Now keep in mind I've been sickened by this violence

What's worse is that all I'm getting is silence

Every night I'm running away from the sirens

Cause the police tryna label us as tyrants

These under-covers give us crack and say try this

Telling us it'll help with our lives and our kids

And once we're all fucked up and high as shit

they charge us with possession and all of that bullshit

Put us behind bars for something they wronged us for

Harass us and our people and make sure they keep us poor

put us in the projects and made it hard to escape

if that's the case there's no difference between prison and this place

I never asked for my race, but I'm sure as hell proud of it

black skin around my face, satisfying the taste

of rich white folk since the shitty old days when we were slaves

Just moving along in hundreds like flowing waves
