Dont let em take you alive thats what I always say
They want you silent and non violent and out the way
Sick and broke, reliant on minimum pay
Too tired to riot at the end of the day
Where them checks go, how you supposed to know
If the rent go up take the show on the road
Revolution in the air I can almost smell it,
History only repeats cause you let them tell it
Blood in the water, I know them sharks is coming
You hallucinating if you ever see me runnin’
You cooperating with them cops we know you frontin’
On the contrary ass niggas stand for nothing
Black pump like Arnold in the 80s, send a proud boy down under straight to hades
We used to be alligator bait as babies, now we in the streets raisin fists at racists

Aint no both sides, I dont do conversations
My stomach growling and im runnin out of patience
All I feel is anger and agrivation, all I know is pain and complication,
I see a storm brewing, over these new ruins
They'll leave us in the dust instead of improving
They'll let the ship sink as long as they keep it moving
And they'll tell you its going smooth cause they think you stupid
I done see what the TV dont show, I heard things my mom aint want me to know, this cold world can turn a warm heart stone, sometimes i wish I was still 5 years old
Im fed up, its guillotine time really
How much more blood they gon spill in the city
How many kids gonna starve, who gon eat with me
Why the fuck yall waiting on p diddy


These rich niggas aint gon save nobody,
they bank accounts already stacked with bodies
We out here dying over a mothefucking hobby
Aint worth bleeding out in the hospital lobby
How they gon relate to me, every bill is late you see
The cops always chasing me my face be on the TV screen,
aint no award shows aint no reality,
when you in the trenches all you see is casualties,
My mental health is taking a fucking beating,
let alone all the shit that I be reading
i gotta see what the fuck these bigots be tweeting,
I gotta load the 9 so they dont catch me sleepin
Maybe im paranoid, maybe im tweaking
But I seen too much black lives ended just for breathing,
and the way they talkin id be dumb not to believe em
All this torture we endure there gotta be a reason

Handed down trauma they expect me to act right
Everytime I was called a nigga there was a fight
These mfers lucky I had kids in this life
Or else I'd be out there smashing up cop lights
But How am I even supposed to deal with the feds
When I cant even remember to take my meds
Yall got me fucked up yall not in my head
I been in wars without even leaving the bed
I been on drugs and in the street left for dead
Where was yall when i had a gun to my head
or when i was gettin thrown out my apartment
everytime I needed help yall keep me on read
Word to my father, ima take this shit the farthest
Its time to get back to being a true artist
Ever since dmx said keep yo shit the hardest
Ima keep doing my own thing regardless
