Yo this officer Nick with damage to inflict
But first lemme pose for the gram right quick
Damn right bitch, going ham like shit
Then it's back to that ku klux klan type clique
Turn a man to a convict quick as hell
You catch a bullshit case or you catch a shell
By the time i was 11 knew i had to rebel
Turned 13 twice, wasn't fucking with 12
Get a dozen cronuts, throw one in the trash
Word bond to my ma I'm done getting harassed
I'll keep it brief, you all tighty with whitey, you see the contrast?
Taking a knee, yall just making me laugh
Thinking I'ma make peace with a killer copper
We got big beef nigga, it's a triple whopper
But we'll take 40 acres if you got it in stock or
Else we going Swarzenegger, we gon' get to the chopper
"We're not those cops" - man opps is opps
"Plus I listen to hip hop" - opps is opps
"I once voted for Barack" - yo opps is opps
Got a fist up, but they still doing no knocks
They don't wanna see a black renaissance
They just wanna see us stomped from the bay to the bronx
Same shit they did to my pops' pops
Still pain on the block, cuz opps is opps
Can't leave the mic alone, I'm obsessed with jordan
Give less than a fuck about some Yve St. Laurent
Still fresh to death and it ain't looted nigga
But I just left a museum and saw what you did nigga
Fuck you think I'm stupid nigga? I know what this is
A pawn in the biggest con since Genghis
Still wanna put the blame on Jena Six
Running old game like they playing Genesis
Sega riddance, sega bye, sega night to the bad guy
Yell for Adele, tell 'em I said hi
Raising hell like it was my first child
Yall NFL, you niggas fuckin' lie
Yo Kraft and them be craftin' what we hear
A pic with Meek, then tweet "thoughts & prayers"
But for every single one of them billionaires
It's a billion motherfuckers that they fucked to get there
"We're not those cops" - man opps is opps
"Plus I listen to hip hop" - opps is opps
"I once voted for Barack" - yo opps is opps
Got a fist up, but they still doing no knocks
They don't wanna see a black renaissance
They just wanna see us stomped from the bay to the bronx
Same shit they did to my pops' pops
Still pain on the block, cuz opps is opps
I'm sick of all the aggression, sick of yall whole profession
I'm sick of telling my niggas that I'ma see 'em in heaven
I'm sick of mothers feeling hurt showing us how to reckon
Being a suspect first and a citizen second
I let my drink get hot, i'm sick of ICE too
I'm sick of lies 'bout why you ain't liable
I'm sick of how they split the crips and pirus
But I won't fall in the cracks, I'ma shine through
You think a pic could erase what we think of police?
I'm sick of yall dictating how we speaking our peace
So I do this in remembrance of the streets
When the Rona got rid of that 40 hour work week
I'm sick of that being how yall get us to act tame
I'm finna act up, you finna take the blame
I'm sick of staying in this "we just entertain yall" lane
So get a extra controller, cuz two can play at that game

Traffic Stop

That ratchet pop at that traffic stop
Ratchet pop at that traffic stop
It's whack bro, but it's facts though
That ratchet pop at that traffic stop
Ratchet pop at that traffic stop
Ratchet pop at that traffic stop
I'm deadass with yo' dead ass
Cuz that ratchet popped at that traffic stop
Lookin' like a mack, Dolemite, no pimp hand
All through the hood got a good reputation
Even overseas, ya got a few friends
British cats like "he a good chap, man!"
But cop wondering how you look so clean
Fuck you mean? I bought them jeans
Reach for receipt but you know what that mean
Pop, pop, pop like you went mainstream
Hair done with them nails too
Out Malibu and she feelin' girly
The night was slow but, po-po roll up
Even though she left early
You could be Cinderelli in the Disney gown
With the Disney sound comin' out ya mouth
But you best be in 'fore the clock strike midnight
At your grandma's house
Somethin' innocent like out there fishin'
And in a sense it was intuition
Hyped to shoot on first suspicion
Despite the suit tailor-made for a Christian
Bitch you know what I'm wishin? (What?)
Cop kill a nigga, cop get locked up
Maybe then my brown skin
Wouldn't be finna get me shot up
His blood brother was a undercover
Now another black mother cryin'
Her heart can't heal from that ordeal
When they cast steel from the iron
A black boy in South Troy
She knew the shit from day one
It could be for his life or his dignity
Either way, they gonna rob her son
That ratchet pop at that traffic stop
Ratchet pop at that traffic stop
It's whack bro, but it's facts though
That ratchet pop at that traffic stop
Ratchet pop at that traffic stop
Ratchet pop at that traffic stop
I'm deadass with yo' dead ass
Cuz that ratchet popped at that traffic stop
(x2)
It's gray skies over Baltimore
Blue lights make red, it's the Art of War
And boy though when they through with you
You gon' need a crutch or two
It got much ado about nothing new
But these dreadlocks ain't a safe look for you
And my hair is not the main issue
But each dread raise my threat level
Why these niggas always eyein' me
But don't never ask Brad for that ID
That's that po po policy
So he get off scott free
And we the one's end up in cages
Fuck up and they garner wages
Yeah I sold some loosies but
Lemme do some 'splainin' bruh!
Made an honest living and kept it real
Had some hits in New York like Paul O'neill
But if the cop at the stop feeling some type of way
It's fifty-fifty I'ma die today
Catch one from a number nine to the head
Now his hair all Ron McDonald red
You a disgrace to the human race
With yo' resting bitch ass nigga face
Them murderers be at home reclining
So I see no sterling silver lining
Reminding me what a black life worth
Could stay on course but of course you cursed
Feel like I need some Oxy
Or morphine the way it hurts
Just want education and knowledge from Eden
I'm on them "ed" words
God told me to be a tsunami
So I got apocalyptic flows
My dog told me to murder this beat
So the woof how Son of Sam do, Bose
Chicken fried rhymes I was cookin' down south
But my only goal: to keep it bland up in your mouth
I hear that woo-woo and I know for who that bell toll
Always been shootin' first man, the po-po Han Solo
And a lil' grain of rice could tip the whole fuckin' scale
So let's throw our weight around, cuz Tamir was only twelve!
