But we got every color, we are the same man Atleast to them we are, we all immigrants We all came from a father with fake ??? Those who live on welfare, keep on takin' your sh** But that's taxes, and f** you, we ain't takin your sh** We keep on bangin' on the system, hell yeah Pimp the system for the people in the school Slaving workers in the kitchen yeah So why you closin' our schools 'round here? You need to pay the teachers more 'round here For the work that they put in with all the evil 'round here And n***ah tell me what you do if you got moved out here Bangin' On The System, we Bangin' On The System, we Bangin' On The System, we Bangin' Bangin' Bangin' Bangin' Bangin' for the sisters and the brothers in the same boat We got the same angry, pulling the same rope They don't like it over here, cause where we come from How we speak it, how we walk it, just let em know some Cause I ain't pullin up my pants for nobody man We ain't lettin no police Rodney King We seen rage sh**, we seen fight sh** We seen police violating peoples rights We show no love cause they shuttin down the corner store So put your fingers up and show them what we bangin' for It's not a black and white thing, it's a black control So put your fingers up and show them what we bangin' for Bangin' On The System, we Bangin' On The System, we Bangin' On The System, we Bangin' Bangin' Bangin' Bangin' We stand up, we don't care to sit down x4 Bangin' for the mothers, we bangin' for them single parents Cause they're the glue, give us something to stick to So sh** gon' fall apart Cause over here sticks and stones break your bones But the prison is what breaks your heart Departing n***as if they find some grams on ya And that's a long time if you don't turn informer So don't ask why we bangin' on the system They breakin' up the fams, sendin' n***ahs in imprisonment And that's the reason why we bang, bang, bang, bang All day over here it's the same thing Broke people, no gimmicks for that, pal what? They try to shut us down, but we're screamin' louder Bangin' On The System, we Bangin' On The System, we Bangin' On The System, we Bangin' Bangin' Bangin' Bangin'
