|
(Chorus x2) |
|
I got a letter from the government the other day |
|
I opened and read and burned that man |
|
The way that I live don't concern that man |
|
We gon' have to settle this another way |
|
(Verse 1) |
|
When the knuckles turn white and the eyes begin bulging |
|
I take an honest look at my life its insulting |
|
And I been sulking about it all week |
|
Hearing the dull screech of metal grinding the concrete |
|
And sparks dance where the worst of both worlds clash |
|
Meaning the blue tyrants and my broke ass |
|
I understand this is pawn take pawn shit |
|
But I'll be damned if you shoot me on my lawn bitch |
|
Think twice before shining that light |
|
In my drawers in the alley in the middle of the night |
|
Garbage bag and house shoes put two and two together |
|
I ain't no drug smuggler I'm a struggling brother |
|
I have this dream where I go nuts |
|
Dial 911 from the roof and post up |
|
Decorate your hard head when you came in the cruiser |
|
And paint your rod red in the name of Abruka |
|
(Chorus x2) |
|
(Verse 2) |
|
What kind of sucker would I have to be after these years |
|
Of you harassing and attacking me to run and join your cavalry |
|
Imagine me all GI Joe'd up in Afghanistan somewhere prepared to go nuts |
|
You clinically crazy if you think you could pay me |
|
A figure that could make me slay these innocent babies |
|
I identify with a slave wishing to break free |
|
He was victimised by the same system that raped me |
|
Look at us poor just trying to get our foot in the door |
|
And unfortunatley hooked in this war |
|
We were both coerced to get enlisted |
|
But his was with a trigger mine was living conditions |
|
We're one in the same but in the name of some freedom |
|
I'm supposed to put one in his brain like something will change |
|
What freedom? I ain't writing for no president |
|
Send the kids to die when we didn't even elect the bitch |
|
(Chorus x2) |
|
Listen I'm in no position to judge a young stud |
|
Tryn'a use the military to come the **** up |
|
Cos self preservation is the first law of nature |
|
Play your cards smart remember what the ****s up |
|
Its really no different from crack pedaling when it |
|
Comes to dying and killing for a dream you were given |
|
Last thing in your mind is how you seen by the system |
|
N' be willing to go to those extremes for your vision |
|
Shit I'm no smarter I'm ****ing retarded |
|
I just know enough to not eat directly where the dog shits |
|
If Uncle Sam wants to threaten my health |
|
Tell him he have to come and get me himself |
|
...Mother****er |
|
(Chorus x2) |
