Vince Staples - Hands Up lyrics

North Division tryin' to stop my blackness I'm watchin' for them badges when out in traffic Them 9-11's been a tad bit frantic If lights start flashin', please don't panic The DEA givin' out gang enhancements Can barely even hang to build a case off cameras CCAT trackin' criminal patterns Trickin' n***as into takin' strikes to get out faster Freedom bribery n***a, 'cause we hardly acquit Social media that leave the flash photography snitchin' Blame geography n***a, for the pride in these n***as Take you when they fingerprint you, now you part of the system This was all a part of Huey P. and Bobby prediction Makin' profit off of violence, they arousin' attention Leaders risin' lead to twenty-five to life in the prison Better watch it 'cause I know they got a spot for you n***a Yeah, put your hands in the air Put your hands in the air Put your hands in the air n***a freeze, put your hands in the air Yeah, put your hands in the air Put your hands in the air Put your hands in the air n***a freeze, put your hands in the air Deangelo Lopez and Tyler Woods Just a couple they gunned down around the hood I guess the pigs split wigs for the greater good 'Cause I ain't seen them lock a swine up yet At the most they rea**ign 'em to prevent protest Just your color is enough to get you under arrest Strong hand to the law got me feelin' oppressed If you flippin', k** a fifty, then you get in a chair Payin' taxes for some f**in' clowns to ride around Whoopin' n***as a**es, scared to man up Handcuffs givin' n***as gashes on the wrist I used to lift my fist to fight the power with Older homie told me in his day the pigs was plantin' bricks In the trunks of n***a's Chevrolets them traffic stops and sh** Raidin' homes without a warrant Shoot him first without a warning And they expect respect and non-violence I refuse the right to be silent Yeah, put your hands in the air Put your hands in the air Put your hands in the air n***a freeze, put your hands in the air Yeah, put your hands in the air Put your hands in the air Put your hands in the air n***a freeze, put your hands in the air LBPD, no they ain't 'bout sh** LAPD, no they ain't 'bout sh** LASD, no they ain't 'bout sh** Ridin' 'round these streets givin' out full clips Yeah, put your hands in the air Put your hands in the air Put your hands in the air n***a freeze, put your hands in the air Yeah, put your hands in the air Put your hands in the air Put your hands in the air n***a freeze, put your hands in the air
