How many times have you watched the sun rise?
How many times have you looked deep into your lover's eyes?
How many times have we spit fat rhymes?
How many times? How many times?

Yo, how many rhymes would it take just for you to relate
And overstand that we livin' in a police state?
How many? A pretty penny, I would guess
Nonetheless, media got us all desensitized, under stress
How many tales of a war shore to shore
Before the last days is here, that's for sure?
How many days before we get more mature
And brothers with babies start takin' care of they ladies?
How many mics get crushed, blown to dust
Before we discover the true power within us?
Yo, how many times can we rhyme about the same thing
'Fore we realize, stand up, we got to change things?

How many times have you seen the sun set?
How many times has your ass been in debt?
How many times have you bumped our cassette?
How many times? How many times?

Yo, how many times will the seasons turn for Babylon?
Burned, it's my own concern to carry on
Traditional, listen yo, how many blood and tears
Were shed by my people for over four hundred years?
How many times have you lied or cheated, acted conceited?
Didn't need it, you want it, how many times runnin'?
How many scars and cuts, bruises from the battle
For those who got beef, how many ever seen cattle
Killed in cold blood for you to eat it up?
How much more 'til somebody say, "That's enough"?
How many times have you watched the full moon?
How many times you cried alone in your room?
How many times have you felt the bass boom?
How many times? How many times?

Yo, how many more of the hardcore rappers and gun clappers
Gotta die before we realize InI?
How many chains and shackles, how much 'caine and tobacco?
How many bottles of 40 oz. death can we tackle?
How many at the chapel? How many will be saved?
When fires rage, surface of Earth is gettin' grazed
How many? 'Cause everyone got an opinion
This is just the InI crew expressin' some
How many times has a baby been born?
How many times has lightning struck in a storm?
How many times has your word been born?
How many times? How many times?

Yo, how many live in the projects?
How many had sex before they fell in love?
How many people forget where they came from?
I seen some people get lost
How many brothers get accused and hung on the cross?
How many children get neglected? How many get raised?
In the land of the empty, the home of the slave
How many times can we rhyme about the same thing
'Fore we realize, stand up, we got to change things?
How many times has the sky dropped rain?
How many times has your heart felt pain?
How many times? I've asked again and again
How many times? How many times?

How many times have you seen the sun rise?
How many times you looked into your lover's eyes?
How many times have we spit fat rhymes?
How many times? How many times?
How many times have you seen the sun set?
How many times has your ass been in debt?
How many times have you bumped our cassette?
How many times? How many times?
How many times have you watched the moon rise?
How many times has the sky dropped rain?
How many times has your heart felt pain?
How many times? How many times?
How many times have you seen the sun set?
How many times has your ass been in debt?
How many times have you bumped our cassette?
How many times? How many times?

How long? How long?
How long?
How long will this bullshit go on?
