KRS-One, Marley Marl - Kill a Rapper lyrics

I don't understand this man (it's bullshit)
Why they can't ever solve the crime Marley?
(Whatever happened with that Scott
LaRock case man?) i don't know

You wanna get away with murder
- KILL A RAPPER
You wanna get away with murder
- KILL A RAPPER
The investigation won't go further
- KILL A RAPPER
You wanna get away with murder
- KILL A RAPPER

Scott LaRock's a open case, unresolved
The cops never find the killer
When it's one of ours
2Pac's a open case even though
He was killed in a open
Place there's really no haste
It's sorta like we govern ourselves
Even though we lack a love for ourselves
Or is that we know this thug shit sells?
You want them pockets too swell well
Even though we know we livin in
Hell - WHAT ABOUT BIG L?
Hold up, let's stop frontin
Let me tell you somethin
JMJ's dead, and the cops don't know NUTTIN'?!
We gotta open our eyes to this too
This issue lisa 'Left Eye', we miss you

It seems like when a rapper
Dies it don't matter
He simply becomes a poster
Somethin to run after
A reason for these kids to
Pull they guns faster
Tryin to emulate and be like dead rappers
I roll with them visionary look ahead rappers
From the city to the farm
Pushin John Deere tractors
Bust this, in the city, there is no justice
The whole system is flawed
How could you trust this?
Crimes can't seem to be solved
When it's one of us
That's why there's no forgiveness and
Cats just wanna bust
Hush, some people take the law
Into they own hand
And get burned like touchin frying pans


Man, we lyin too much, we dyin too much
Mothers cryin too much
Brothers tryin to touch that cash and such
In they hand they want a grand to clutch
Dissin they man and such
But Christopher Wallace is
A unresolved murder another one is Mac Dre
I don't know if y'all heard of
Him, but word is grim, when it turns to sin
All hip-hoppers are next of kin
We face what we supposed to face
But when it comes to them CRIMES
They never seem to CLOSE THE CASE yo Marley
Uhh, uhh, uhh, uhh
