What Is 'Beef'?


" Beef is not what Jay-Z did to Nas/ Beef is when workin' niggaz can't find jobs/ Beef is when crack babys can't find their mom/ cause they're in a pinebox, or locked behind bars/ Beef ain't a summer jam for hot 97/ Beef is the cocaine an aids epedemic/ Beef don't come in a radio edit/ Beef is in the judge thats calling you 'defendant'/ Beef comes with a long jail sentence/ handed down to you in a few short minutes/ Beef is when your girl comes threw for a visit/ talkin about, shes pregnant, by some other nigga/ Beef is high blood pressure an bad credit/ needing a loan for your home, but you're too broke to get it/ Beef is not what famous people do on a mic/ Beef is what George Bush would do in a fight/ When a solider ends his life with his own gun/ Beef is figuring out what to tell his son/ Beef is oil prices an GEO politics/ Beef is Iraq, the West Bank, an Gaza Strip/ Some beef is big, an some beef is small/ But what YOU ALL call beef, is not beef at all/ Beef is real life, happen, every day/ An it's realer then the songs you hear the d.j play.

We are weak minded. The GOV dose what ever they want with OUR MONEY and we dont do shit about it. They take from the poor and give to the rich and our GHETTO schools keep us uneducated and all this GANG SHIT WAS A TRAP TO KEEP US FIGHTING AMONGST EACHOTHER. Divide and concore is the oldest trick in the book all governments use it. And if you do get an organisation that looks to be a threat they decapitate it by taking out the leader. You only think you have a choose and if you believe that then you are weak minded. If you think this country is a democracy then you are week minded. Think about that shit every so often they will let us have a demicratic leader but they make a big deal about stupid shit like getting a b-Jay in the oval office so we dont question any real issues all we do is sit around cracking jokes and being idiots. The REPUBLICANS run this so called DEMICRATIC country.


U RIGHT. I WAS ABOUT TO SAY THE SAME THING. IT SEEMS LIKE WE ALL HAVE A CHOICE, BUT WE REALLY DONT.

ITS ALL A PLACEMENT PLOT. ITS ALWAYS BEEN THOSE WHO 'HAVE', AGAINST THOSE WHO HAVE NEVER 'HAD'. THATS WHY ITS BULLSHIT THAT THEY GOT US FIGHTING AGAINST EACH OTHER, DYING FOR BLOCKS THAT NONE OF US OWN PROPERTY ON. MOMZ IS RENTING. WHILE 'LANDLORDS, JUDGES, POLICE, PUBLIC SCHOOLS, PRISONS, ALL GROW BIGGER.

I think Dead Prez says it best, ' What would you rather have, a lexus or justice, a dream or some substance, a beemer, a necklace....or Freedom? "

ITS BIGGER THEN HIP HOP HIP HOP HIP HOP ITS BIGGER THEN HIP HOP HIP HOP HIP HOP

I dont know if this is for real or not but I heard that Woodie and Lil Rob were going to battle one another in a freestyle. This can not be true is it?

^it was dumb question that has nuttin ta do with this thread.....


anyways...i have to agree wit what Vinn and most cats on here sayin.....we are brainwashed from the beggining.....and if we contnue to let shit go as it is and think we can change shit by voting and other bullshit like that then we remain weak minded.....Mos Defs whole point was that we do be out here trippin off shit that we believe is important to us so why dont we trip off the bigger things that should be important to us???? if you ready ta ride n die for your blocc and your dead homie than you should be wantin to ride on the govt for a lot of fucced up shit they been doin to us and continue to do this very moment.....and if you think that they arent still playin a hand in the gangs and drugs and desease thas spreadin in our nation than you are truly blinded and they already won where you are concerned......so all my real folks preach on and teach the children of Babylon the truth so that when the time comes we all know our place........
