The Stoop

[Masta Ace] 
  Yeah, I wish the President would stop lyin' 
  Black babies would stop cryin' 
  And you brothers would stop dyin' 
  I wish the police would stop killin' 
  Politicans stop stealin' and actin' like they not dealin' 
  When they know they got bricks on the street 
  At the country club, fixin' to eat 
  I can see 'em now 
  I wish we'd get this shit figured out 
  And stop goin' the trigger route 
  And actin' all niggered out 
  On the block with the nine cocked 
  I wish we try and stop, stop pushin' for the prime box 
  I wish we wasn't so obsessed with death 
  Tell me is it cuz we blessed with less? 
  I don't know really 
  I wish the world was safer, I'm scared to travel abroad 
  That's why I travel with the Lord 
  I wish a cab would stop for me in the rain 
  I know you wanna call me insane 
  I'm a dreamer

  I wish my pops didn't die when I was seven years old 
  If there's life after death, is Heaven this cold? 
  I wish I could wipe the tears of all the cryin' mothers 
  Wish New York niggas didn't start flyin' colors 
  I wish my people stop avoidin' the truth 
  BET stop poisonin' youth 
  We need changes for teenagers as they go through phases 
  More than just a concrete jungle, the world got green acres 
  I wish I'd been more diligent 
  Smart cats rhyme militant 
  The fresh rhyme ignorant 
  I wish the world didn't give us funny looks 
  Think we all just dummies and crooks 
  Athletes and entertainers singin' hooks 
  We need more black babies that's in the books (read on) 
  I wish God could take away the pain 
  I know you wanna call me insane 
  I'm a dreamer

  I wish I didn't get searched when I come through customs 
  I wish Christians stop beefin' with Muslims 
  Wish the poor didn't have to take welfare 
  Wish America had universal health care 
  Cuz ain't no help here 
  In a country where we don't fight fair 
  The American Dream becomes a nightmare 
  It's all hype here 
  And on this track, bust all I might bear 
  I wish Bush just get out of office (get out!) 
  Before he start World War III and try to off us 
  It won't cost them, but it will cost us 
  And right now, believe me, you lost us
