Truck North[00:00:02]
Yeah[00:00:13]
Through the sirens the lights is blindin'[00:00:41]
Battlecry sound off warriors dyin'[00:00:44]
Last call at the bar with the snakes and tyrants[00:00:46]
Hands up That's a massacre the cops kept firin'[00:00:49]
Run amok keep y'all eternally cryin'[00:00:51]
And fed up[00:00:54]
Place red stains on global giants[00:00:54]
The brain of Orson Welles[00:00:57]
Stuck in a masterpiece Citizen Kane's personal hell[00:00:58]
It's dark and it's hot where them hustlers dwell[00:01:02]
And the air bears a stench of a corpse's smell[00:01:04]
Homie down on his luck one foot in a jail[00:01:07]
And he down to his last with a quarter to sell[00:01:10]
This right here world premiere of the last days[00:01:12]
The final paragraphs to the book's last page[00:01:15]
You can feel it comin' no runnin' away[00:01:17]
Let's get free or let's get paid[00:01:20]
Same s**t different day[00:01:22]
The cornerstone to where I lay[00:01:23]
Is shattered glass and crack bags where they play[00:01:25]
And scattered a*s is passed in ridiculous ways[00:01:28]
These cats chef like they Isaac Hayes[00:01:30]
Parallel to the grave[00:01:32]
Stuck in the game with no rules[00:01:34]
And we're screaming for some water and some edible food[00:01:35]
Man I'm right there rabbit ears nothin' to lose[00:01:38]
This is what you ain't learnin' in school[00:01:41]
I'm tryin' to tell ya it's hard[00:01:42]
A loaf a bread milk and eggs stick of butter man[00:01:44]
Somebody mother lies dead in the gutter[00:01:46]
Sherrif down by them kids talkin' that gutter[00:01:49]
Tell them kids Don't look under those covers man[00:01:51]
Loaf a bread milk and eggs stick of butter man[00:01:54]
Somebody mother lies dead in the gutter[00:01:57]
Sherrif down by them kids talkin' that gutter[00:01:59]
Tell them kids Don't look under those covers man[00:02:02]
Black Thought[00:02:04]
Check it out[00:02:04]
A child is born his mother is gone[00:02:04]
He in the middle of it literally tusslin' strong[00:02:06]
For his life[00:02:09]
The tide high in the eye of the storm[00:02:10]
A mannish boy arrive and the riot is on[00:02:12]
With no time to try to respond or prepare[00:02:14]
'Times it's hard not becomin' a headline[00:02:17]
Or prayin' in the night when it's bedtime[00:02:19]
Or layin' ya head down[00:02:21]
'Cause you already know what it is now[00:02:22]
You know a lot of leaders ain't honest[00:02:24]
And they can't keep a promise[00:02:26]
And I hate to speak about it[00:02:27]
But it's all freakanomics[00:02:29]
Cramped and proud of it you amped and you rowdy[00:02:30]
Treadin' water tryin' lift up your head without drownin'[00:02:32]
This type of s**t can make ya heart stop poundin'[00:02:35]
But you pushin' for the top too scared to stop[00:02:38]
Now it get's deep bodies are floatin' around in the streets[00:02:40]
Lotta people who won't even be around in a week[00:02:43]
Man get the operation gone[00:02:45]
What y'all waitin' on[00:02:47]
We been patient y'all mu'f**kas takin' long[00:02:48]
The television gettin' all the information wrong[00:02:51]
Doin' how they do it gettin' they miseducation on[00:02:53]
They already late[00:02:56]
Somebody been was supposed to regulate[00:02:57]
Instead of wait before they let the levee break[00:02:59]
You try runnin from the truth but it's givin' chase[00:03:01]
Got to ask myself yo[00:03:04]
Is any n***a safe[00:03:05]
A loaf a bread milk and eggs stick of butter man[00:03:07]
Somebody mother lies dead in the gutter[00:03:09]
Sherrif down by them kids talkin' that gutter[00:03:11]
Tell them kids Don't look under those covers man[00:03:14]
Loaf a bread milk and eggs stick of butter man[00:03:17]
Somebody mother lies dead in the gutter[00:03:19]
Sherrif down by them kids talkin' that gutter[00:03:22]
Tell them kids Don't look under those covers man[00:03:24]
A loaf a bread milk and eggs stick of butter man[00:03:27]
Somebody mother lies dead in the gutter[00:03:30]
Sherrif down by them kids talkin' that gutter[00:03:32]
Tell them kids Don't look under those covers man[00:03:35]
