Lyrics
Just who do you think you are Now I asked you a question, who the hell do you think you are n**** Got freedom of speech, but freedom ain't free There’s always consequences better watch what you say You got freedom of speech, but so do we Things you take for granted can be snatched right away Police stay on top of me Everywhere I go cops out for me Serve and protect don’t lie to me We here to protect this property From my P-O-V all these C-O-Ps got nothin’ on you like B.O.B Too many P-O-C in the P-I-C go from E-B-T to the D-O-C Whether a guilty plea or a mеa culpa They lock you up for just being poor It’s a [?] and go just being brokе They killin these n****s like Leopold In the Congo I’m in a [?] The [?] is like ‘94 Bill Clinton signed the bill into law N****s locked up behind William Barr Get it? Locked up behind William Barr Not selling drugs not stealing cars Not killing people but we villains equal And a bad influence on the average student Cause be black and we lack in every avenue All we have is music all we have is sports All we have is beats all so we have its courts So we made the sounds and we played around And we laid it down out and stayed around And ain't make it out this way to drown You weighed it down this sh*t break it down Sh*t break it down Sh*t break it down Sh*t break it down, sh*t break it down Sh*t break it down, sh*t break it down Pick ya head up, pick ya head up, pick ya head up, pick ya head up Pick ya head up, pick ya head up, pick ya head up, pick ya head up Pick ya head up, pick ya head up, pick ya head up, pick ya head up Pick ya head up, pick ya head up, pick ya head up, pick ya head up Full family friend [?] In the absence of residence, this is not for them in hell, again again Fade in or fade away, pale in comparison You know my body [?] is written in the dossier (you see me) Think smarter think again, that’s what Kweli say They probably pay top dollar for this modern stance Fight or flight, take this light that’s an olive branch (yeah) Stop the blessings, what’s the message that is not advanced You are up against the odds, you don’t stand a chance I’m gon’ fiddle til it’s fixed that’s mechanics hands And we gon’ get it til we got it, set the standards [?] Take advantage, of the vibes of this planet Til the seeds germinate and every construct vanished (gone) I got palms up livin in my best grace wellness And my grat**ude committed to that att**ude dammit Pick ya head up, pick ya head up, pick ya head up, pick ya head up Pick ya head up, pick ya head up, pick ya head up, pick ya head up Pick ya head up, pick ya head up, pick ya head up, pick ya head up Pick ya head up, pick ya head up, pick ya head up, pick ya head up Pick ya head up, pick ya head up, pick ya head up, pick ya head up Pick ya head up, pick ya head up, pick ya head up, pick ya head up
