Routine Lyrics by Bambu

Prey for the Devil

2016

(Khalil)
Brrraat

(Bambu)
Listen baby, maybe I've been busy chasing money for a long long time
And I ain't making time, I've been way behind, let me go drop you a few lines

I know you wonder why I get nervous when you bringing your Nerf gun outside, because police see a little brown boy with a gun toy, that's on site
Hoodie down, because when you're hoodie up you get followed all the way home
Music down, because when your music up you get shot down
And I know you only 8 but still, the devil got no chill
Aiyana Jones was only 7 when the police busted in and got her killed
Pay attention son
Daddy passing on lessons
Just to keep you safe in the skin you in
Anything can be a weapon
They feel threatened by your sight
So when you old enough and you drive
Keep your wallet, and your registration, and insurance card in plain sight
Don't dig in pockets or, in compartments, or they fire will on you so fast
Whether a comb, a phone or a candy bar they see a gun when it's in your hand
They assume you shop lifting in stores, so they gonna follow you for it
Or you probably getting ignored, because the lady think you can't afford it
They pull purses by their feet, call police across the street
Just stay cordial, and don't trip but if they flex boy by all means

But just be you, and you'll be fine
You've just got to run harder than the head starter, damn I'm glad you're mine

(Bambu and Khalil)
Why would I wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna be like them?
Why would I wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna be like them?
Said why would I wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna be like them?
Why would I wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna be like them?

(Bambu)
Yo, listen baby, maybe I've been busy chasing money for a long long time
And I ain't making time, I've been way behind, sum it up in one line, Screaming:

Fuck a cop (repeated)

For every victim of police:
Fuck a cop (repeated)

For every name we saying:
Fuck a cop (repeated)

We ain't gonna get tired screaming:
Fuck a cop (repeated)

For every victim of a pig we saying:
Fuck a cop (repeated)

We ain't getting tired screaming:
Fuck a cop (repeated)

For every name they took away it's:
Fuck a cop (repeated)

Out in Saint Louis they screaming:
Fuck a cop (repeated)

All the way in Oakland it's like:
Fuck a cop (repeated)

Right here on the block we screaming:
Fuck a cop (repeated)

I never get tired of saying:
Fuck a cop (repeated)

Say it with me homie, it's like:
Fuck a cop (repeated)

Keep your teeth white saying:
Fuck a cop (repeated)

For every victim of a pig its:
Fuck a cop (repeated)

For ever name they took away it's like
Fuck a cop

(Khalil)
We all prey for the devil mother f------
