[Hook: Quavo]
Black man, drop top
There go the cops, there go the cops, there go the cops
Is it because of my people?
Is it because of my sneakers?
Is it because of my jersey?
It is because that I'm perfect?
[Verse 1: Quavo]
Ridin' down 85, three in the morning
Why you pull me over saying you smell marijuana? (smellin' the gas)
I said I got a ID I got a Glock on me (I got ID)
He said we ain't in Cali n***a get out throw your hands up
Runnin' real hard shook the taser, shook the taser
Runnin' real hard shook the taser, shook the taser
I told he can we split it can we shake 'em
n***a hit my phone when you made it (brrp)
Out of here, PJ to Jamaica
Naw I ain't tell ya wrong, get the paper
Been fighting too long against haters
My attitude, yeah I'm going for the shaders
[Verse 2: Rara]
Live from the cracks of the concrete
12 try to take a n***a off the street
Make your gun sound out for Mike Brown
Take a n***a life when you face down
Hoodie gang strong like Trayvon
Gun by the window like the (?)
Bring that sh** by the neck of my woods and bet a n***a a** end up dead
Pig in a blanket
f** was you thinking?
Free that n***a Boosie
Running at the police
Love him with a (?)
Right inside of VC
Tryna keep a Phantom like DC
Hangout the G like free Meek
k** a n***a reaching for a cell phone
Hurt to tell his mama he ain't coming home
That's why I stay strapped all summer long
You know it

Black man, drop top
There go the cops, there go the cops, there go the cops

It is because that you nervous? (damn)
[Verse 3: Meek Mill]
Black man
Running from the law like Pac-Man
Try and throw the raw all in the trash can
Got smoked by a cop on the dash cam
Mug shot on the news, he a mad man
When all he did was hustle to run the cash in
He feeding kids in jail if he wasn't cracking
Too many felonies on my jacket
All of my brothers turn to a**a**ins
We seen too many brothers get put in caskets
Too young baby mamas and baby daddies
In the graveyard back then
I went from sitting on (?) to the cashmere
You shoulda seen how I flossed on 'em last year
Two Maybachs and I had a bae in
Young n***a counting money like a cashier
White man wanna pay me like I'm (?)
n***as wanna see me at my funeral
Neither of my own homie wanna do me though
Laying on my dog crib like I'm Snoopy though
You're my n***a, I ain't even wanna do it though
If I don't do it, sh** I know he gon' do me though
Cause he broke and he tripping bout stupid hoes
But I'ma die just like motherf**ing Julio
Black man

[Verse 4: T.I.]
Police see I got my hands up
Still wanna k** me, they don't understand us
They be looking for a reason just to shoot me
And wanna do me how they do us in the movies
Or how they do it out in Baton Rouge
Or Ferguson, or Florida, or Baltimore, they make excuses
Like I did cause I thought he had a pistol
Or I did it cause I thought he was a m**m
My message to America, felon or d**h here
The liquor we die, we just substances left here
First you put us in a small hood
And then you beat us and you treat us like it's all good
And then shoot us and you screw us and acting (?)
k**ing n***a, no penalty, they can do that sh** legally
Bet I can make that a** (?) 'fore you shoot
You k** me, man there gon' be more of some (?)
We say black lives matter, you say all lives
But y'all ain't the ones getting hogtied
Persecuted, executed, one day it gon' be time for retribution
Hope you don't ever see your son in an institution
I know karma is constant and God ain't no nonsense
You doing wrong just to run sh**
One day the time gon' run out for the dumb sh**
Ain't no deception, tryna get in Heaven
You getting (?) on your (?)
And you know what you did for who how much you really caring
And what you really felt
He gon' deny the opportunity to unify
With people who look similar to you and I
Cause he don't wanna have a
