Po-Po

all my life, I had to run, nigga

all my life, I

sirens loud like "yah"

blue lights like "yah"

hands up high

im stressed out, homie, you stressed out

but if the block got us, then we still outside

 

nigga, we still outside

nigga, we still outside

we still outside

can you hear me, can you feel me? We still outside

nigga, we still outside

huh? We still outside

nigga, we still outside

can you hear me, can you feel me? We still outside

 

uh, and when I step out

I recognize they watchin' me for the setup

but karma be waitin' on them from the grave now

what badge number stop a heart from the fade out?

schemin', let me tell you 'bout this life

body cams only show you what they like

where crooked grins and cold glocks be the highlight

now tell my brothers stay sharp, but keep the steel right, Lord knows

twenty deep in the alley, tell em all they cant get me

reapin' everything they sow, so the karma come heavy

no body cam footage tell the real story

im a motherfuckin' target in the dark for the glory, uh

tell the world I know its too late

boys and girls, I think Ive lost faith

drown inside the system all day

wont you please believe when I say

 

wouldnt you know

we been hunted, been marked before, nigga

when the pride was low

lookin' at the sky like, "where do we go?" nigga

and we hate po-po

wanna leave us dead in the street for show, nigga

im at the corner store

my hands in the air but my soul might go

but we still outside

 

nigga, we still outside

nigga, we still outside

we still outside

can you hear me, can you feel me? We still outside

nigga, we still outside

huh? We still outside

nigga, we still outside

can you hear me, can you feel me? We still outside

 

what you want you, a badge? you, a gun?

forty shots in a car? a lie that they spun?

anything, see my name is target, im the one

motherfucker, you can play God for fun

I can see the devil in the blue, I can tell it, I know they do it

I dont think about it, I just memorize every last tattoo

thinkin' of my brother, put the candle out on the pavement

diggin' in my past, aint a sermon big enough to save you

every day, the trauma get another chapter just to break you

In the presence of the sirens, ah

I dont talk about it, scream about it, every night, I see it

If I fall, then you know theyll say I deserved it, Heaven cant reach me

badge number, badge number, badge number, they lie, thats all

quick draw and shoot, they plant the tool for yall

I walk, I black on sight, so stay alert

my rights, my wrongs, I write 'til they respect my worth

 

wouldnt you know

we been hunted, been marked before, nigga

when the pride was low

lookin' at the sky like, "where do we go?" nigga

and we hate po-po

wanna leave us dead in the street for show, nigga

im at the corner store

my hands in the air but my soul might go

but we still outside

 

nigga, we still outside

nigga, we still outside

we still outside

can you hear me, can you feel me? We still outside

nigga, we still outside

huh? We still outside

nigga, we still outside

can you hear me, can you feel me? We still outside

 

I keep my hands up high

I cross my heart and hope to survive

lovin' me is complicated

too afraid of the night I made it

im alive, but your the danger

blue lights in my prayers

 

I remembered you was conflicted

misusing your power, sometimes I saw the same

abusing the badge, full of resentment

resentment that turned into a deadly confrontation

found myself screamin' on the concrete floor

I didnt wanna be a ghost

the evils of the law was all around me

so I went runnin' for my soul
