Beat: Chuck D. - He Got Game 
Typed By: Lore 

A house of sticks never blown down witout the force of a hundred 
clans fightin over who's divorcin, which wife and which husband 
Polygamy is a reality, hyper extended families 
Perceive us as uncivilized and u'll find u behind, we survive 
at this moment a hmong blooded poet sits under the night sky 
I wonder who's gonna step up and be the solution 
Provin we do exist, the Lost Oriental Race in Evolution 
but Endless is the struggle to get out the tunnel 
Too many of us are still stuck in our third world 
We could take the spot of Tupac and say us versus the world 
keepin my thoughts open thats why my verses stay thorough 
Its a strange thang that so many of these fools wanna gangbang 
Our pops stopped poppin shots now u go start the same thang 
But who am i to criticize How u go about wit ur lives, ill advised 
Fuck phat whips i just want the realest mind and for u to feel this rhyme 
H-M-o-n-g, evolution takes time, one missed chance we still got nine 
recognize the line, let it divide 
between the truth and lies, and let em know u got pride 


chorus: 
It might feel good, it might sound a lil somthin 
but damn ur pride if it dont mean nothin 
Wut is pride? who got pride? 
wheres ur pride in life, behind the pride behind the pride 
I got pride, she got pride 
he got pride, they got pride 
we got pride 
It might feel good, it might sound a lil somthin 
but fuck ur pride if it aint reppin nothin 

I rob thieves and deceive liars, however far i get no need to admire 
this rap thing's just a passion, never start the game, never retire 
keep ur head up 
and turn away from the politics thats got 'em shit but mobs of pricks and hypocrites 
There's more to this culture than just the War, everything before 
Knowledge in depth, our history's now in text, 
in peace the deceased rest, opium led to disease and death 
How many wanna make it? we could take over computers and the whole nation 
No more quilts and fabrics, lifetime supply of lights for the nicotine addicts 
give these boy bands singin classes and make em practice 
sooner or later we'd have our own land on the atlas 
No more Nav lauv kauj to make u drop the soap 
Fuck royalty and a king, I'd bring Yawg ntsuab vaj to come run the whole thing 
Eliminate illogical tradition, open up the chance for knowledge to women 
Get the L-A-O-S off ur chest, let it rest desolate in the absence of our steps 
Whether u green or white hmong, its for all peops that i write prose 
I'm speakin ideal but we got potential, it maybe so 
As long as u dont give up til u hear Kwv txhiaj on the radio 
(and if u dont know, now ya know) 

..... 
I dont know if uall biased and only into that thuggish ish 
but I know that those who aint true hip hop heads aint gonna feel this rhyme 
Its up to yall of course if uall wanna post it 
Much thanks 
peace out
