A slack we slack, it's keeping us back
A slack we slack, no time fe dat, oh wee
Destruction of the black civilization
Let me tell you this
Cause every time I raise my weary hand
I see desolation and I feel despair
Watching my nation going down the drain
Going around as if they just don't care
Still in the streets looking for justice
Losing our life a very heavy price to pay
Lift up your voice and shout for equal rights
They're killing us out, oh yes from day to day
Don't touch the coke nor the crack
That de kind a drug just a keep you back
Watch de gang and de gun
That dey kind a life just a keep we down
Go to school and learn the rule
Let me tell you something, education rule
Got to earn self respect
A good things a come through blood and sweat
Cannot all born fi live a prison
To live by the gun is only suicide
So when wise men speak you better listen
Never too late to take some sound advice
The nation's strength is in the family now
A house that's divided, no can never stand
Brothers take up responsibility
Lead all your children with your precious hand
Destruction of the black civilization
Endangered species don't you know
Destruction of the black civilization
Sho way wa ba da yeah
Don't touch the coke not the crack
That de kind a drug just a keep you back
Watch de gang and de gun
That kind a life just a keep you down
Go to school and learn the rule
Let me tell you something education rule
Got to earn self respect
A good things a come through blood and sweat
Destruction of the black civilization
