| (It's a war out here. You gotta be smart
 | 
| When you dealing with this motherfuckers)
 | 
| Gather all your arms and get ready!
 | 
| Bulletproof, window blast on shatter
 | 
| They wildin' out, like black lives don’t matter
 | 
| The other day be, yo, the beast try to play me
 | 
| It’s war zone, in the hood they brought the navy
 | 
| Arm wrest, protest to stay seven
 | 
| Guns that kill the strong black men like James Evans
 | 
| Daytime, we try to keep that shit peaceful
 | 
| Nightfall, I’m out lootin' with the people
 | 
| Police shootin', tear gas rubber bullets
 | 
| The end of the world, ain’t no other way to put it
 | 
| Pearl Harbor, lookin' like Okinawa
 | 
| Even through the thick of it all, we smokin' sour
 | 
| Repeat felons, gotta send the street yellin'
 | 
| Fuck that, I have a dream speech to tell 'em
 | 
| Excelling lives, world news Wolf Blitzer
 | 
| Don’t be a sheep and let the wolf get ya
 | 
| Ayo we strike back. |

 | 
| I trust none, just got a new forty
 | 
| Ain’t scared to bust some, I do accordingly
 | 
| Disorderly, the custom, the outrage city life like Ukraine
 | 
| Cops shoot my youths like, Saddam Hussein
 | 
| They shifty, we shot 'em down, kick 'em like Liu Kang
 | 
| Dare 'em to buc bac, what what, my crew bangs
 | 
| It’s no game, P’s waitin' to take ya life
 | 
| Burglaries, murderers, meet the viper when I strike
 | 
| Blam-blam on the bama open
 | 
| Like a open 'em like with the hammer
 | 
| If they crooked meanings see I ain’t got no type
 | 
| Hit 'em up, officer O’Connor, I’m Obama
 | 
| Lit 'em up, ya dig? | 
| Pigs feel the karma
 | 
| No drama, I’ve been a terror to this darkness
 | 
| But due to my dark skin, I’m a movin' target
 | 
| We strike back, here’s one for Pow, one for Martin
 |

 | 
| Word to Obama, where’s my change? | 
| Man that shit
 | 
| Ain’t been abolished the problem is, we’re still enslaved
 | 
| We at war, with five-o
 | 
| My eyes sore, you can see the pain in my soul
 | 
| Demonstrate, entire state, stand up hands up
 | 
| Surrender and you still get blamed up
 | 
| Silence, it gon' be no more compliance
 | 
| The new alliance, we ain’t against use of violence
 | 
| They don’t care you can get shot like a dog
 | 
| Cuz these cops think they on top of the law
 | 
| These ain’t no lies, why you actin' all surprised
 | 
| There’s a million more, crooked cops takin' their lives
 | 
| We survived, bust shots to rotten apple
 | 
| Stay in your map, it’s a trap, you being shackled
 |
