lyrics

Pandemic hit the ends like its aids again
Say goodbye to your loved ones better make amends
Way these white folks talking
They gonna make us slaves again
Yeah they gonna make us slaves again

Helicopters in the sky, following marches
Either they call us assailants or they calling us targets
Pray my sins away today incase tomorrow is promised
Walking road talking code
But I'm living Islamic
Threats on my life
Through text messages twice
Stressing my wife
I wonder how much my head collecting a price
If prayer is the weapon of choice of the believer
Then what's God saying when I'm loading these millimetres
Imagine rapping with truth stuck in my jaw
Nigga walk tall until you ducking the law
I wasn't even old enough to be cuffed in a car
But here we are
Now it's bars I could be giving you scars
3 round burst gotta 3 peat the rifle
Teach the yutes a better way
So they don't repeat the cycle
America taught us violence so we be just like you
your religion capitalism we streets disciples

You ever see a body jolt once a shell hit it
And you know that nigga dead because he smell different
But the crime rate down
We don't believe the lies you tell niggas
Even if it's true interrogation lights melt niggas
Feeling like Nip without the gang affiliation
It's a strange initiation
Fight for change is living dangerous
I used to make a name
Snatching chains and taking bracelets
Escorted through the front
But aint a stranger to the basement nigga
I'm on the block because I have a voice
Violent by nature, I aint have a choice
Pop the pistol southpaw, never miss an opp
They aint testifying I aint sitting in a prison box
But they got our skin weaponized
Every breath is ammunition in their eyes
Its terrorism with a green card
You know its over if I see y'all

Knocking at my door, MAGA hat the oppressor
Talking to detectives Quran on my dresser
Rolling up ICE speaking spanish to test us
Immigration department of corrections collect us
Misquoted in interviews where I'm giving truth
In the open ravishing women Ricky Rude
I can never cry when an officer die
Blow my nose on your flag and toss it aside
Glock by my side cock it and rise
Parabellum cross your T and dot up your eyes
You talking to I in your most garbage of rhymes
You wanna battle Bring your people to watch your demise
Here's some facts handsome and vicious
Your girl pree the gram, romancing my pictures
Cancerous scriptures, rancid delicious
Try to bite what I write
My hands is your dinner
Crippled the last nigga they sent to harm me
At 17 I beat an attempted hommy
You won a prize, free trip to the coroner
Revolutionary but gorgeous
Be on the lookout revolutionary but gorgeous
Hobbes and Said revolutionary but gorgeous
