| [00:00.37] |
I know radio prolly ain't gonna play this |
| [00:02.52] |
|
| [00:03.44] |
But chopper going off in the hood man |
| [00:04.83] |
Like Afghanistan or the Gaza |
| [00:06.27] |
Strip somewhere man. |
| [00:07.22] |
|
| [00:08.66] |
Yeah, we hear it so much |
| [00:10.87] |
We probably numb to it by now. |
| [00:12.10] |
|
| [00:12.80] |
After all, it's the American way right? |
| [00:15.33] |
Home of the brave and free |
| [00:17.25] |
|
| [00:18.08] |
(It's America) |
| [00:18.91] |
Free just to murder me |
| [00:21.20] |
(Land of the handgun) |
| [00:22.61] |
Land of the beautiful |
| [00:25.15] |
(Home of the shotgun) |
| [00:26.58] |
Cursed by the hate we throw |
| [00:28.35] |
(You're dead if you ain't got one) |
| [00:29.45] |
Is this the new national anthem? |
| [00:34.38] |
It was like this before I got here baby, |
| [00:36.15] |
I ain't do it |
| [00:36.79] |
Is this the new national anthem? |
| [00:39.94] |
(I ain't start it, I'm just a part of it) |
| [00:41.94] |
|
| [00:43.16] |
Turn it |
| [00:43.54] |
|
| [00:44.81] |
You say this the home |
| [00:45.53] |
Of the brave I guess |
| [00:46.47] |
I say this the home |
| [00:47.23] |
Of the K's and the vets |
| [00:48.22] |
All alone with the J's smoking yay |
| [00:49.43] |
Cause he stressed |
| [00:50.09] |
On chrome with a Tek |
| [00:50.85] |
Taught to spray for respect |
| [00:52.04] |
I learned from the best |
| [00:52.99] |
Used to stay in the jects |
| [00:54.03] |
Bought work from the vets |
| [00:54.95] |
Burning rubber in the vets |
| [00:55.71] |
This as good as it gets |
| [00:56.59] |
Used to play with the rats |
| [00:57.64] |
Then I got older and learned |
| [00:58.55] |
Stay away from the rats |
| [00:59.55] |
God blessed this nigga, |
| [01:00.33] |
To hustle up and make eight figures |
| [01:01.86] |
Turned from a goon |
| [01:02.75] |
To a great young nigga |
| [01:03.74] |
No complaining |
| [01:04.32] |
Just doing what it take young nigga |
| [01:05.50] |
I was raised in a decade |
| [01:06.58] |
Of hate young nigga |
| [01:07.59] |
Always dodging polices |
| [01:08.15] |
Because they hate young niggas |
| [01:09.44] |
And we hate them too, |
| [01:10.33] |
38 in him shoe |
| [01:11.24] |
All the changes the system |
| [01:12.10] |
Will take him through |
| [01:13.02] |
He ain't a killer |
| [01:13.71] |
But he will if you make him do it |
| [01:15.25] |
Homicide he'll ride, |
| [01:15.79] |
They'll put him on trial |
| [01:16.71] |
Let him have a life |
| [01:17.42] |
Sentence then do it with a smile |
| [01:18.85] |
And he only 19, |
| [01:19.50] |
He ain't even had a child |
| [01:20.50] |
As a child, told his mama |
| [01:21.37] |
He'll be gone for a while |
| [01:22.27] |
And she cried, |
| [01:23.03] |
Still they just put him inside |
| [01:24.29] |
Now she all on her own |
| [01:25.32] |
Because her other son died |
| [01:26.29] |
Listen to the politician |
| [01:26.97] |
As he lied and he lied |
| [01:28.07] |
He a snake in a suit, |
| [01:29.17] |
Trying to hide in disguise |
| [01:30.28] |
Home of the brave and free |
| [01:32.32] |
(Well damn officer what did I do?) |
| [01:33.95] |
Free just to murder me |
| [01:35.99] |
Naw hold up man don't shoot, |
| [01:36.93] |
I live over there |
| [01:37.51] |
Land of the beautiful |
| [01:39.54] |
(A man what you doin) |
| [01:41.52] |
Cursed by the hate we throw |
| [01:43.81] |
(You trippin dawg) |
| [01:44.53] |
Is this the new national anthem |
| [01:49.99] |
|
| [01:51.82] |
Is this the new national anthem |
| [01:57.91] |
|
| [01:59.64] |
For the stars and the stripes |
| [02:00.59] |
Prison bars and the pipe |
| [02:01.49] |
Young nigga rolling weed |
| [02:02.13] |
In a cigar he can light |
| [02:03.12] |
Bang red either blue selling hard |
| [02:04.37] |
And the white |
| [02:05.17] |
Live by the gun, |
| [02:05.87] |
Never run from a fight |
| [02:06.96] |
Trayvon in a hoodie, |
| [02:07.83] |
Walking through the neighborhood he |
| [02:08.79] |
Didn't do shit to buddy, |
| [02:09.69] |
He didn't have to die did he? |
| [02:10.72] |
I guess it's because his dad |
| [02:11.61] |
Was a judge in the city |
| [02:12.53] |
They didn't want him in the pen |
| [02:13.58] |
With the thugs that could get him |
| [02:14.70] |
A jury of his peers |
| [02:15.50] |
Said all was forgiven |
| [02:16.33] |
But touch one of mine, |
| [02:17.15] |
Right or wrong, |
| [02:17.69] |
I'ma kill them |
| [02:18.24] |
Fill them with the lead |
| [02:19.07] |
Like they put in Martin Luther King's head |
| [02:20.38] |
Like they killed Malcolm X, |
| [02:21.46] |
Edgar Hoover did that |
| [02:22.19] |
You can catch me in the hood |
| [02:23.49] |
Where they shooting niggas at |
| [02:24.41] |
They don't know if Neighborhood |
| [02:25.10] |
Or the Hoovers did that |
| [02:25.95] |
Whether Piru or VL's |
| [02:26.64] |
|
| [02:27.29] |
Or GDs wit me we |
| [02:28.08] |
Down to uprise |
| [02:28.81] |
From the OG's to peewees |
| [02:30.22] |
Home of the brave and free |
| [02:32.51] |
(Don't get it f**ked up) |
| [02:33.83] |
Free just to murder me |
| [02:35.32] |
If you ain't found something |
| [02:36.15] |
You're willing to die for, |
| [02:36.90] |
You ain't fit to live |
| [02:37.76] |
Land of the beautiful |
| [02:39.60] |
To get something you've never had, |
| [02:40.59] |
You must be willing to do something |
| [02:41.66] |
You've never done |
| [02:42.12] |
Cursed by the hate we throw |
| [02:43.46] |
(I'ma die by mine) |
| [02:44.30] |
Is this the new national anthem |
| [02:50.62] |
|
| [02:51.86] |
Is this the new national anthem |
| [02:57.41] |
|
| [02:58.97] |
What are you doing |
| [03:00.27] |
Let me ask you something. |
| [03:01.62] |
If the kids are the future, |
| [03:02.72] |
Tell me why you |
| [03:03.44] |
Can get more for being C.O., |
| [03:04.78] |
Than you can for being a teacher. |
| [03:06.20] |
|
| [03:06.94] |
Tell me why it means |
| [03:07.80] |
More to the government |
| [03:08.61] |
To pay the people |
| [03:09.25] |
Who got to watch over the prisoners, |
| [03:11.07] |
More than the people |
| [03:11.78] |
Who got to keep the children |
| [03:12.73] |
From becoming prisoners. |
| [03:13.60] |
|
| [03:14.14] |
That make sense? |
| [03:15.03] |
Tell me why 9 ounces |
| [03:16.18] |
Of crack will get you more time |
| [03:17.50] |
Than a rape right now. |
| [03:18.50] |
|
| [03:19.03] |
Tell me why them crazy white boys |
| [03:20.37] |
Can tote a gun |
| [03:21.26] |
But I can't right now. |
| [03:22.30] |
|
| [03:23.79] |
Yea I had felonies, |
| [03:24.44] |
I done did dirt in the streets, |
| [03:25.72] |
But I ain't ever gave it |
| [03:26.59] |
To anybody that didn't deserve it. |
| [03:27.56] |
You know what I mean? |
| [03:28.49] |
|
| [03:30.20] |
I ain't ever ran in no public place |
| [03:31.51] |
With no pistol shooting |
| [03:32.30] |
No innocent people. |
| [03:32.84] |
I ain't never ran in no school, |
| [03:34.04] |
Killing no kids. |
| [03:34.93] |
|
| [03:35.79] |
Man this is the result of you refusing |
| [03:37.22] |
To deal with the issues at hand. |
| [03:38.98] |
|
| [03:39.92] |
We are a product of the environment |
| [03:41.33] |
You placed us in |
| [03:42.24] |
|
| [03:43.18] |
We ain't do it |
| [03:44.26] |
We just lived through it |
| [03:45.19] |
Home of the brave and free |
| [03:47.08] |
(Message to my people) |
| [03:47.97] |
|
| [03:48.79] |
Free just to murder me |
| [03:50.56] |
Stop waiting on folk to help you, |
| [03:51.86] |
Help yourself, it starts with you |
| [03:52.86] |
Land of the beautiful |
| [03:54.44] |
Get yourself out, reach back, |
| [03:55.83] |
Get somebody else out |
| [03:56.62] |
Cursed by the hate we throw |

Is this the new national anthem |
