Nas | Lyrics | I Want to Talk to You

I wanna talk to the Mayor, to the Governor
To the motherfuckin' President
I wanna talk to the FBI and the CIA
And the motherfuckin' Congressman

I wanna talk to the Mayor, to the Governor
To the motherfuckin' President
I wanna talk to the FBI and the CIA
And the motherfuckin' Congressman
Can I talk to ya?

Step up to the White House let me in
What's my reason for bein' I'm ya next to the kin
And we built this m***********
You wanna kill me because my hunger?

Mr. America young black niggaz want ya
I wanna talk to the man understand
Understand this motherfuckin' G pack in my hand
Look what happened to San Fran young girl hit by policeman

Twelve shots up in her dome, damn
Niggaz thought we slept but the architect sent
The Pentagon's from Egypt, Government secret
The 99 to 2G computer shutdown, what now

Extension on Earth, human cut down
Niggaz play with Play Stations, they build a Space Stations
On Mars plottin' civilizations
Dissin' us discriminatin' different racists
Tax payers pay for more jail for black Latin faces

I wanna talk to the Mayor, to the Governor
To the motherfuckin' President
I wanna talk to the FBI and the CIA
And the motherfuckin' Congressman

I wanna talk to the Mayor, to the Governor
To the motherfuckin' President
I wanna talk to the FBI and the CIA
And the motherfuckin' Congressman
Can I talk to ya?

I'm just a black man why y'all made it so hard damn
Niggaz gotta go create his own job
Mr. Mayor imagine this was your backyard
Mr. Governor imagine it's your kids that starved

Imagine your kids gotta sling crack to survive
Swing a mack to be live cardiac and get high
It's the ghetto life yeah, I celebrate it, I live it
And all I got is what you left me with I'ma get it

Now y'all combinin' all the countries we goin' do the same
Combine all the cliques that make one gang
It ain't a black and white thing
It's to make the change, citizens of a higher plane

I wanna talk to the Mayor, to the Governor
To the motherfuckin' President
I wanna talk to the FBI and the CIA
And the motherfuckin' Congressman

I wanna talk to the Mayor, to the Governor
To the motherfuckin' President
I wanna talk to the FBI and the CIA
And the motherfuckin' Congressman
Can I talk to ya?

What y'all waitin' for the world to blow up
Before you hear this rewind this 4 minutes before we timeless
Let y'all niggaz bang my s*** before Saddam hits
Let Nostradamus tell us what time it is

They try to buy us with doe
Fake black leaders of puppets always talkin' 'bout the city budget
The news got it all confused lyin' to the public
They eyes watchin' stay wise move above it

Water floods predicted hurricanes twisters
It's all signs of the Armageddon three sixes
People reverse the system, politics verse religion
Holy war Muslim verse Christians

Niggaz in high places they don't have the balls for this
People in power sit back and watch them slaughter us
Mr. President I assume it was negligence
But your streets are upside down, I'm here to represent this

I wanna talk to the Mayor, to the Governor
To the motherfuckin' President
I wanna talk to the FBI and the CIA
And the motherfuckin' Congressman

I wanna talk to the Mayor, to the Governor
To the motherfuckin' President
I wanna talk to the FBI and the CIA
And the motherfuckin' Congressman
Can I talk to ya?

Can I talk to you Mr. President?
YouknowwhatI'msayin' niggaz tryin' to get with the computers man
