| Aww shit, another young brother hit
|
| I better go over my man’s crib and get the pump
|
| Cause to the cops, shootin brothers is like playin baseball
|
| And they’re never in a slump
|
| I guess when they shoot up a crew, it’s a grand slam
|
| And when it’s one, it’s a home run
|
| But I’ma be ready with a wild pitch
|
| My finger got a bad twitch, plus I’m on the switch --
|
| -- side, and step up to the batter’s box
|
| Fuck red and white, I got on Black Sox
|
| But let him shoot a person from the White Sox
|
| What’s the call? |
| Foul ball!
|
| Babe Ruth woulda made a good cop, but he didn’t
|
| Instead he was a bigot, dig it My life is valuable and I protect it like a gem
|
| Instead of cops gettin me I’m goin out gettin them
|
| And let em cough up blood like phlegm
|
| It’s grim but dead is my antonym
|
| And legally they can’t take a fall
|
| Yo check it out it’s just a friendly game of baseball
|
| Verse Two:
|
| R.B.I. |
| -- real bad injury
|
| But don’t get happy you’re in jail for a century
|
| Just as bad as bein shot in the groin
|
| To see who’ll shoot ya, they’ll flip a coin
|
| And watch him run for the stretch
|
| But you don’t know the man is at home waitin to make the catch
|
| So the outfielder guns you down
|
| You’re out, off to the dugout, underground
|
| I know a cop that’s savage, his pockets stay green like cabbage
|
| Cause he has a good batting average
|
| No questions, just pulls out the flamer
|
| And his excuses get lamer
|
| Once a brother tried to take a leave
|
| But they shot him in his face sayin he was tryin to steal a base
|
| And people watch the news for coverage on the game
|
| Hmm, and got the nerve to complain
|
| They need to get themselves a front row seat
|
| Or sink a baseline for a beat
|
| Cause television just ain’t designed for precision y’all
|
| It’s just a friendly game of baseball
|
| Verse Three:
|
| A kid caught on, but I don’t know where the brother went
|
| The umpires are the government
|
| I guess they took him out the game, and replace him
|
| with a pinch-hitter, in the scam he was a quitter
|
| So the cops usually torment, I mean tournament
|
| Win em I was sayin
|
| You can’t let the umpires, hear ya speak and battle
|
| like the other kid you won’t be playin
|
| Cause they’ll beat you til your ass drop
|
| A walking gun with a shell in his hand is their mascot
|
| And when they walk around let it be known to step lightly
|
| The bases are loaded
|
| My man got out from three strikes
|
| In the skull but the knife he was carrying was dull
|
| Instead of innings, we have endings
|
| What a fine way to win things
|
| And hot-dog vendors have fun
|
| Sellin you the cat rat and dog on a bun
|
| And when you ask what is all of this called?
|
| It’s just a friendly game of baseball |
