Lockdown |
| You should've been downtown (Word) |
| The people are risin' (For real?) |
| We thought it was a lockdown (What?) |
| They opened the fire (Man) |
| Them bullets was flyin' (Ooh) |
| Who said it was a lockdown? |
| Goddamn lie |
| Oh my |
| Time heals all, but you out of time now (Now) |
| Judge gotta watch us from the clock tower (True) |
| Lil' tear gas cleared the whole place out |
| I'll be back with the hazmat for the next round |
| We was tryna protest, then the fires broke out |
| Look out for the secret agents, they be planted in the crowd |
| Said, "It's civil unrest," but you sleep so sound |
| Like you don't hear the screams when we catchin' beatdowns? |
| Stayin' quiet when they killin' niggas, but you speak loud |
| When we riot, got opinions comin' from a place of privilege |
| Sicker than the COVID how they did him on the ground |
| Speakin' of the COVID, is it still goin' around? |
| And won't you tell me 'bout the lootin'? |
| What's that really all about? |
| 'Cause they throw away black lives like paper towels |
| Plus unemployment rate, what, forty million now? |
| Killed a man in broad day, might never see a trial |
| We just wanna break chains like slaves in the South |
| Started in the North End but we in the downtown |
| Riot cops tried to block, now we got a showdown |
| (Citizens of Los Angeles) Down |
| (I hereby declare this to be an unlawful assembly) |
| (And in the name of the people of the State of California) |
| You should've been downtown (Command all those assembled) |
| The people are risin' (Right here) |
| We thought it was a lockdown |
| They opened the fire (Ooh) |
| Them bullets was flyin' |
| (Lockdown, we ain't gotta stop because they tell us to) |
| Who said it was a lockdown? |
| Goddamn lie |
| Downtown, where I got popped with the rubber bullet |
| Trey-pound, got it in my name now, I'ma shoot it |
| Uh, okay, never understand why they do it |
| Someone cut the channel off the news 'fore I lose it (Nah) |
| I ain't even trippin', if you wit' it, then we lootin' (Nah) |
| Help me put this Louis in the back of Suzuki (Ooh), o-he |
| Had to break it down so smoothly (Smooth) |
| They gon' say, "It's not about race," but we movin' (Fuckin') ho, power |
| Copped the trey-pound, had to put that in my name |
| Wish a nigga play now (Yeah) |
| Any given day, I'll be headed to the pulpits (Yeah) |
| Say a lil' prayer, matter fact, I need two of 'em, ooh |
| Won't he do it? |
| Won't he do it? |
| Ooh, this ain't '92 so we into new rules |
| Niggas got hip, so we don't loot the projects |
| 'Bout to hit Rodeo with my lil' cousin Marcus |
| Someone threw a whole brick in the Neiman Marcus (Ah) |
| Help me put the whole mannequin in the Charger |
| You should've been downtown (Down) |
| The people are risin' (Look around) |
| We thought it was a lockdown (Shit, lockdown) |
| They opened the fire (Had to get low, fire) |
| Them bullets was flyin' (Down, down) |
| Who said it was a lockdown? |
| Goddamn lie (Ooh-wee) |
| Lockdown, we ain't gotta stop 'cause they tell us to |
| Downtown, where I got popped with the rubber bullet |
| Trey-pound, got it in my name now (Uh), I'ma shoot it |
| Lockdown, we ain't gotta stop 'cause they tell us to |
| Downtown |
