Nas - I Want to Talk to You lyrics

I wanna talk to the mayor, to the governor
To the motherfuckin' president
I wanna talk to the FBI, and the CIA
And the motherfuckin' congressman
I wanna talk to the mayor, to the governor
To the motherfuckin' president
I wanna talk to the FBI, and the CIA
And the motherfuckin' congressman
Can I talk to ya?

Step up to the White House let me in
What's my reason for being
I'm ya next of kin
And we built this motherfucker
You wanna kill me because my hunger?
Mr america young black niggas want ya
I wanna talk to the man, understand?
Understand this motherfuckin' G pack
In my hand look what happened to San Fran
Young girl hit by policeman
Twelve shots up in her dome, damn
Niggas thought we slept but
The architect sent
The Pentagon's from Egypt, government secret
The 99 to 2-G computer shutdown, what now
Extension on Earth, human cutdown
Niggas play with PlayStations
They build a spacestations
On Mars plottin' civilizations
Dissin' us discriminatin' different races
Tax payers pay for more jail
For Black Latin faces

I wanna talk to the mayor, to the governor
To the motherfuckin' president
I wanna talk to the FBI, and the CIA
And the motherfuckin' congressman
I wanna talk to the mayor, to the governor
To the motherfuckin' president
I wanna talk to the FBI, and the CIA
And the motherfuckin' congressman
Can I talk to ya?

I'm just a black man why
Y'all made it so hard, damn
Niggas gotta go create his own job
Mr mayor imagine if this was your backyard
Mr governor imagine if it was
Your kids that starved
Imagine your kids gotta sling
Crack to survive
Swing a mack to be live cardiac to get high
It's the ghetto life
Yeah I celebrate it I live it
And all I got is what you
Left me with I'ma get it
And y'all combinin' all the countries
We goin' do the same
Combine all the cliques to make one gang
It ain't a black and white thing
It's to make the change
Citizens of a higher plane

I wanna talk to the mayor, to the governor
To the motherfuckin' president
I wanna talk to the FBI, and the CIA
And the motherfuckin' congressman
I wanna talk to the mayor, to the governor
To the motherfuckin' president
I wanna talk to the FBI, and the CIA
And the motherfuckin' congressman
Can I talk to ya?

What y'all waitin' for the world to blow up
Before you hear this rewind this
4 minutes before we timeless
Let y'all niggas bang my
Shit before Saddam hit's
Let Nastradamus tell us what time it is
They try to buy us with dough
Fake black leaders of puppets always
Talkin' 'bout the city budget
The news got it all confused
Lyin' to the public
They eyes watchin' stay wise move above it
Water floods predicted, hurricanes, twisters
Its all signs of the Armageddon, three sixes
People reverse the system
Politics verse religion
Holy war, muslim verse christians
Niggas in high places
They don't got the balls for this
People in power sit back and
Watch them slaughter us
Mr president I assume it was negligence
But your streets are upside down
I'm here to represent

I wanna talk to the mayor, to the governor
To the motherfuckin' president
I wanna talk to the FBI, and the CIA
And the motherfuckin' congressman
I wanna talk to the mayor, to the governor
To the motherfuckin' president
I wanna talk to the FBI, and the CIA
And the motherfuckin' congressman
Can I talk to ya?

Can I talk to you Mr president
Niggas tryin to get with the computers
We ain't John Henry
Banging down fuckin'? fighting
Against the machines
We want to be Part of the establishment nigga
That's what we are steppin up for
Ain't no cartoon out here this shit is real
Total Package in this nigga
LES in this nigga ill Will nigga
Mr president wanna keep us from establishment
Niggas are American baby american Made
