Kill A Rapper Lyrics - Hip-hop Lives - Krs One

I don't understand this man 

(It's bullshit) 

Why they can't ever solve the crime Marley? 

Whatever happened with that Scott LaRock case man? 

I don't know 

You wanna get away with murder? Kill a rapper 

You wanna get away with murder? Kill a rapper 

The investigation won't go further, kill a rapper 

You wanna get away with murder? Kill a rapper 

Scott LaRock's a open case, unresolved 

The cops never find the killer, when it's one of ours 

Tupac's a open case, even though 

He was killed in a open place, there's really no haste 

It's sorta like we govern ourselves 

Even though we lack a love for ourselves 

Or is that we know this thug shit sells? 

You want them pockets to swell well 

Even though we know we livin' in hell, what about big L? 

Hold up, let's stop frontin', let me tell you somethin' 

JMJ's dead and the cops don't know nuthin'? 

We gotta open our eyes to this too, this issue 

Lisa 'Left Eye', we miss you 

You wanna get away with murder? Kill a rapper 

You wanna get away with murder? Kill a rapper 

The investigation won't go further, kill a rapper 

You wanna get away with murder? Kill a rapper 

It seems like when a rapper dies, it don't matter 

He simply becomes a poster, somethin' to run after 

A reason for these kids to pull they guns faster 

Tryin' to emulate and be like dead rappers 

I roll with them visionary look-ahead rappers 

From the city to the farm pushin' John Deere tractors 

Bust this, in the city, there is no justice 

The whole system is flawed, how could you trust this? 

Crimes can't seem to be solved when it's one of us 

That's why there's no forgiveness and cats just wanna bust 

Hush, some people take the law into they own hand 

And get burned like touchin' frying pans 

You wanna get away with murder? Kill a rapper 

You wanna get away with murder? Kill a rapper 

The investigation won't go further, kill a rapper 

You wanna get away with murder? Kill a rapper 

Man, we lyin' too much, we dyin' too much 

Mothers cryin' too much, brothers tryin' to touch 

That cash and such, in they hand they want a grand to clutch 

Dissin' they man and such 

But Christopher Wallace is a unresolved murder 

Another one is Mac Dre, I don't know if y'all heard of him 

But word is grim, when it turns to sin 

All hip-hoppers are next of kin 

We face what we supposed to face 

But when it comes to them crimes 

They never seem to close the case 

Yo Marley, uhh, uhh, uhh, uhh 

You wanna get away with murder? Kill a rapper 

You wanna get away with murder? Kill a rapper 

The investigation won't go further, kill a rapper 

You wanna get away with murder? Kill a rapper 

There he go right there 

Son, ain't even worth it, kid
