(from the album HipRockSoul)
© copyright 2004
CHORUS:
Con-cen-tra-tion, concentration is the name / keep on livin'
or you'll be out the game / subject / we broke in the 'hood
about to go insane / tryna make this change / everybody
sang
Con-cen-tra-tion, concentration is the name / keep on livin'
or you'll be out the game / subject / we stuck in the 'hood
about to go insane / gotta make this change
AHMAD JONES:
That's why I keep my thang on me / and I don't just take
nobody word for it / won't sleep/ 'til I'm in my grave
gettin' dirt poured / gon' keep/ givin' me my paper cause I
work for it / Cali/ to the 3rd Ward/ rally/ we deserve more
/ stack doe / better help yo' hood or we don't stand a
chance / black folk / it's an emergency / don't call an
ambulance/ react slow / it's like they don't care when
Blacks or Mexicans/ die / that ain't love it's hate / I /
gotta concentrate
CHORUS
TENA JONES:
That's why they keep they brains loaded / I'm about this
business when I entertain / quote it/ when I'm finished bet
you say she did her thang / molded/ and I've been refined by
fire in the flame / life/ everyday is hard / fight/ and I
pray to God / me/ naw I ain't gon' just sit here and roll
over / we/ going out on tour and lookin' for some more
Souljas / see/ if we come together y'all ain't nothin' gon'
hold us / yep what I rap is true / put that on 4th Avenue
CHORUS
AHMAD JONES:
Look here I'm worried about my people and concerned about me
/ I ain't tryna make no statement I just yearn to be free /
want us locked on these ghetto blocks permanently / don't
want us thinkin' / that's why they keep us drinkin', burnin'
this weed / hit your remote see 'em promoting sex, murder
and greed / innocent men in the pen who deserve to be freed
/ we ain't animals / we hurtin' / I'ma person that bleed /
won't quit nah/ gotta keep it true/ y'all, what are we gon'
do?
TENA JONES BRIDGE:
It's right in front of me / I see it clear that they don't
want me free / don't want me to get where I wanna be / no
time to be wasting / look what I'm facing/ Concentration
