| These old sneakers, faded blue jeans
|
| No tricks no gimmicks, I be stomping down down down down down demons
|
| Rolling up trees in the belly of the beast
|
| Where the people disagree, the upper class hate
|
| Middle don’t exist, the bottom of the beat, glad I got my sticks
|
| Are you jumping on a fad, laying in a ditch
|
| I be stomping down demons, stomping down quick, come on
|
| The police don’t come around these parts
|
| They tell me that we all a bunch of animals
|
| The only time they wanna turn the cameras on
|
| Is when we’re fuckin' shit up, come on
|
| Bullets still ringing, blood on the cement
|
| Black folks grieving, headlines reading
|
| Tryna pay it no mind, you just living your life
|
| Everyone is a witness, everyone got opinions
|
| Got a son of my own, look him right in his eyes
|
| I ain’t living in fear but I’m holding him tight

|
| I ain’t living in fear but I’m holding him tight
|
| Damn, why the fuck are they after me?
|
| Maybe cause I’m a bastard
|
| Or maybe cause of the way my hair grow naturally
|
| Still tryna figure out, why the fuck I’m full of rage
|
| I think I know this is bullshit right around the fifth grade
|
| Paraphernalia in my locker right next to the switch blade
|
| Nothing but pussy on my mind and some plans of getting paid (Ay)
|
| But I’m a product of the system raised on government aid
|
| And I knew just how to react when it was time for that raid (whoa)
|
| Just a young black man from Compton wondering who could save us
|
| And could barely read the sentences the justice system gave us
|
| So many rental cars with bricks, I think they probably funded Avis
|
| Some of us was unbalanced but some us used our talents
|
| Not all of us criminals but cops be yelling, «Stay back nigga!»
|
| We need a little bit of payback
|
| Don’t treat me like an animal cause all this shit is flammable
|
| Don’t fuck around cause when it’s done it’s done
|
| (Fuck you!)
|
| And the old folks tell me it’s been going on since back in the day
|
| But that don’t make it okay
|
| And the white folks tell me all the looting and the shooting’s insane
|
| But you don’t know our pain
|
| The police don’t come around these parts
|
| They tell me that we all a bunch of animals
|
| The only time they wanna turn the cameras on
|
| Is when we’re fuckin' shit up, come on
