lirik lagu the media says – emcee rangus

[intro: sample]
this is why i say that hip hop has done more damage to young african american’s than racism in recent years

[verse 1: emcee rangus]
the media says stuff that doesn’t even make sense
most of the time they just try and be an influence
they just hear things they think they can report about
most of the time without knowledge from the background
some of the time it can all just come around
just like the time they reported about kendrick lamar
it was at the bet awards, up on a vandalized cop car saying, “we gon’ be alright”
the song’s about police brutality
when fox news come out they say it’s all just a tragedy
they think that hip hop is the cause of racism
how could they think that, when it’s all just your opinion?

[sample: 2pac shakur]
“i was talking to people and everything. cause we don’t like black people. alright that’s fine, that’s your opinion. just like i want people to respect my opinion all the time, imma respect your opinion. but i want you to treat me with respect and i’ll treat you with respect and we get along good.”

[verse 2: emcee rangus]
see what i mean just treat people with respect and it’ll all turn good
maybe if you did that it wouldn’t be so bad in the hood
the media doesn’t respect anyone’s opinion
they just wanna report on things that can bring completion
sometimes i come to think, ‘why do they do this?’
i come to the conclusion that they think were all helpless
they can put things in your mind that just don’t make sense
how could racism be caused by hip hop and that just be the end?
if it really was, the shit would be banned
how could it cause it i just don’t understand
fox news got plenty fans that think its all fine
if you think that you won’t even earn a dime
some people need to lift their senses and stop bringing up all these hard expectations

[sample: 2pac shakur]
“half of my fans are white. the white fans, they listen just as much as the black fans. the ones that have approached me are the genuine fans. these are the people that are gonna have jobs in the future, they’re gonna hire my family”

[verse 3: emcee rangus]
as you can hear pac doesn’t care who you are
so why don’t you just give all respect and we’ll hopefully stop this y’all
i know i’m white, i know i may not be the best to talk about this
but if you say that then how isn’t that racist?
really if it comes around at the end of the day all we’re saying in our rap lyrics are things that express our feelings, okay?
successful rappers talk about what there going through
that’s what pac had to defend through all these interviews
pac was an influence to many people
nowadays it sounds like the media’s taking credential
the thing that annoys me the most is how your opinion can change with just one post
none of this would actually matter to me if the media just stopped giving us shitty information it would be g
some of this is personally pretty close to me
how could it be wrong if it’s on the tv?
sometimes you gotta understand that when shit hits the fan you just gotta increase your cave man attention span
in most of the songs that bring up police brutality
all the artist is trying to do is rap reality
but when it comes to people that just don’t understand they go bam
and talk about things that don’t even make sense, man

[sample: 2pac shakur]
“well because we saw the horror, that’s what made us stop the vietnam war. so i thought, that’s what i’m gonna do as an artist, as a rapper, i’m gonna show the most graphic details of what i see in my community and hopefully they’ll stop it, quick.”
