Runaway... runaway slave (8X) | |
Verse One: | |
A.G. Livin in the slums with the bums, the rats and the stray cats | |
Dogs with the rabies, little babies are having babies | |
Juveniles act wild | |
Every footstep you take, on every corner there's a crack vial | |
Pushers, dealers, crackheads are buying | |
Now the dealer's in jail, all the crackheads are dying | |
My man got | |
AIDS, he was hit hard | |
To get laid, he paid a crackhead for a five dollar quick job | |
In the ghettoes this stuff you have to find | |
A beer will relax my mind but | |
I still pack my nine | |
Cause I'm aware of all evil and devilishment | |
Because I'm living in a rat like settlement | |
Sometimes it's hard to manage | |
I grab a forty take a sip and let the mental do the damage | |
Yeah I'm woozy and my eyes are red | |
But it's better than a uzi and a brotherman is dead | |
See nine out of ten are black on black crimes | |
Four out of nine were killed before their prime | |
The other five wanted vengeance | |
So now five out of five are doin a jail sentence | |
Ask the Giant | |
I've been through it | |
So when I reach to the top, | |
I say the ghetto made me do it | |
And I know how to strive, huh | |
Born and raised in the ghetto so you know | |
I can survive | |
Chorus:Runaway... runaway slave (8X in background) | |
I gotta getaway, | |
I gotta do it now or find a better way, so how that sound (both lines repeat 4X) | |
Verse Two: | |
A.G. Chapter two, of every black man's diary | |
Drugs and diseases, put in our society | |
Kill another brother and it's bravery | |
Come on that's one step backwards into mental slavery | |
Yeah you best believe that's reality | |
You got black on black then there's police brutality | |
Yeah it's bad but what makes it sad | |
Is that I'm being harassed by a black man with a badge | |
He's sellin out because he's two-faced | |
But you only got one race, you only got a nigga's face | |
He's sellin out because times is hard | |
And old ladies are gettin robbed cause | |
I can't find a job | |
Fight to the top, and the other man'll drop and gettin treated like savages will stop | |
You got the right plan, but goin about it the wrong way | |
Divided is the long way united is the strong way | |
Too many died for us to take a pause | |
So let's all get ours, and stop tryin to get yours | |
Walk a straight path, but it's so easy to stumble | |
So weak minds crumble in the concrete jungle | |
Get your chance to sell drugs, you don't pass up | |
But a fast buck will wind up to be your last buck | |
It's a damn shame, you're deaf dumb and blind | |
Did it ever cross your mind, you're killin off your own kind | |
And pretty soon even you will be a goner | |
Easy access to guns, liquor stores on every corner | |
Street knowledge is a must, you never learn enough | |
You're physically rough, but mentally you gotta be tough | |
We shall overcome with no doubt | |
The runaway slave is sayin peace and | |
I'm out Chorus | |
I gotta getaway, | |
I gotta do it now or find a better way, so how that sound (2X) "Let's runaway, let's escape" (7X) |
