For the statements I'm about to make I will not apologize niggaz talk a lot of shit really need to stop the lies jewels rented cars rented homie that aint authentic
actin tough on TV but to me you seem a little timid
don't blame the nigga blame America its all business
actin like a monkey is the only way to sell tickets shit I can dig it, niggas gossip silly digits
white kids buy it its a riot When we talking about pimpin
or sippin on old English brew or whatever they think we do Spraying double Uzis cause you know they think we live in zoos
the problem is with this everyone seems to be real confused the niggaz on the streets to the old people that watch the news
and watch BET and the crazy shit they see
they associate with you do the same shit to me
when you look at me you see just a nigga from the projects but cant understand this niggaz mind set still

I will not apologize I will not apologize I will not apologize I will not apologize its is for all of my peoples who understand and truly recognize, some wont get it for that I wont apologize I will not apologize I will not apologize I will not apologize I will not apologize its is for all of my peoples who understand and truly recognize, some wont get it for that I wont apologize

Yo a revolution's what it's smellin like, it aint gon be televised
governments is hellified, takin cake and sellin pies
I aint got a crust or crumb to get some I'd be well obliged murder is comodified, felon for the second time
never was I into chasing trouble I was followed by it, facing trouble with no alibi I had to swallow pride vilified, victimized, penalized, criticized
ran into some people thas surprised I was still alive
look into my daughter's eyes wonder how can I provide
got to get from A to B but how can I afford to drive? messed around- tried to get a job and wasn't qualified
had to see a pal of mine got to get the lightning rod
now I'm in the black impala looking for the dollar sign palms get to itchin man I gotta get the calamine
'fore I fall behind guess the grind'ill be my 9 to 5
I will not be conquered by it, I will not apologize

I will not apologize I will not apologize I will not apologize I will not apologize its is for all of my peoples who understand and truly recognize, some wont get it for that I wont apologize I will not apologize I will not apologize I will not apologize I will not apologize its is for all of my peoples who understand and truly recognize some wont get it for that I wont apologize
