Flipsyde - Act Like a Cop Did It |
| [00:13.76] |
And every time another kid shot down, face down, laid out, bleedin' out on the school grounds; |
| [00:17.94] |
And every time a little girl get sent, by a grown man pimp, selling everything waist down; |
| [00:23.18] |
And every time another wife gets snatched, car-jacked, get slapped, straight raped in the worst way; |
| [00:27.49] |
And every time a little boy's paralyzed with a bullet in the spine cause a thug had a bad day; |
| [00:32.04] |
We should act like a cop did it. |
| [00:33.85] |
Go crazy, mosh-pit it. Just roll, just rock with it. Life is life and death is death so baby why should it matter if I did it? |
| [00:41.34] |
I'ma ride to the finish. |
| [00:42.34] |
All the grown men and women been tryin' to make the killin' stop. We need justice, and it don't matter the color, |
| [00:48.39] |
a trigger happy thug or a trigger happy cop. But let's act like a cop did it. |
| [00:52.70] |
YOU GET YOURS, YEAH, AND I'LL GET MINE. |
| [00:54.75] |
NO ONE HERE'S GONNA GET OUTTA LINE. |
| [00:57.75] |
WE ARE LIVING IN TROUBLED TIMES. |
| [01:05.43] |
WE'RE COMIN' UP, YEAH WE'RE GONNA SURVIVE. |
| [01:09.61] |
I have a reverence for life, I hate it when we lose it in the night. |
| [01:12.73] |
Ass whipped shootin' cause you losin' in a fight. 15, cruisin' in a buick feelin' right. |
| [01:16.72] |
Drunk and high 'til you lose it and you lose your whole life. And then we light a candle and we put you on a shirt. |
| [01:22.27] |
And then we bow our heads and we cry cause it hurts. |
| [01:24.33] |
And the preacher man tells us God had a plan so you had to go to heaven, only God understands. |
| [01:28.58] |
A lot of real people that was raised in the hood and they rep for the hood and they sweat for the hood. |
| [01:33.51] |
Wage war on killers messin' the hood and they protest the system stressin' the hood. |
| [01:37.62] |
Feelin' like I might be next in the hood face down with a bullet in my back on the track. |
| [01:42.93] |
Just make sure if I get clapped in the back it don't matter if the murderer is BLUE or he's BLACK. |
| [01:46.86] |
YOU GET YOURS, YEAH, AND I'LL GET MINE. |
| [01:49.36] |
NO ONE HERE'S GONNA GET OUTTA LINE. |
| [01:56.84] |
WE ARE LIVING IN TROUBLED TIMES. |
| [02:01.90] |
WE'RE COMIN' UP, YEAH WE'RE GONNA SURVIVE. |
| [02:06.52] |
Just lift every voice and scream. For the women and the children that live in pain. |
| [02:56.27] |
And the 18 and ups that vote for change and look down and see they're still shackled up in chains. |
| [03:00.71] |
I'ma start with home. Label it a no wrong zone get some other grown folks we can guard our own. |
| [03:05.88] |
Draw a line in the concrete, set the tone. Come up in here wrong and we snappin' bones. |
| [03:10.56] |
Little kids can't even walk across the street, without you ridin' by doin' 93. |
| [03:15.49] |
And you kickin' in the doors of these families, stealin' everything they worked for and leave with ease. |
| [03:20.48] |
It don't matter if you cops or you thugs or you dope fiend pimps on the block. LISTEN! God don't discriminate. |
| [03:24.92] |
He gone bring the sword anyway but I'ma act like a cop did it. |
| [03:29.22] |
YOU GET YOURS, YEAH, AND I'LL GET MINE. |
| [03:34.46] |
NO ONE HERE'S GONNA GET OUTTA LINE. |
| [03:39.14] |
WE ARE LIVING IN TROUBLED TIMES. |
| [03:43.82] |
WE'RE COMIN' UP, YEAH WE'RE GONNA SURVIVE. |
