Rhyme of The Week: Murs, "The Science"

    On his latest CD, Murs For President, the Warner Bros Records MC shows a better understanding of America’s ills than some of the real-life candidates. Listen to the lyrics from his cut “The Science” for proof.

    “The Science”
    MURS
    Murs for President
    …Now let me give my hypothesis, an educated guess
    On why my people on the whole seem to be such a mess
    Genocide, the deliberate extermination of a race, culture, or an entire nation
    Centuries ago they brought us here on a boat
    Enslaved us, beat us til our spirit was broke
    Then they gave us freedom and a little bit of hope
    Then they killed our leaders and they gave us dope (crack)
    From the C.I.A. by way of Nicaragua, shipped to Rick Ross, he’s the black godfather
    Now Oscar Blandon was his known supplier, he snitched on Rick so he could retire
    Ratted on Ricky so he got out quickly, now this is where the situation gets a little sticky
    Not a citizen of the U.S.A. he got released and got hired by the D.E.A.
    The he got his green card by the I.N.S.
    But that should’ve never happened due to previous arrests
    See our government seems to think that there’s a difference
    Between powdered cocaine and crack, for instance
    You get five years for five grams of crack
    But in the powdered form you have a hundred times that
    Now who has the rock, and who has the powder?
    Who’s the oppressed and who has the power?
    They want you to fail so you wind up in jail
    You know how much they make while you sittin in that cell?
    Billions of dollars for inmate facilities
    You sell yourself back into slavery willingly
    Its not black and white, it’s so much more
    It’s the rich stayin rich and the poor stayin poor
    The poor white’s meth, the poor black’s crack
    It’s not about race and once you realize that, we as a nation are free to move on
    And become one people, a movement, strong
