What is you reppin ' boy? Where is your weapon boy? You've been disrespecting since adolescence, pubescent boy I feel your aggression, you get upset when I call you "Boy" Cause you out here making noise, this ain't you in these polaroids Look at you, you self employed You don't wanna work for nobody Just got out the pen for moving work plus you caught a body Your plan could never work, within this dirt cause New York is grimy You tried to go to church and be delivered to God almighty So what was you stressin' boy? Do you need protection boy? Was throwing out gang sets in your rhymes a confession boy? You need that respect so you stick your neck out, no question Maybe you've got a death wish All the time you've invested All the time you arrested Black man with a pitch, ain't no catching And you let all this extra shit get in the way of your blessings Take this as my message, we ain't none of us separate A fractured soul could never go to grow in your essence Lost boys in a war zone You get caught in crossfire, hit the crossroads We done lost lives We done lost souls Black man slain and the shots rang Bang Bang, Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang, Bang Bang Bang Black man slain and the shots rang You move with hypnotic tactics Society calls you savage You move with them killers & drug dealers but ain't catch they habits You feel like the streets is laughing And everyone turn to ashes Your soul gets as black as a piece of coal when its over matches Your instincts say "grab the ratchet" Your actions say automatic You caught in the system now take your picture, lights, camera action I wonder sometimes, is a life of crime worth it? Will I really get what I desire if its gods purpose? Is it odds & evens? is we even if I go to sermon? If I serve a sentence, is it worth it if I hurt a person? My confession, is it worth the pain of pulling triggers nervous? Thank you for your service, on the surface I'm behind a curtain So what is you reppin ' boy? Where is your weapon boy? You've been disrespecting since adolescence, pubescent boy I feel you're aggression, you get upset when I call you "Boy" Cause you out here making noise, this ain't you in these polaroids Lost boys in a war zone You get caught in crossfire, hit the crossroads We done lost lives We done lost souls Black man slain and the shots rang Bang Bang, Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang, Bang Bang Bang Black man slain and the shots rang Lost boys in a war zone You get caught in crossfire, hit the crossroads We done lost lives We done lost souls Black man slain and the shots rang Bang Bang, Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang, Bang Bang Bang Black man slain and the shots rang The City Of God Bishop in "Juice" These are the stories told, by cats in a hat like Seuss The similarities ? the city will do anything to bury me I plan to tell the truth to the youth I hope it carries me So lyrically, I am young, I am man empirically I am son, I fear none, except one and spiritually I put my whole life in this rhyme You ain't gotta be Genius, I'm highlighting these lines I was there at the peak, when I was peeping decline Deception is a weapon, we needed Optimus Prime We went from using our voices to tell you about the times To telling you, how many bullets fill a clip in this nine You don't take what else I'm talking bout' in my work fine I hope you grow to see the pain and what goes on in my mind I could barely count all the people that died Or got locked or got shot, nobody talks about the Central Park Five Amadou ,Trayvon, Ezell Ford, Tamir Rice Yvette Smith, Eric Garner, John Crawford Victor White They be tryina' take our power, black man kryptonite Nother' black face on a t-shirt, candlelight We thugs to the nation, we were educated on enslavement White washed in entertainment and was brought up in encasement Back in the day, Papoose was calling this Thug-A-Cation We need to take it back, f*ck how the media reacts
