[00:00.52]Something Is Wrong - David Banner
[00:00.91]But but I just gotta ask you though
[00:02.73]Because at that moment where you have that brick
[00:05.18]Or where you have that that two by four
[00:06.94]And you're bust about to bust the skull
[00:08.73]Of a fellow human being open with it
[00:10.33]And you're about to crush him
[00:11.58]Or kill him or stomp him or kick him
[00:14.05]When he's on the ground bleeding already
[00:16.21]Something's gotta be real wrong
[00:20.23]If you look at all the hurt look at all the pain
[00:26.12]People are dying and it's such a shame
[00:31.82]Said I know something's wrong
[00:33.81]But won't nobody say it)
[00:35.03]I know something's wrong
[00:35.94]But won't nobody say it)
[00:37.78]Said I know something's wrong
[00:38.87]But won't nobody say it)
[00:40.71]I'll put it in a record but will anybody play it )
[00:43.48]In Chi-Town D Albert's laying on the ground
[00:46.03]His life bleeds away while other folks stand around
[00:48.84]We gangstas but we can't stop the pain in our town
[00:51.69]I watched it on the net and that moment was profound
[00:53.76]The OG'z gotta put the BG'z in check
[00:57.18]I'm tryna do sum'hin but I need y'all help
[01:00.01]We started gang bangin' to protect our self
[01:02.78]Now it's power and respect to kill everything for wealth
[01:07.06]And it's the same thing in rap
[01:08.47]You tell the kids to stay hood and you ain't even in the trap
[01:11.42]He ain't never sell dope he ain't never did time
[01:13.88]And if you did why would you want them to walk the same lines
[01:18.02]It's like we travel back in time
[01:19.57]Took the whip with the crack now it's black on black crime
[01:22.85]Yeah we put our cities on the map
[01:25.06]But they call it the trap because most hoods are just that a trap
[01:28.56]If you look at all the hurt look at all the pain
[01:32.78]People are dying and it's such a shame
[01:38.67]Said I know something's wrong
[01:40.72]But won't nobody say it)
[01:41.99]I know something's wrong
[01:43.26]But won't nobody say it)
[01:44.55]Said I know something's wrong
[01:46.03]But won't nobody say it)
[01:47.69]I'll put it in a record but will anybody play it )

[01:52.73]Jimmy Carter said it you didn't have to underplay it
[01:55.84]Huh but I guess you got a plan
[01:58.58]Police is still killin' our young black men
[02:02.05]Ah I meant young black men
[02:04.22]It's less of us in college and more us in the pen in the pen
[02:07.92]Huh I guess it's the devil's den
[02:09.71]You ain't trippin' you alrght it's more of our friends
[02:12.96]That's dyin' in these streets so I'm a die over this beat
[02:15.44]If I die off in these streets still I'm a let the blood leak
[02:18.34]Whisper "God forgive me" then bury me in the creeks of Mississippi
[02:20.89]And I'm a take the whole world with me like
[02:24.00]If you look at all the hurt look at all the pain
[02:28.56]People are dying and it's such a shame
[02:34.46]Said I know something's wrong

[02:40.22]Said I know something's wrong
[02:41.60]But won't nobody say it)
[02:43.18]I'll put it in a record but will anybody play it )
[02:46.22]Women playin' men but why do men play women
[02:48.54]I saw one in UGG boots and real tight denims
[02:52.04]Man he had Apple Bottoms on
[02:53.95]So I walked over to him and I asked "What's wrong What's wrong "
[02:58.05]He said "What's wrong with you
[02:59.79]Ain't nothin' wrong with me this is the life that I choose
[03:02.83]This is what I do so I said "What's the use "
[03:05.51]But if it's man on man how the hell we reproduce
[03:08.91]Ah test tube baby
[03:10.27]He said "Uh David Banner I remember when he raped me
[03:13.62]Take me to the bed binded both legs
[03:16.69]I blanked out and woke up in a pool of red
[03:20.16]Ah that changed my whole world
[03:22.06]Like that's my step dad thought that I shoulda been a girl
[03:25.52]Man this is more than a song
[03:27.90]Our kids are dyin' fast there I said it something's wrong
[03:32.09]But I agree with you though
[03:33.75]I think there are people out there
[03:35.18]Who could possibly very well be unsalvageable
[03:37.88]And maybe we as a society need to start treating them
[03:40.88]As if they are just that unsalvageable
[03:44.49]That's a lie we gon' save our kids
