Lyrics:
For all our people that was slayed in vain (revenge)
For all our peoples that was falsely framed (revenge)
For all our peoples that's livin' the name
was chicken in every pot, even when times were lean
We thought everybody had a shot at the American dream
Every mother was supposed to look like
A day in a life of a kid in America
Everyone's a critic, watch them criticize your character
Everybody watching ya
People love to stare at ya
of this American dream
Listen to the gossip, just like Junior High
I try to keep my mouth shut, just let it pass me by
Remember why I'm here, I do it for
Shawty wanna lay by me
We live in a world full of evil
One reason I stick by my people
I told you I got me a plan, this for the fam
Run it up 'till we
panic
We cross the borders to take all American orders
Doing work worth dollars but we get paid quarters
We save businesses thousands a day
By doing jobs
me some more I said I've got to live
The American dream
Keep the sheep all pacified and you can get away with anything
But me and you
Wont let them
This right here is more than rhyming on a beat
You know how many of us have died in these streets
Every single one I cried myself to sleep
We're
manifestation they fly by
So I'm fly at night
Never fly at school
And I'm Hood By Air
(Your a cool kid, oopsie)
Like New York American Apparel lines
I'm
you was my man
But you wasn't hey
Served you're purpose dog
At the end of the day
Is it worth it all
Immersed in all the worth the world got
you're purpose dog
At the end of the day
Is it worth it all
Immersed in all the worth the world got to offer
But perpetrating proper like nothing can stop
living like hell in a world of death
Protectors of the people wear bullet-proof vests
Your little nephew, flipped him a Uzi
Took to the streets, shot em
Uh, yes, y'all, baby
Yeah, work it out
Work it out, dawg, work it out now
Uh, y'all motherfuckers
Big dawgs in the house, what?
Terror Squad,
thoughts about the detox
Big pharma mixes and slangs the same cains we bought in these street rocks
A lot Doper than I'm supposed to be
Against all
pistol on me nigga i aint worried about your big homie
I been in the street eversince i was a kid homie
Chorus
Yeah i did that boy dirty im gone shoot
game we do thangs for new thangs
This kid got stopped for like three G's and two chains
Yo, I know about these streets I was raised in
In my
not black but this conversation has a meaning
We all bleed the same colors but for different reasons
We in the same boat, you either swimming or you
all we really need
Is a change in perspective
(Yeah yeah, HC TB like..)
Kaleidoscopic perspective
You tried to top it
You're ineffective
I boss it
Shrug
knows a
Nigga with a different charge
Ones who took the plea
Cuz likelihood of an acquittal's marred
By risk of spendin'
Too much life in prison
When
Lately, U.S.A. is gettin' scarier
Half of the Americans I see all hate America
They hate the cops doin' they best to take care of us
And kneel for
of Hope and Glory,
Wait until we drop down dead.

At the cinema show
Gotta hustle if he wants an education
Yeah he's got a long way to go
Now he's out on the street all day
Selling crack to the people who pay
At the cinema show
Gotta hustle if he wants an education
Yeah he's got a long way to go
Now he's out on the street all day
Selling crack to the people who pay
