| I tell 'em you ain’t gotta heartbeat or a soul but I’m gonna murder ya
|
| Pop-pop-pop-pop-pop, you a robocop I’ma short-circuit ya
|
| You did the hood dirty, I’ma do you dirtier
|
| I’m standing over the face of a cop with a Glock, end of the story
|
| I’ma take y’all back 20 hours earlier
|
| This what set off the nonsense
|
| A cop walks in to break up a simple fight but he body slam a teenage girl
|
| unconscious
|
| They don’t see us as human beings, they see monsters
|
| Police academy brainwash them, the FOX News corp brainwashed them
|
| And when the Empire puts chips in your brain, forget it mane
|
| Shit you say niggas can’t stop 'em
|
| They murderers, crazy in the head, compassion for none
|
| They don’t look at you and see a man, they see some alien stare
|
| That’s why I’m asking, to the police what kind of beast do you have to become
|
| To kill a child so young that was having some fun
|
| Would you have shot Tamir if that was your son?
|
| You pull us over, we contemplating Capital One
|
| Go back where you’re from, I’m strapped with a drum
|
| A MAC, if you cap you get clapped in the lung
|
| You crashed in the slums feeling like you didn’t want it to stop
|
| Get clapped in the back if you run
|
| You left paraplegic, police did the deed in the
|
| The upper class, they in a trance cuz even if they ask and they still alive,
|
| they might never believe it
|
| Under hypnosis, the empire hit 'em with their memory wipers
|
| So they don’t remember they liked us
|
| If they don’t see us as human beings, they don’t give a fuck if our enemies
|
| snipe us
|
| I’ve told 'em you ain’t gotta heartbeat or a soul but I’m gonna murder ya
|
| Pop-pop-pop-pop-pop, you a robocop I’ma short circuit ya
|
| You did the hood dirty, I’ma do you dirtier
|
| Standing over the face of a cop with a Glock, with only one shot End of the
|
| story
|
| Just like I said earlier
|
| The observer takes many forms. |
| The observer collects human data
|
| Suffering is ageless, oppression is timeless
|
| Let’s go back. |
| The year is 1932
|
| The place: anywhere
|
| I got nowhere to go (I got nowhere to go)
|
| Cuz they kicked in my door (Cuz they kicked in my door)
|
| Then they kill all my folks (Then they kill all my folks)
|
| And they took all my hope (And they took all my hope)
|
| I’m on the train tracks (Train tracks)
|
| I’m on the train tracks (I'm on the train tracks)
|
| I ain’t coming round here again (Coming round here again)
|
| Till I get myself some payback (Get my self some payback)
|
| He slept all night at the railroad tracks with no knapsack
|
| His own back was his bed
|
| He just kicked back, relaxing his head on an old back pack
|
| Dreaming about leaving town and never go back
|
| But this is no Amtrak, this is the freight train
|
| Heard some brakes grinding and squeaking
|
| Woke him up, climbed to his feet
|
| He started running alongside the train, timing his leap, and dove in with tears
|
| dried to his cheek, cuz he was crying in his sleep
|
| His heart beat fast, he’s skipping town with everything he has; |
| his clothes,
|
| his life and his past, got a nightmarish past
|
| See it was April 19th, the night he saw Templar knights, cross embossed on a
|
| white sheet
|
| Eight men came in
|
| But this family just tryna get a good night’s sleep
|
| They slaughtered them like sheep
|
| Before they cut his mother to the white meat
|
| He told her her younger son to run
|
| Hopped out the window and hit the side street
|
| Look back in torment and see his father’s body dormant, hanging like a ornament
|
| on a pine tree
|
| «Why me?»
|
| Death came riding on horses, survivors of Forrest’s
|
| Of course he has survivor’s remorse, that night was the source of it
|
| What changed the course of his life and morphed it into the life of an orphan
|
| Before then, shit was perfect
|
| Now he’s raising himself on the streets, doing odd jobs on a different circuit
|
| He’s shining white men’s shoes, they call him nigga while the kid is working
|
| But he’s plotting revenge so this shit is worth it
|
| He put himself through college with that polish
|
| His past, he would demolish it with knowledge
|
| But he promised to avenge the death of his mama and father, so he hid his
|
| murderous vendetta behind the persona of a scholar
|
| Some white men really befriended |
| But others he simply pretended, his memories trigger resentment
|
| Memories of the misery he mentally lived with
|
| Misery, you figure his success would instantly end it
|
| Nah, cuz one day he walked to the coffee shop
|
| Waiting for a cup of joe, longer than he ever waited
|
| He’s at the back door cuz integration was regulated
|
| The owner know he educated, but still it was segregated
|
| He sitting there, thinking «damn even getting coffee is a hurdle»
|
| Then he heard that made his blood curdle
|
| The same voice from that forsaken night
|
| The same voice that told his mama I’m about to take your life
|
| The voice that told his mom this is my favorite knife
|
| Then pushed it in her gut and told her say goodnight
|
| The thirst for revenge became too hard to stop
|
| Knew he wouldn’t get no justice if he called a cop
|
| Ran inside with a old pistol his father bought
|
| People shouting, like «who let this nigga in this coffee shop?»
|
| The voice of the killer was heard loudly
|
| «I'll kick this nigga out right now and do it proudly!»
|
| That’s when the black man pulled his gun, he drew it wildly
|
| The crowd jumped, he pointed it at the killer and told him
|
| «I'll be damned if I let you get away with what you did, I’ve been waiting to
|
| kill you with my father’s gun since I was a kid»
|
| One, two, three shots, four, five, six
|
| Dreamin' of this day, he didn’t know it would go like this
|
| None of this is planned, one minute he’s ordering some coffee
|
| Next minute the gun is in his hand, the life of the person that murdered his
|
| mother in his hand, so he took it
|
| Then he looked at his daddy’s gun, tucked it in his pants, and… ran
|
| I remember the people coming in, white people coming into our house,
|
| with torches, setting the curtains on fire
|
| I got nowhere to go (I got nowhere to go)
|
| Cuz they kicked in my door (Cuz they kicked in my door)
|
| Then they kill all my folks (Then they kill all my folks)
|
| And they took all my hope (And they took all my hope)
|
| I’m on the train tracks (Train tracks)
|
| I’m on the train tracks (I'm on the train tracks)
|
| I ain’t coming round here again (Coming round here again)
|
| Till I get my self payback (Get my self payback)
|
| Everybody was just standing around, nobody said anything, didn’t want nothing,
|
| 'till finally a rude old white man came up to there and said, «Nigga,
|
| what you doing with that pistol?» |
