[Verse 1: Deacon the Villain] Hell, so many of my peoples on bail Return ticket given first step out the jail Return to that living that'll leave em in the shell They throwing up walls since conception in cells Providing for theyselves before they hit the ninth grade Living on blocks not cooled by nightshade Get Bramstoked off coke and fight day Rope-a-dope till night falls then ice faith It's hard to keep your head up when a n***a's brain's heavy In that rain steady cookin tryin to get those thangs ready Same face copping either clocking on your bread or Watching for the cops fiends coppin for the feds We minstrels, living in the cycle like ovaries And the hood's fertile ground to birth disorderlies This nation got my patience in restraints Its a warzone, boondock saints inside tanks [Hook] Feel your blood pressure rise, your heartbeat jump
Feel it move when everbody's feet stomp This sh** can move mountains we can make the surf break Make the earth shake, till the earth quakes [Verse 2: Natti] Streets hide teeth under Gumbottom'd feet Washed up dreams flood the drains underneath Over caine n***as slain laying under wreath From belly of a mother to the belly of a beast Feast, let the jury say amen 12 at the table like christ came in Released when hell has ice yea thin And Satan takes forsaken souls ice skatin' Little ghetto boys on the block waitin For the same f**ers cuffin em to bring the weight in Inflate prison rates cuz the state raised them Sit them in a cinder block state playpen Fate of a Section 8 case stay grim So the guns stay toted and the clips stay loaded Bait for the prey when the big rims spin So the hunted lose focus and the beast stay bloated [Hook]
