(Intro: Tariq Nasheed)
Black crime are in specific, very economically depressed areas
You can pinpoint exactly where a so-called black crime is gonna be committed because usually its in the most economically, depressed areas in any given city
And for the most part, black crime is actually down
This is why people will point to Chicago
But where's the next Zimmerman gonna be?
Where's the next Michael Dunn gonna be?
Ya dig?
Black crime is all about poverty
(Verse One)
Genocide, genocide, all i see promoted is genocide
The states are united but the people still divided and we all just players being penalized
Walking with a blind fold, only God knows when its my time to go
Bullets don't have names, most shooters can't aim, niggas shooting up the club like Shyne Po
What the hell are we dying for? A block we don't own, shopping them stones
Just heard the plug got robbed for them zones, retaliated sent two shots to his dome
Another candlelight vigil for a thug nigga
Poverty's hell, is there a heaven for a drug dealer
We'd never know when our cord's getting unplugged nigga
Why in death's the only time we show love niggas?
Same things that make you laugh will make you cry
And what we die by's the same things we glorify
A minute to pray, a second to die
Can't deal with the low income so we stay high
Can barely pay our damn rent, but we stay fly
But we only fucking ourselves with no KY
Some of us live by that thing by the waist side
Unafraid to take lives
And I don't understand why, we still see each other as the enemy
When we're all getting fucked by the same damn system that is ruled by white supremacy
Dammit I'm tired of all these funerals, tired of burying peers
Dammit we tired of all these coons amongst us, we tired of shedding these tears
Nigga it's time to unite, to fight the good fight, the courts are giving us years
Its time to stand up against this propaganda that demands us to live in fear
Nigga -- what's the definition of a real -- nigga
What you define as real -- nigga
A nigga who won't hesitate to kill -- niggas
And you all wonder why we still -- niggas
(Hook)
Some of us stay high, while some live in the bottle
All we got is 1 life, and we not promised tomorrow
A few loved ones died, and the pain is hard to swallow
Celebrating memories with marijuana and Mascato
Cause we never too young to go, never too young to cry
Never too young to mourn, and never too young to die
(Verse Two)
Homicides what my people know
But what we know we don't disclose
Cuz you'll be disposed in twenty four
Cooperation made plenty ghosts
Law enforcements our master, the hood is somewhat the slave ship
Filled with mental enslavement, and the prison is the new plantation
They love to push a brother face in the pavement
Yell stop resisting while they slay him
Got a nigga hella nervous in the a.m
When I'm riding by myself, Lord save him
Just tryna make it home, to my girlfriend
See I was born being trapped in a whirlwind
Black folks still praying for the world's end
But Jesus ain't gonna save the undeserving
It's hard living with a black man's burden
The price of freedom is death and that's certain
Never know when they gonna pull back my curtains
So a gun is urgent, get ya permit fore you be a preacher's sermon
I'm profiled by my own in the street
Black gowns replaced the white sheet
What's justice in a world for a nigga like me
Don't expect me to behave politely
Sammie Davis Jr. Niggas love tap dancing
Still a sambo nigga cooning for a mansion
KIds can still die by the hands of a bigot
Everyone don't drive away with a ticket
And freedom cost a little more than a hashtag
They make slaves outta niggas making fast cash
They even sell niggas organs in a trash bag
Today is 400 years ago in a flashback
(Hook)
Some of us stay high, while some live in the bottle
All we got is 1 life, and we not promised tomorrow
A few loved ones died, and the pain is hard to swallow
Celebrating memories with marijuana and Mascato
Cuz we never too young to go, never too young to cry
Never too young to mourn, and never too young to die
(Outro: Skinhead)
Hey nigga, those guys you killed... what color were they? Huh?
(Sadistic laugh)
They were niggers
I know it
You're cool with me nigga
I like you, I like you a lot
