HOOK: (x2)
Before them street lights glow
You better get your tail home
Listen to your parents because
They love you and they only
Out for saving your life
(saving your life x3)
VERSE 1:
Live your life as if you're
Living in a sundown town
Because piggies very quickly
Make that gun go *BLAOW*
As of lately, I've been thinking
On how the cops have been
Treating my people for trying to make it
My people for simply breathing
Ah naw, ya'll trippin' if you thinking
I'll be sittin' while they're shooting all
Them bullets while my body is defenseless
If we surrender and listen they call it
Murder attempted, they could do a
Drive by then swerve the freaking conviction
I'm bout tired of these clan
Members dressin' as authorities
They make it their priority to k** off the
Majority of young black men as if they
Got some dang seniority
I'm speakin' for my people but
I broke the law to your degree
So forget 5-0, the feds
The blood greedy murderers
Add 2 to 10 you'll get some pigs in a
Pen wearing blue and red
With a badge on their chest
They're the ones that should
Receive arrest, I swear
HOOK: (x2)
Before them street lights glow
You better get your tail home
Listen to your parents because
They love you and they're only
Out for saving your life
(saving your life x3)
VERSE 2:
Another day, another lost life
I'm thanking God it's not mine
Caskets getting filled and
Chalk is making them outlines
Cops is known for k**ing
So why would I hit their hotline?
They don't care about your
Emergency if it's not white
The holidays is coming and it's one
Thing on my list
Mama all I want for Christmas is a
Bullet proof vest
Oh my! will this mess ever subside?
These pigs is buried all up in their dirt
And we're the ones that got to die?
And I guess we 'sposed to deal with it
Rest in peace to those that lost their
Life over a pigment
I'm affected just as much as you are
Pouring skittles on the ground
For the love of Trayvon

Said it's getting dark out and them
Street lights buzzing, gather up ya
Lil brothers, lil sisters, lil cousins
Put the bike in the garage
Get the scooter off the sidewalk
Before a piggy pull up and
Make your life stop
