• Now I'm not the type that gets upset,
  Try to disrespect folks just to earn respect.
  But learn this fact: whether white or black,
  I can't be conquered in my style of rap.

  So Ricky says nothing, he keeps his cool.

  Just forgiveness required for the wrong that's done.

  I don't mean Jazz when I say I "count base."

  Bumped into my high school teachers,

• Take a look at the police and how they treat you,
  Take a look at these corporations that cheat you.
  Democrats and Republicans are all see-through.

  But to call this a democracy without mock interest
  In the laws of society? That's called hypocrisy.

• Back as kids we used to kiss when we played truth or dare,
  Now she's more sophisticated, highly edu-ma-cated
  Not at all over-rated...I think I need a prayer
  To get in her boots, and it looks rather dry,
  I guess a twinkle in her eye is just a twinkle in her eye.
  Although she's crazy steppin', I'll try to stop her stride,
  'Cause I won't have no more of this passin' me by.
