[Verse 1]
Tell the government I said its game on
They gon' put a bullet through my body like I'm Trayvon
Then they gon' leave me out to die in these streets
And my Mama gon' weep
And these the n***as protect us?
Providing the peace?
We just "n***as" anyway, how you want us to be?
From a slave ship, to a paycheck, still dont pay debt
What J's next?
My new baby, no latex
Happy Father's day, he don't wanna wait
For the green so he sell it at a green light chillin
With the villains in my neighborhood
Swear that we k**in'
I was hangin' with the OG's
Devin saw the court keys
Blanco had the crime scene tape by the police
I ain't seen him since the 5th grade, back when my
Teacher thought she knew that I'd be moving weight
Tell that kid to wait, no he can't sit straight
He got a dream
The cops was at his house last Sunday but sh** seem so regular
Don't ever judge a book by a cover
A big by the sty
Or a son by his mother
I never sold d**, know they wanted me to do it
Another stereotype I gotta follow through with
What's the blueprint for a black kid in the burbs?
Growing up around vanilla got me feeling secure
But when, y'all see a n***a then you act so scared
And that slave whip driving at your knees like 'skrrt'
Ain't it dangerous being young, black, and successful
Like if you don't go to jail then they bound to forget you
And when you step in the pound
They like hounds and they hunt
Steady calling us mutts, while we running a muck
Your son buying my CD and your daughter backstage
Taking pics with the new age slaves, that sh** crazy
Jumping off the stage for pay
That sh** raised me to go get it how I live
Hoes tryna have my kids
Friends pulling droes from they nose
They just tryna get a high before they touch the sky
Live fast, and never die
Get cash, and run up in good fashion all the time
God, when I'm gon get paid?
They don't know my name, they just see my face
Said I don't play no games
So I won't lose my place in this rap game
Snatch fame, give it right back
They paying more than attention to the wrong things
Sing it from the mountain top
I don't wanna die young
Pray I don't get shot
