You can't win, you can't get even
And you can't get out the game
In this land of milk and honey, they done' fucked up the church's money

You knew about it, but what you gon' do about it?
You niggas shout it, but what you gon' do about it?
You ain't about it, all you do is talk about it
You niggas pout it, but what you gon' do about it?
You knew about it, but what you gon' do about it?
You niggas shout it, but what you gon' do about it?
You ain't about it, all you do is talk about it
You niggas pout it, but what you gon' do about it?

Nothing, yeah, niggas just cussin'
Talking 'bout bustin', we know he bluffin'
Mad at the world, pissed-off at his girl
All you do is fester and let this shit swirl
Out first, then emotional outburst, fool
Crying all day till his mouth hurt, fool
Lying all day, what he bout to do
Turn into a motherfuckin' tiger, all out the blue
You a victim of the system
They tricked him, robbed him, slapped him and kicked him
You can catch him in the kitchen
Bitchin' 'bout what he gon' do, but it's all fiction
Lyin' to me, won't bust a grape in a winery
Who you trying to be, Mr. Hero? (Ha-ha)
Pull out your ego, handle your business
What the fuck you telling me for?

You knew about it, but what you gon' do about it?
You niggas shout it, but what you gon' do about it?
You ain't about it, all you do is talk about it
You niggas pout it, but what you gon' do about it?
You knew about it, but what you gon' do about it?
You niggas shout it, but what you gon' do about it?
You ain't about it, all you do is talk about it
You niggas pout it, but what you gon' do about it?

Some of y'all suffer in silence
Some of y'all look through your eyelids
Some of y'all tolerate tyrants
Some of y'all woke up and chose violence
Say less, some wanna protest
Some wanna picket
Others like to unrest
Say it with your chest, but can you bring it like the funk fest?
Can y'all pass the punk test?
Enough of this talkin', when we gon' get it?
I hold a grudge, I must admit it
You a ostrich, move like a hostage
Sit there and let them beat your ass out your profits

You knew about it, but what you gon' do about it?
You niggas shout it, but what you gon' do about it?
You ain't about it, all you do is talk about it
You niggas pout it, but what you gon' do about it?
You knew about it, but what you gon' do about it?
You niggas shout it, but what you gon' do about it?
You ain't about it, all you do is talk about it
You niggas pout it, but what you gon' do about it?

You can't win, you can't get even
And you can't get out the game

Whilst it may not be to everyone's tastes musically, important topics in the lyrics here, and released at the relevant time.
I do certainly appreciate RP offering up a variety of genres and songs within those genres that get people thinking, discussing and adapting.
I support rap on the main mix.  Just like there's the occasional classical piece, jazz tune or rock song. 

More importantly, I support William doing what he wants with his channel.

Diversity? Musicality has many facades, I think.
And actually I haven't heard this anywhere else.
Well I like it but can't sing along. 
Nice for a change.  Keep it up Bill.  
PLEASE create a rap/hiphop mix!!! that way the purists can not complain and the rest of us can still listen!
I paid to get away from this.........too bad.

Well...didn't see that coming.  Nope, not one little bit...
Had to double check I was on Radio Paradise
