The Explorer child sex abuse case that gave LMPD A black eye has resulted in a multi-million dollar settlement The conviction of multiple officers, and an FBI investigation 2021 Was a record breaking year for Louisville homicides As was the year before it. Now, 2022 is on track to be even deadlier Leaving many citizens wondering when will the violence end? When will enough be enough The headline read School Bus Stop Shot Up No suspects in custody, nobody's been locked up Sad I can't deny, yet I really ain't surprised Cause nobody bats an eye when a black kid dies Do they even investigate, me think not Hella bullets, thunder clap, systems makin' bodies fall Raindrops, storm's comin', intense pressure is likely So when I step outside I pack my heat lightning Civilians feel the city is frightening Might stop at a red and lose ya life by the light change Some advice to anyone who don't like me If ya plan to run up, just know I'm going out fighting cause A whole lotta niggas ain't lasted in my city Even good niggas getting blasted in my city No way out, no advancement in my city No second chances, only caskets in my city Streets are at war, tanks and cannons in my city Whole lotta questions, but no answers in my city Feeling like Gotham, what's the ransom for my city Yeah we living in Gotham, what's the ransom for my city We got rapin' sergeants, fakin warrants No knock, who's there, raid apartments Bullets through the walls got the neighbors callin' Sent the hit squad and erased the wrong target They can kill us, but don't feel us They don't listen, they don't hear us When we hit the streets, they fear us Sick of living under the terror Ristic state that they've created No compassion, only hatred How much more shit can I take Got me 'shamed to be a native Got me masked up, got me armed Got me marching, got me angry Got me part of something bigger No lie, that part was amazing Still I tried to tell these niggas ain't nobody come to save us If you need a superhero, then you betta put ya cape on Cause the villains chilling in office Churning millions in profits Turn our kids in to orphans Morph the Ville into Gotham Ballots riddled with Jokers City Hall is now Arkham Elections aren't gonna solve this They'll never give us real options Want to know the secret to stop them Gotta hop up when we get knocked down Gotta show them that we won't back down Gotta remind em that this is our town Load up on choppers, and bottles, and rocks now Stay in defiance of orders of lockdown When they get thirsty for power, be the first to offer a cocktail, hot A whole lotta niggas ain't lasted in my city Even good niggas getting blasted in my city No way out, no advancement in my city No second chances, only caskets in my city Streets are at war, tanks and cannons in my city Who lotta questions, but no answers in my city Feeling like Gotham, what's the ransom for my city Yeah we living in Gotham, what's the ransom for my city
