Fuck atleast i get to die an awesome death
vexed and beaten by cops that's the cost of breath
round here it's bleek in memphis' poor surroundings
when the cops raid and johnny law surrounds rings
of druglords but this time that is not the case
a young basketball star was shot in the face
but that's nothing because last week this kid was
handcuffed and maimed from beatings cuz his crib was
where the dealers chilled and he was just 13
there were more after him he was just the third teen
in the past 2 months i'm older scared to death
we'll be gone cuz black folk are impaired to sex
at the rife rate their will be no trace of us
Sharpton and Cochran couldn't even win this case for us
Years passed now i lived to me 21 cops
leave me alone cuz i'm one of them now gun shots
chimes in and ruin my trip down memory lane
my face ached, my legs stopped memories of pain
flooded my mind and then ceased but they were not mine
i ran two more blocks to the scene of the crime
saw a man getting his ass whipped by the cops
i ran over to help and here comes pain i drop
to my knees wish that all this shit was a dream
brisk kicks to my mid-section this was the dream
i realized then that the kids shot and beaten
i was them that on my mind i went to heaven
i'll give the links in a minute
