Saigon - Drugs lyrics

How is it they can win
A war against terror when
In the ghetto we losing a war against heroin
If you don't believe me look at
Some of those war veterans
Fought for this country and
Still can't afford medicine
President Nixon declared a war on drugs
In retrospect it was more like a war on us
The drug enforcement agents are
Given an occupation
Of making sure they inflating
The prison population
Since 85% of it is Black and Hispanic
It's safe to say it might be a
Result of the crack epidemic isn't it
I think it is
And I can give examples of just
How big that it is
Today it's easier to get blow
Than 40 years ago
If there's a war on drugs then were did it go
They found 2 terrorists all in a row
But can't find who's sneaking drugs
Past the border patrol
Do you expect me to believe this yo
I mean the masses might do but me no
You see some call it genocide
Some call it hatred
I just call it something that
Everyone should relate with

Let's keep real
Sometimes the sun don't shine
Let's keep it real
Sometime a poem don't rhyme
Let's keep it real
Its like we living in a time we
Can't even make up our own mind
Let's keep it real unless a change gon come
Let's keep it real it'll be the same ol song
Let's keep it real if there's a war on drugs
We don't win til there ain't no more

With Rockefeller lost knocked a
Lot of fellas off
Trying to get a slice bread mozzarella sauce
I know none that won but hell that lost
That old drug came with a hell of a cost
You ever stop to think where is the source
Like where are they turning this cocoa
Leaf into something you can snort
How the hell is it coming to New
York and every ghetto in America
Who's this letting this new war
I mean you would of think
With all this counterintelligence
They'd be smarter in hiding
This mountain of evidence
But they ain't got not even
One intention of stopping it
Half of it is politics
Half is somebody profiting
The war on drugs is really the opposite
Should be called drugs on war
Because somebody getting they pockets hit
So that coke on my street and
That weed on your street
Is only there cause they eat
Off it on wall street

Let's keep real
Sometimes the sun don't shine
Let's keep it real
Sometime a poem don't rhyme
Let's keep it real
Its like we living in a time we
Can't even make up our own mind
Let's keep it real unless a change gon come
Let's keep it real it'll be the same ol song
Let's keep it real if there's a war on drugs
We don't win til there ain't no more

I'm clearly a lyricist not
A conspiracy theorist
I just need motherfuckers to hear this
I'm clearly a lyricist not
A conspiracy theorist
I just need motherfuckers to hear this
Yes, see to go to war on
Something is to combat something
And yo I don't see no combat
Or fight on drugs against America

Let's keep real
Sometimes the sun don't shine
Let's keep it real
Sometime a poem don't rhyme
Let's keep it real
Its like we living in a time we
Can't even make up our own mind
Let's keep it real unless a change gon come
Let's keep it real it'll be the same ol song
Let's keep it real if there's a war on drugs
We don't win til there ain't no more
