(feat. Mary J. Blige)

Check it
See I donât want to say that this is the end
Iâll end by saying this is where weâll begin
Hip hop is a freedom of expression, not a freedom of depression
Can I make my one suggestion?
Look at how weâre labeled gangsta rappers
Is that their only impression? WAKE UP!!!!!
Rappers are craft art in a rapperâs sport
Someone like a game of basketball canât be taught
But yet we accept the name thug
Like thatâs fly
See how they covered our eyes?
Give us names to separate us
Sit back and watch us beef and make us hate us! SAY WHAT!?!?!
Iâm done talking
Mary J. Blige, let âem know this is not a test
I hear you calling
[Mary J. Blige]
What you hear is not a test (Oooh!)
Iâm rocking to the beat (Iâm rocking to the beat)
See me and my crew and my friends
Weâre gonna try to move your feet (Move around, move around)
See I am Mary Blige and Iâd like to say, âHelloâ (Thank you for inviting me)
To the black, to the white, the red and the brown, the purple and yellow.
But first you gottaâŚ
But first you gottaâŚ
