Tom Baker - Gridlock lyrics

[Intro: Ubiquitous] (x2) You heard about it but, couldn't believe it That they would k** a man, just for breathin' And you were thinking fat chance there's a reason Until you hear the BLAH BLAH then you see it [Verse 1: Ubiquitous] Well okay now they thinking that the gunplay Was just an isolated thing from the one place I tell 'em hell naw keep a celly cell on And follow (fallondell?) Alton and (Dell ron?) Out in Dallas they were caught up in the onslaught Had a couple cop ducking from the pop pop Body drop it was looking like he on top Then they k**ed that motherf**er with the bomb bot Now we cooking up the beef and the grill hot You ain't here (by the deal with the chill cot?) It's a jagged little pill in the (pill clot?) In your throat and you wonder when it will stop Greenpeace on the beach for the whale watch Innocent still sittin' in a cell block Got you wishin on a tale of the (hill bop?) Lookin' for the gold ticket in the mailbox Got a broke down livin' in my locale k**a city block business you ain't know about Donald Trump on a ticket we don't know how Everybody lined up hopin' that their vote count Maybe for their kids sake, how do you dictate The real winner when they runnin' in a fixed race Either which way, whoever you pick payed off by the rich motherf**ers in a big way Gridlock on the government of this day, and everybody in the senate on a sick day Lawmakers all caught up in the red tape, I read about it and I'm feeling like a headcase Now they sayin' that I might've made a mistake, and I probably shoulda put it on a mixtape Instead I put it on my name is on a list tape And if they k** me baby mama gets paid fu*k YALL [Hook] We can pretend we don't see it like our lids, locked Look the government is all caught up in grid, lock Read about it and you wonder when will it, stop Gotta get mine before I got caught up and get, got Grid, lock Look the government is all caught up in grid, lock Read about it and you wonder when will it, stop Gotta get mine before I get caught up and get, got [Verse 2: Godemis] Everybody so uneducated on the problem, I don't think I'll live the day to see people solve it k**in' unarmed individuals in cold blood, not stating murder what the f** I mighta called it They don't even give a sh** and everybody saw it, why would they, when they running around lawless Acting like a ghetto celebrity, when they floss it, worst kept secret everybody who lost it What's the repercussion for puttin' bodies in coffins When you got a family member running for office Moving in the circle of real k**ers and bosses, who the one to lose and they never take any losses Anybody be gone yes pardon me but your honor, I don't want to be kind, I don't want to be conquered I don't want to be caged, I don't want to be master I don't want to be instrumental in a disaster Murdering them and after, gathering all the data I can see what the media thinking don't really matter People do what they gotta do to make a move up the ladder Sticking whoever long as their pockets are getting fatter Mama's are getting madder, daddy don't give a damn If people are in the street dedicating the jam, I'm looking at mother nature hollering no mam k**ing the little piggy literally going ham And the fat cats acting like they know best Live a carefree life feeling no stress Will they ever pay for it never know I guess But they don't give a sh** about a protest I said the fat cats acting like they know best Live a carefree life feeling no stress Will they ever pay for it never know I guess But they don't give a sh** about a protest [Hook] We can pretend we don't see it like our lids, locked Look the government is all caught up in grid, lock Read about it and you wonder when will it, stop Gotta get mine before I got caught up and get, got Grid, lock Look the government is all caught up in grid, lock Read about it and you wonder when will it, stop Gotta get mine before I get caught up and get, got [Outro] Grid, lock Gotta get mine before I get caught up and- (Gunshots and screaming)
