[Verse One: B-Baz]
Walk around like I got a red cape on
Living in a world that is post-Trayvon
Post-Diallo, post-Sean Bell
Ask the pastor, “Are we still in Hell?”
Martin walked and then Barry ran
From “Let freedom ring!” to “Yes, we can!”
Few succeeded, some deterred
50 years but still a dream deferred?
Langston words, Martin heart
World of fear tore it all apart
Cop or not: 20, 30, 41 shots
Doesn't matter if my heart still stops
One loud POP! One man k**ed
Mama crying ‘cause the blood was spilled
Of her first born son, one less for the clan
Red carca**, what's left of the man
[Hook: B-Baz]
I'm trapped in the Netherrealm, plottin' my escape
And, when it's time, finally reclaim my place
I'm trapped in the Netherrrealm, countin' down the days
But when I rise, will it be Judgment Day?
I'm trapped in the Netherrealm, plottin' my escape
And, when it's time, finally reclaim my place
I'm trapped in the Netherrrealm, countin' down the days
But when I rise, will it be Judgment Day?
[Verse Two: Howie D]
I'm trapped in a world where they stealin' the breath
Out my lungs and my spirit's submitting to my flesh
That's what the world want from a n***a
To be sitting up in prison or be sinning, Believe me and pay attention
Look! At the calamity that vanity has had on my brothas
'Round the world who dyin' from insanity
A tragedy that's so sad to see
They see a n***a but don't know the other half of me!
All it take is one look before the gun go off
A son's so lost fighting in eternal wars
The children of tomorrow sparkle like stars
What's the cause if you know you against the odds?
So don't tell me that it ain't about the melanin
When Trayvon got k**ed by dat b**h Zimmerman
Obama got us but this life is stressful
When Uncle Sam don't give a damn 'bout his nephew
I'm trapped
[Hook: B-Baz]
I'm trapped in the Netherrealm, plottin' my escape
And, when it's time, finally reclaim my place
I'm trapped in the Netherrrealm, countin' down the days
But when I rise, will it be Judgment Day?
I'm trapped in the Netherrealm, plottin' my escape
And, when it's time, finally reclaim my place
I'm trapped in the Netherrrealm, countin' down the days
But when I rise, will it be Judgment Day?
[Instrumental Interlude]
Will it be Judgment Day?
Will it be Judgment Day?
Will it be Judgment Day?
[Hook: B-Baz]
I'm trapped in the Netherrealm, plottin' my escape
And, when it's time, finally reclaim my place
I'm trapped in the Netherrrealm, countin' down the days
But when I rise, will it be Judgment Day?
I'm trapped in the Netherrealm, plottin' my escape
And, when it's time, finally reclaim my place
I'm trapped in the Netherrrealm, countin' down the days
But when I rise, will it be Judgment Day?
