| How could we have respect for you?
|
| Look what we subjected to
|
| Supposed to serve and protect
|
| You acting all unprofessional
|
| Restraining a man is not grabbing him by his testicles
|
| Sucker getting a gun and a badge and get disrespectful
|
| I’ll tell you why this shit is so stressful
|
| 'cause we been going through it since we came to America
|
| On a vessel
|
| Pick up a social studies book every time that they mention us
|
| They was even enslaving us, trading us or was lynching us
|
| So what’s the big difference?
|
| Whether it’s a rope or a scope, the objective is to go out and hit niggas
|
| Speaking this from the heart
|
| I been doing the knowledge
|
| We’re seeing that slavery was never truly abolished
|
| They making uzis with dollars they can use for the colleges
|
| What is this?
|
| This is the movement of tricknologists
|
| The only thing we’re doing wrong is not fighting back
|
| You ain’t got the light to rap but you know what’s right and exact, jack
|
| How the hell am I wrong?
|
| When your people been doing my people wrong for so long
|
| Now all we got is the hope and the focus to hold on
|
| Y’all been killing us for so long, it can’t go on
|
| How we both wrong?
|
| If they shoot at us, they probably get awarded
|
| If we shoot at them, they popping us when they spot us
|
| It’s harder to live life, more conscious and like marauders
|
| And focus on the problem of who could fix it in office
|
| Then picking up a bottle, a bitch, and a couple garcia’s
|
| And heading to the crib, to kick it and get some knowledge
|
| Do we want knowledge? |
| And bread for our toddlers?
|
| Saved in accounts or more belts and wallets
|
| And me I’m part of the problem, purchasing gucci products
|
| Before, I put away that money for my daughters collage
|
| And still a great father but times are getting harder
|
| No money for private school, I guess should go harder
|
| Tryna lock in in stability, cuz of my family history
|
| All of them died broke, so I’m tryna be the remedy
|
| Our ghetto kids never inherit no stocks and bonds
|
| That’s something to think about
|
| When you putting them Jordan’s on
|
| How the hell am I wrong?
|
| When your people been doing my people wrong for so long
|
| Now all we got is the hope and the focus to hold on
|
| Y’all been killing us for so long, it can’t go on
|
| How we both wrong?, damn |
