic in the song
Organize, realize, become unhypnotized
To the lies that you're livin'
For the get high
See many people have forgotten the fact
That America was never ever built for Black
So when some people are gonna
Run and buy crack
Take the money and put it back into Black
It's only logic, see KRS-One will rock it
With knowledge
Education for the people I'll never stop it
Organize and legitimize your business
Remember, everybody else did this
Drug dealer drug dealer
Drug dealer drug dealer
Drug dealer
Black drug dealer, you have to wise up
And organize your business so that
