Deacon the Villain - Riot! lyrics

[Hook: Deacon The Villain & Natti] Old heads sayin' Why them people outside Tryna keep them young boys quiet Get low Why? Them young boys wild Lookin' at 'em 'bout to start a riot Good Lord! Why them people outside? Tryna keep them young girls quite Get low Why? Them young girls wild Lookin' at 'em bout to start a riot Good Lord! [Verse 1: Deacon The Villain] Look at all the red Some whites in blue No rights Incites The fight in you For life You no nice You no like my hue You strike we stand straight as a stripe on cue And you ask Why we burning up the neighborhood? As if the ghetto was created for the greater good It's even burning where the savior stood We trying to self destruct This what will make you do it Tryna find a nugget of truth In something Other than art Somewhere other than youth It's all lies Everything under your roof To learn that history's been slanted just to keep you aloof It reaches moments When even the righteous choose violence From silence to siren A seismic environment In life's maze Maybe what's left is the right way I hate to blacken yo white day But old heads sayin [Hook: Deacon The Villain & Natti] [Verse 2: Natti] No way left to temper the temperature of the town Hear the brush with d**h painting Crimson across the ground Down Now, get behind something A cause or some cover Take aim or take suffering News cameras never get the pause Only want the rumble in the jungle when they popping out the claws Civil rights suddenly got a clause Declaring martial law Too many ninjas tightening up they bras Being lioness doesn't make it a lion less And hunting down the Cubs is good way to lie in rest Yes Stress and pressure bust pipes Know it ain't fun when the rabbits behind the sights Seeing fires burning as bright as the city lights Fueled by revolt its highest voltage ignite Generations behind with numbers in decline Are now the ones peeking out the blinds In these times saying why [Hook: Deacon The Villain & Natti] [Verse 3: Deacon The Villain] Can I get an R for the Riot? E for emotion? D for devotion? What's the commotion You ask why we burn up the streets that we live on Did we get that notion From across the ocean Such self destruction Pain and the misery We know nothing of infamy Let's roll play the history Book Reverse psychology the apology That civil war wasn't fought for me It was economy Look Abe free'd slaves Date recorded But it took a hundred years to piss in the same toilet Abe free'd slaves Date recorded But it took a hundred years to piss in the same toilet [Deacon The Villain & Natti] Why them people outside Tryna' keep them young girls quiet? [Outro: Deacon The Villain] Conditioned to hate self since we met Christians And taught that God needs negus us in full submission To man This a devilish plan To pull that monkey business off you'd need one helluva clan Ya understand? A devilish plan To pull that monkey business off you'd need one helluva Klan One helluva Klan One helluva Klan Klan Klan
