I Ain't Takin No Shorts - Tim Dog

I’m a revolutionist taking to justice

I can’t trust this, so bust this

Build your mind, heal your mind, don’t come steal your mind

'Cause we don’t have time

'Cause if you sleep you can have a nightmare

Black on black crime is everywhere

Pipe that out just love your brother man

Love your brother man from the other motherland

And if society don’t give a damn about you, here’s what you do

Love your mother, yeah

Love your sister, yeah

Love your father, yeah

Love the government?

Huh, why bother!

They don’t care, it’s capitalistic, imperialistic, that’s the realistic

Yo I don’t wanna teach, and I’m in no position to preach

I’m a strong black man with powerful thoughts

Whoooo!

I ain’t takin' no shorts!

People, people, what’s going on?

I’m tired of hearing that sad, sad song

Saying we shall overcome

I gotta overcome, I’m not deaf, blind and dumb

'Cause I’m a true righteous man

On stage I’m the hypest man!

Suckers disrespect my black skin tone

I can hold my own when daddy ain’t home

Word up, on the real tip, hold me back 'cause I’m about to flip

I get wreck, but keep my ledge

civilize I won’t fall off the edge

'Cause I’m hyper and God is my enlightener

And knowledge born equals knowledge cypher

Back up back up, 'cause I’m not new to this

Back up back up, 'cause yo I’m true to this

Teachin' you what I’ve been taught

And remember, I ain’t takin' no shorts!

I ain’t takin' no shorts!

Only strength and

Listen to the words 'cause the message is strong

Raise your fists, if it’s strong and you know it

Pump your fists if you’re proud and you show it

Stay true to God, and to yourself

That’s more than material wealth

Everytime I rhyme I’m filled with frustration

My thoughts are the world my brain is the nation

Get wearier, inferior, exterior

My thoughts react now I’m superior

Peace to the Asiatic black man of course

Yeah, I ain’t takin' no shorts!
