The Geto Boys, who are black, have accused Geffen Records of racism and hypocrisy. Buddy Roemer vetoed as unconstitutional, and the adoption by major record companies of a uniform warning label for albums with explicit lyrics.Ī statement from Geffen Records said, in part, ''While it is not imperative that lyrical expressions of even our own Geffen artists reflect the personal values of Geffen Records, the extent to which 'The Geto Boys' album glamorizes and possibly endorses violence, racism and misogyny compels us to encourage Def American to select a distributor with a greater affinity for this musical expression.'' It comes in the wake of the prosecution of the 2 Live Crew, a rap group from Miami, on charges of obscenity an unsuccessful liability suit against the heavy-metal band Judas Priest charging that one of the group's songs caused the suicides of two young men the passage in the Louisiana legislature of a bill requiring labeling of recordings with potentially offensive lyrics, which Gov.

They there to greet you as you pass the gates Maybe now niggas feel me now, picture my pain Lost and crazy, scared to drop a seed hopin' I ain't cursed my babies We military minded soldiers, bustin' shots blindly Since I ain't in many penitentiaries the best revenge is fuck friends Hit us off, give us plenty centuries, forgive my sins
Takin' pictures for the feds, and desperate hopes they'd get us Strange whispers, cowards conversate, so quick to dis us Inhalin' Sherm smoke, visualized the flames
Learnin', duckin' stray shots, bullets be hot, they burnin' Of nasty questions keep us all stressin', curious G'sīackstabbed and bleedin', fuckin' thoughts laced with weed Had a dream of livin' wealthy and makin' it bigĪnd after all my momma's thankin' God for blessin' the childĪll my momma gots to do now is collect it and smileįuck the world as we? and witness furious speeds Stuck inside a ghetto fantasy hopin' it'd changeīut when I focus on reality we broke and in chains To many hassles in my local life, survivin' the strainĪnd a man without a focus, life could drive him insane Turnin' circles in my life came to dealin' cocaine Look back on childhood memories and I'm still feelin' the pain Overlookin' his tomorrows and they finally came? Have you ever seen a nigga who was strong in the game Won't you smile (no doubt, smile for me now) just smileĪnd I can walk you through the days that I done Smile for me (nigga you ain't got nothin' to be worried about) (What ya looking all sad for, nigga you black, smile for me now) Smile for me, won't you smile (smile for me now) Livin' in the projects, broke with no lights on Here's a message to the newborns, waitin' to breatheĪgainst all odds, though life is hard we carry on My childhood years were spent buryin' my peers in the cemetery Wishin' I live my life a legend, immortalized in pictures Sellin' my soul for material wishes, fast cars and bitches Or the repercussions while bustin' on backstabbin' vultures
