Way back when I was a young man
Mama sat me down and said "young man
Even though you still so young, man
To a cop, might as well be a blood, man
Cuz they see you first as a nigger
So they'll put you in the ground like a tent pole
You don't need to hear from Jean Byrne
To know which way the wind blows
Clips loaded, they ready to edit
Life cut short like Ms. Grande's dresses
If we lucky just get arrested
Luckier than our ancestors
We raw dog, got no protection
Learn a lesson from a Smith & Wesson
Hug the block just for affection
So ironic, it's da pressing
Come out y'all boys in blue
Gimme a fair one and I swear son
I won't ne'er run cuz ain't nann one of us
Scared one bit
Cuz if you had to put that gun away
I bet your ass would run away
So I'ma wait 'til that one day
You don't have one, bitch
When the sun's out, their guns' out
By sundown hear the gun sounds
They shoot-around like practice
But y'all know y'all shouldn't have did that shit
It's midnight and my hands up
"It's cool Officer Luke, be patient
Cuz I think what we got here
Is a failure to communicate"
They say blue lives matter first
Like they out to save smurfs
But just rep for whites like a t-shirt
Freud was right, you a motherf*cker
They deadly so we dead meat
Breaking us like records
So excessive with the force
I swore they learned from Sith lords
Come out y'all boys in blue
Gimme a fair one and I swear son
I won't ne'er run cuz ain't nann one of us
Scared one bit
Cuz if you had to put that gun away
I bet your ass would run away
So I'ma wait 'til that one day
You don't have one, bitch
I was born in the streets of DC
Where loyalty means everything
I get shot, you get shot
That's the code on our street
I learned from the IRA
To protect my family
With a verse or two of street shit
On a Belfast beat
I'm dangerous?
You strange to us
It'd be a damn shame man if I got to bust
You'd go vertical from my .30 cal
Never risin'
Ya heard me now?
Got backbone when you ain't alone
Step on us like cobblestone
But see me man to man, nigga
No zone
Put holes in ya like ozone
Come out y'all boys in blue
Gimme a fair one and I swear son
I won't ne'er run cuz ain't nann one of us
Scared one bit
Cuz if you had to put that gun away
I bet your ass would run away
So I'ma wait 'til that one day
You don't have one, bitch
Come out y'all boys in blue
Gimme a fair one and I swear son
I won't ne'er run cuz ain't nann one of us
Scared one bit
Cuz if you had to put that gun away
I bet your ass would run away
So I'ma wait 'til that one day
You don't have one, bitch
