Government of Embarresment

2pac said we need some changes
am i the only one hopin to change it
tryna leave a diffrent message to the one i came wit
when the government empty there brains quick
without puttin any thought into it
mixed rap and polotics the truth i brought into this

i kept it real
rappers may gat a advance on record deals
u may say we get paid to much
we work hard and make the effort still
why should we take a cut
when the government just make stuff up

talk bout the war that they plan to ban
thn they send more soldiers to afghanistan
so we continue to get threats from terrorists
soldiers shud get same pay as footballers and therapists
does the government understand the hurt we feel
when we turn on the news and see another thirty killed

now i understand how parents might fear 
made me sick baby ps mom only got five years
tryna make sure justice is done right here
losin is strictly off limits
feel like martin luther king i have a dream
but in mine pixie lotts in it

government of embarrasment call this my antididestablishmentarianism
when it comes to my assasanation u can stand by the accident bury me wiv em
weather i get stabbed down
and u blame it on me not havin my dad around
maybe ill get fifty shots
by a jealous dude over my rhymes bout pixie lott

maybe my heart fails
that wont be what the cards tell
couldnt leave my troubels behind me
parents wernt there to cuddle and mind me
growin up in care
love struggeld to find me

moved all over in da nation
had 2 overcome the discrimination
kids in care end up dead or in jail
they already put it in my head that ill fail
poloticians say they negotiate the truth
truth is they over hate the youth

we turn on da tv and see another thug killin
and see a rise in kids drug dealin
painis temporary
victorys forever
lets put the bull to one side
and make history together
