Lyrics : MAYA
Verse 1 (Price):
They killed my little bro Thomas yesterday
And when you colored you don’t really look to the law to investigate
You just get the drop slide on the ops and replicate the same cycle
Now you made rivals
And you wonder why we remain spiteful
I’mma tell you how the government truly put us in this position
They only give assistance under one condition
You gotta make sure that the daddy is missing
They lower commissions raise up the rent and then handle evictions
Soon as they put drugs in the hood they took away the love in the hood
You see it’s bad enough when we see cops that gotta frisk and smoke
But then we hear stupid sh*t like you know black people kill each other the most
As if it ain’t human nature to kill or attack whatever is close
Whatever comes with a negative approach it’s another way to put a rope on our throats
It’s amazed that we lost in think about what we got tossed in
A prisoner couldn’t kill a king and lions don’t murder dolphins
You can’t kill who you don’t see
In other words forcing us in the ghetto was part of plot to put us against
Each other until we rot but we all that we got
Pre-Chorus (Price):
They threw us in the slums and took our dreams
Replaced them with a gun it’s all a scheme
Then locked us in a box I hear your screams
Caged bird I gotta let you sing
They killed my little bro Thomas yesterday
And when you colored you don’t really look to the law to investigate
You just get the drop slide on the ops and replicate the same cycle
Now you made rivals
And you wonder why we remain spiteful
I’mma tell you how the government truly put us in this position
They only give assistance under one condition
You gotta make sure that the daddy is missing
They lower commissions raise up the rent and then handle evictions
Soon as they put drugs in the hood they took away the love in the hood
You see it’s bad enough when we see cops that gotta frisk and smoke
But then we hear stupid sh*t like you know black people kill each other the most
As if it ain’t human nature to kill or attack whatever is close
Whatever comes with a negative approach it’s another way to put a rope on our throats
It’s amazed that we lost in think about what we got tossed in
A prisoner couldn’t kill a king and lions don’t murder dolphins
You can’t kill who you don’t see
In other words forcing us in the ghetto was part of plot to put us against
Each other until we rot but we all that we got
Pre-Chorus (Price):
They threw us in the slums and took our dreams
Replaced them with a gun it’s all a scheme
Then locked us in a box I hear your screams
Caged bird I gotta let you sing
