The Law

[CNN Anchor Don Lemon] We need to say there’s some video that is out there that has been reported by other news organizations [Michael Brown’s Mother (Lesley McSpadden)] I’ve been here my whole life! I ain’t never had to go through nothin’ like this Don’t none of y’all know me, but I don’t nothin’ to nobody Anybody say so, they’re a liar They’re a damn liar [Man] It’s somebody son, that was somebody’s child Y’ALL MURDERDED HER FUCKING SON! [Michael Brown’s Father] BURN THIS BITCH DOWN! BURN THIS BITCH DOWN! [Hook - K. Jayz] I don’t know about y’all, but I’m really getting tired of the law Cause even if you try to abide, they still wanna see you locked up in the doghouse So I won’t care about the law until the law cares for me Cause to them, they’ll see me as a threat long as I walk around chillin’ with the homies [Verse - K. Jayz] Better watch your back You never know who the fuck gonna blast It could be yo’ homie, or it could be the police that blast you in the back Or the stomach or the face Cause you just another race Or maybe you fit the description of another nigga they tryna chase But it still don’t matter, what is going on this country that stay living wrong? Corrupt individuals in the government A country for the people but police is runnin’ it Bendin’ round corners, you would think they was thugs how they roll up on us And they lock up a nigga smoking marijuana before they lock up a serial killer that’s upon us Damn Way too many people don’t know the truth You might be innocent, but then you see the boys in blue True, they not all the same, but it’s a good disguise for a criminal to fool you The conflict ain’t about the race They tryna divide us by making it seem that way So what the hell you supposed to do? You just gotta be ready whenever you see the fools Act calmly, don’t look twice, it’s the one time Sometimes I think hard about life Like why the fuck we got stereotypes? But a lot of times, they really right We never wanna move forward, except for the generation that is older We need unity If we have that, there’ll be less eulogies [Hook] [Interlude - Eazy-E] Cops put a hurtin' on your ass, man, you know, they really degrade you White folks don't believe that shit, they don't believe that cops degrade you [Imitating white person] Oh come on, those people, those people are resisting arrest [Hook x2]
