lyrics

[The views expressed on this recording are not solely those of the artist, and by no means do we encourage or condone the violence used by law officials]

Ayo, where I’m from, they got tons of men
Who cheat, steal and sin, tryna take shit like the government
Poke their head in the whip, flash their badge in front of them
Niggas grunting and shit, saying nothing; they punish them
Oh yo, peeps can’t even run in front of them
Cause if one of them blacks run, they all gunning him
Believe that, they got something for your young sons
Cause they all assuming that they know what we doing
On some fast shit, they shoot blacks with automatics
And the fact is, they know they targeting black kids
They do that wack shit, they walk around with that ratchet
They call call you criminal, but they must got it backwards
