4:44am, feds flock to the front yard again Guns to the heads of my friends, That was me back then, in 010 Only been waiting for something to take me away from this cycle of violence Look in my brain, there is infinite dread and I'm living inside of a riot 4:44am, shaking in my bed, drenched in sweat Am I gonna get out of the life I led Am I gonna have my body filled with lead I have been running away from my past for too long, now I'm ready to face it Freedom is something so beautiful, but it's difficult to navigate within New Haven, Connecticut, they got him in the street Ten shots by the cowardly police They don't gotta do time, just paid leave Worst case, they're gonna retire early OG told me this the life we chose, No sleep Sometimes we get heaters to the dome, don't weep You on fleek? Shut your lip Petty little puppets, but they claiming to be free What I gotta do to make a mufucka listen What I gotta do to make a mufucka listen What I gotta do to make a mufucka listen Say, bitch, call him a bitch What I gotta do to make a motherfucker listen What I gotta do to make a motherfucker listen What I gotta do to make a motherfucker listen Say, bitch This is the beginning of a new era, I can feel it I want to believe again, I mean it This is the beginning of a new era, I can feel it I want to believe again, I mean it 4.44 AM, just found out about another dead friend Is it suicide or heroin Wondering if I am next Next 4.44 AM, shaking in my bed Drenched in sweat Am I gonna get out of the life I led Am I gonna have my body filled with lead My brain is stuck between trying to kill me or take me away from the violence Cacophony is still surrounding me So I'm sitting here praying for silence They don't like my spit, never fit their image They forgot that we were here since the beginning Black and white world with some black and white critics I was never either, so I never quite slid in The game don't love you, can't catch feelings All I ever wanted was to scratch glass ceilings They don't like the fact that I look like a rap Never looked like a trapped, that put money in the bank Fucked over so many times, point blank Hard to even put it in a rhyme, that's frank False motherfuckers gotta have a lot of balls To forgive another killer trying to catch you in his jaws Pathetic, the ways that they try to rip us all apart It's a class war out there, Don't get lost Still believing in the possibilities we got But survival can cost In my teens I read some Zinn, then Bookchin High school scholarship then College scholarship then Education is privilege, Hip Hop is Take it back from big biz Old money men never really gave a shit They just wanna sell poverty to the rich They just wanna sell pain for profit F*ck them hard and quick, on this dick They can sit, I will split Rulers necks, Let them wear Brick anklets, sleep with fish Temples get torn to the ground Bambaataa gone now, seems that they forgot about Boricua kids with big mouths Since Kool Herc been down Acting like we never been around This my blood too, melt down plastic crowns Acting like we've never been around This my blood too, melt down plastic crowns, now This is the beginning of a new era I can feel it I wanna believe again, I mean it This is the beginning of a new era I can feel it I wanna live again, I mean it When I was a kid outside Oaktown Watched the hills all burnin' down 89 earthquake, battle of the Bay Bridge Berkeley watched my family drown Ashby flea market, drum circles Malcolm X is what I found Ice T B.D.P.E, kill at will tape Digital underground Respect art you clowns This ain't actin', fashion, rainbow mouths This ain't shockin', only honest Fake Four hip-hop for right now Temples get torn to the ground Bambaataa gone now, seems that they forgot about Boricuop kids with big mouths Since Kool Herc been down Actin' like we never been around This my blood too, melt down plastic crown How? Anyone in their right mind Ever gonna think that they're rapping better than me Own this fucking sound, now This is the beginning of a new era This is the beginning of a new era This is the beginning of a new era This is the beginning of a new era Never made out with death Never had a year when you lost seven friends Never had to serve a mandatory minimum Your opinion ain't shit then Never got fucked by death Never had a cop put a gun to your head Never had to serve a mandatory minimum Your opinion ain't shit then Never made out with death Never had a year when you lost seven friends Never had to serve a mandatory minimum Your opinion ain't shit then Never got fucked by death Never had a cop put a gun to your head Never had to serve a mandatory minimum Your opinion ain't shit then Trick
