Murder to Excellence
Gabriela Modorcea, Mihaela Modorcea, Shawn Carter, Kasseem Dean, Larry Griffin, Quincy D. Jones, Harvey Mason, Scott Mescudi, Joel Rosenbaum, Caiphus Semenya, Bill Summers, Kanye West
Uh, bloody murder, murder, murder
Bloody murder, murder, murder, murder
Bloody murder, murder, murder, murder
Bloody murder, murder, murder
The paper read "Murder, black-on-black murder"
Paper read "Murder, black-on-black murder" again
This is to the memory of Danroy Henry
Too much enemy fire to catch a friendly
Strays from the same shade nigga, we on the same team
Giving you respect, I expect the same thing
All-black everything, nigga you know my fresh code
I'm out here fighting for you, don't increase my stress load
Niggas watching the throne, very happy to be you
Power to the people, when you see me, see you
And I'm from the murder capital where they murder for capital
Heard about at least three killings this afternoon
Looking at the news like, "Damn I was just with him after school"
No shop class but half the school got a tool
And a "I could die any day"-type attitude
Plus his little brother got shot reppin' his avenue
It's time for us to stop and redefine black power
Forty one souls murdered in fifty hours
The paper read "Murder, black-on-black murder"
The paper read "Murder, black-on-black murder" again, murder again
Is it genocide?
'Cause I can still hear his mama cries
Know the family traumatized
Shots left holes in his face 'bout piranha-sized
The old pastor closed the cold casket
And said the church ain't got enough room for all the tombs
It's a war going on outside we ain't safe from
I feel the pain in my city wherever I go
Three hundred fourteen soldiers died in Iraq
Five hundred and nine died in Chicago
I arrived on the day Fred Hampton died
Uh, real niggas just multiply
And they say by twenty-one I was supposed to die
So I'm out here celebrating my post-demise
If you put crabs in a barrel to insure your survival
You're gon' end up pulling down niggas that look just like you
What up, Blood? What up, cuz? It's all black, I love us
The paper read "Murder, black-on-black murder"
The paper read "Murder, black-on-black murder" again,
"Black-on black murder" again, "black-on-black murder" again
It's a celebration of black excellence, black tie, black Maybachs
Black excellence, opulence, decadence
Tuxes next to the president, I'm present
I dress in Dries and other boutique stores in Paris
In sheepskin coats, I silence the lambs
Do you know who I am, Clarice?
No cheap cologne whenever I "shh-shh"
Success never smelled so sweet
I stink of success, the new black elite
They say my Black Card bears the mark of the beast
I repeat, my religion is the beat
My verse is like church, my Jesus piece
Now please, domino, domino
Only spot a few blacks the higher I go
What's up to Will? Shout out to O
That ain't enough, we gonna need a million more
"Kick in the door" Biggie flow
I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go
Yeah it's all messed up when it's nowhere to go
So we won't take the time out 'til we reach the T-O-P
From parolees to hold G's, sold keys, low keys
We like the promised land of the OG's
In the past if you picture events like a black tie
What the last thing you expect to see? Black guys
What's the life expectancy for black guys?
The system's working effectively, that's why!
I'll be a real man, take care of your son
Every problem you had before this day is now done
New crib, watch a movie 'cause ain't nothin' on the news but the blues
Hit the mall, pick up some Gucci, now ain't nothing new but your shoes
Sunday morning, praise the Lord
You're the girl that Jesus had been saving me for
So let's savor this moment and take it to the floor
Black excellence, truly yours

Looking at the news like, "Damn I was just with him after school"
Schaue die Nachrichten an und denke: „Verdammt, ich war gerade nach der Schule mit ihm“
No shop class but half the school got a tool
Kein Werkunterricht, aber die halbe Schule hat ein Werkzeug
And a "I could die any day"-type attitude
Und eine „Ich könnte jeden Tag sterben“-Einstellung
Plus his little brother got shot reppin' his avenue
Außerdem wurde sein kleiner Bruder erschossen, der seine Avenue repräsentierte
It's time for us to stop and redefine black power
Es ist Zeit für uns aufzuhören und die schwarze Macht neu zu definieren
Forty one souls murdered in fifty hours

'Cause I can still hear his mama cries
Denn ich kann immer noch seine Mutter weinen hören

Weiß, dass die Familie traumatisiert ist
Shots left holes in his face 'bout piranha-sized
Schüsse hinterließen Löcher in seinem Gesicht, etwa Piranha-groß
The old pastor closed the cold casket
Der alte Pastor schloss den kalten Sarg
And said the church ain't got enough room for all the tombs
Und sagte, die Kirche habe nicht genug Platz für all die Gräber
It's a war going on outside we ain't safe from
Es gibt einen Krieg draußen, vor dem wir nicht sicher sind
I feel the pain in my city wherever I go
Ich fühle den Schmerz in meiner Stadt, wo immer ich hingehe
Three hundred fourteen soldiers died in Iraq
Dreihundertvierzehn Soldaten starben im Irak

Ich kam an dem Tag, als Fred Hampton starb
Uh, real niggas just multiply
Äh, echte Niggas vermehren sich einfach
And they say by twenty-one I was supposed to die
Und sie sagen, mit einundzwanzig sollte ich sterben
So I'm out here celebrating my post-demise
Also feiere ich hier draußen mein Nach-Dem-Tod-Sein
If you put crabs in a barrel to insure your survival
Wenn du Krabben in ein Fass steckst, um dein Überleben zu sichern
You're gon' end up pulling down niggas that look just like you
Wirst du am Ende Niggas runterziehen, die genauso aussehen wie du
