Are we at War if I feel it's unsafe For me to step outside my car For a traffic ticket And by the way that I'm dressed Did I immediately become your number one suspect Now your tech is at my neck And your knees are lodged into my rib cage The nerve of these fashion police these days They police us to the grave Handcuff and kill our brave And allow the cowards to walk away So much going on in this world it's a damn shame But all through history it's always been the same man Dealing with different circumstances trying to maintain Police come harassing and you get mad Then your whole life could change Sometimes I wish that they could take a walk in our shoes See how it feels when you get messed with just for being you Ain't broke no rules but if you move Then they'll put two in you And hopefully somebody records it So they'll expose the truth I ain't gone speak hypocritically I know I was thuggin' And every time I saw the police I know I was mugging But nowadays a brother grown And I ain't on nothing I'm just out here trying to get it on So I can own something But every time I'm out here riding I get pulled over Doing the speed limit, tags good And your gun out your holster Of course I got an attitude my kids in the back And I know that you only pulled me over Cuz you see I'm black Braids to the back Arm full of tats But don't you also see these steel toes, vest and this hard hat Am I being detained Why I gotta step out of my vehicle Officer please explain But you won't tell a brother nothing I don't need this man Hell naw I don't consent to you searching my car Even though I told you not to do it Still I know that you are But I ain't tripping boss man I'm just trying to make it home with my kids Cuz I don't wanna do a bid or die from something I ain't did So much going on in this world it's a damn shame But all through history it's always been the same man Dealing with different circumstances trying to maintain Police come harassing and you get mad Then your whole life could change Sometimes I wish that they could take a walk in our shoes See how it feels when you get messed with just for being you Ain't broke no rules but if you move Then they'll put two in you And hopefully somebody records it So they'll expose the truth They say we don't respond the same to black on black crime Well that's because when we get caught homey we do the time We don't get to go on vacation And chill with the fam Feet in the sand on Instagram Like we ain't killed a man We sit in jail with no bond Until the verdict end Arrested from a description Treated like we murdered 10 But officer Charlie on tape committing a homicide And we can clearly see that the stories they tell be dramatized Talking about he feared for his life over an argument Our tax money must be getting spent on some heartless wimps Shout out to all the police that's really holding it down Ain't out here harassing a man because he black or brown Out here just to serve and protect despite our imperfections Cuz you know a few of us have traveled that wrong direction But that don't mean that we deserve death at the cops discretion Stretched out with no weapons Just because we mirror at the same aggression So much going on in this world it's a damn shame But all through history it's always been the same man Dealing with different circumstances trying to maintain Police come harassing and you get mad Then your whole life could change Sometimes I wish that they could take a walk in our shoes See how it feels when you get messed with just for being you Ain't broke no rules but if you move Then they'll put two in you And hopefully somebody records it So they'll expose the truth The truth is The number of justifiable homicides is like 400 lives lost each year And the shrinks think that this number will increase by December 2015 It's August already And it's funny how we can overcome Ebola but 385 American citizens have already lost their lives to law enforcement Is this not an epidemic I mean every day I'm turning on the television I'm seeing another epic picture Of law enforcement gunning down one of my people An unarmed man is subject to slavery at any given moment I quote Huey P. Newton Hands up no reason for you to be shooting The itch on his trigger finger allows him to lose it
