Siyasha - Peace / New Age Slaves lyrics

[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
