2Pac (Who Do U Believe In):

I see mothers in black cryin, brothers in packs dyin

Plus everybody’s high, too doped up to ask why

Watchin our own downfall, witness the end

It’s like we don’t believe in God cause we livin in sin

I asked my homie on the block why he strapped, he laughed

Pointed his pistol as the cop car passed and blast

It’s just another murder, nobody mourns no more

My tear drops gettin bigger but can’t figure what I’m cryin for

Is it the miniature caskets, little babies

Victims of a stray, from drug dealers gone crazy

Maybe it’s just the drugs, visions of how the block was

Crack came and it was strange how it rocked us

Perhaps the underlyin fact they hide explain genocide

It’s when we ride on our own kind

What is it we all fear, reflections in the mirror

We can’t escape fate, the end is gettin nearer

 

Mobb Deep (Skook Ones):

You’re all alone in these streets, cousin

Every man for theirself in this land we be gunnin

Another nigga deceased, another story gets told

It ain’t nuttin really, ay yo dun, fuck the Philly

You’re all alone in this streets, cousin

Every man for theirself in this land we be gunnin

Diamonds and guns

…

 

Nas (Fugees – If I Rule The World):

Imagine smoking weed in the streets without cops harassin

Imagine going to court with no trial

Lifestyle cruising blue behind my waters

No welfare supporters more conscious of the way we raise our daughters

Days are shorter, nights are colder

Feeling like life is over, these snakes strike like a cobra

The world’s hot my son got not evidently

It’s elementary, they want us all gone eventually

Trooping out of state for a plate knowledge

Of coke was cooked without the garbage we’d all have the top dollars

Imagine everybody flashin, fashion

Designer clothes, lacing your click up with diamond vogues

Your people holdin dough, no parole

No rubbers, go in raw imagine law with no undercovers

Just some thoughts for the mind

I take a glimpse into the time

Watch the blimp read “The world is mine”

 

Mobb Deep (Skook Ones):

You’re all alone in these streets, cousin

Every man for theirself in this land we be gunnin

Another nigga deceased, another story gets told

It ain’t nuttin really, ay yo dun, fuck the Philly

You’re all alone in this streets, cousin

Every man for theirself in this land we be gunnin

Diamonds and guns

…

 

Obie Trice (Shit Hits The Fan):

They say why don’t we increase the peace

The only peace increased is that which deletes your peeps

Cuz niggaz run mouths but they don’t run streets

Till that 4 5 will cease the speech

Yeah it’s a shame how we beef’ll creep

Could’ve reached the peep, now you’re left with a horrible leak

I’m tryin to be as bleak with my speech as possible

Just in case a nigga tryin to throw me an obstacle

Nigga, I’m not boxin you, I’m hospitable

I put you in a hospital, that’s how I get at you

Let the doc op on you, he don’t rid you

You back on the streets I send another hit at you

This is not a hypocritical issue

I will critical condition your tissue

Give a fuck if all ten of them wit you

I throw an extra ten of them missiles

Turn gangstas into gentlemen vicko

 

Mobb Deep (Skook Ones):

You’re all alone in these streets, cousin

Every man for theirself in this land we be gunnin

Another nigga deceased, another story gets told

It ain’t nuttin really, ay yo dun, fuck the Philly

You’re all alone in this streets, cousin

Every man for theirself in this land we be gunnin

Diamonds and guns

Ladies and gentlemen...I'm only going to talk to you just for a minute or so this evening because I have some very sad news for all of you and I think sad news for all of our fellow citizens and people who love peace all over the world ...and that is that Martin Luther King was shot and was killed tonight
