Like or Hate

What more proof you need? Just look and see
Why should I trust police? Why must I clutch my kids
Investigate what? That man got shot and killed
This is really, really pissing me off. They thinking we soft

We used to be kings and lords. We hunted with spears and swords
But look at us now. Should we prepare for war
Should we obey the law? We get pulled over
But where's the probable cause

It's been years of bodily harm. Who cares that his vitals are gone
Unarmed and he lost his life. His mom, she could only cry
Her thoughts if her son was white. Enforced with a painful spite
That's a dangerous mind. And it's all on vid. That's a dangerous sign

Like when I write and the rhymes are tight
Hate when the state makes more mistakes
Like they're right but they're really wrong
Hate cause the hood always have to be strong

Like when I write and the rhymes are tight

There's two things you can do in life that's like a hate
Choose one, it's like your faith
You like your state? Might not like that place
Let's fight, let's make a case

Cause most of the time it's following rules
We know the ones who break em, follow the news
We go to jail for a plant that relieve our stress
It's a mess how they test and you feel like less

But the best is the ones who they choose to arrest
In the hood I see the white and blue cars as pests
I know you hear a little anger, the reason is just
They treat us like we the ones who need a vest

And we supposed to put our fucking life in their hands
I can still see em rolling in the night in them vans
The cops-is human they could have their own plans
Gotta stop what they doing before they ruin our land

Like, when I write and the rhymes are tight
Hate, when the state make small mistakes
Like, they're right but they're really wrong
Hate, cause the hood always have to be strong

Like, when I write and the rhymes are tight
Hate, when the state make small mistakes
Like, they're right but they're really wrong
Hate, cause the hood always have to be strong

Now I gotta move on
Can't get through the traffic when I blow my horn
Gotta change my form
They got me boxed in from morn till dawn

I'm in the second day with nothing to say
If I run I know they won't hesitate to spray
Mace and face if I could change my race
Switch the pace won't have to ditch the place

I hate that even a four year old can see they hate black
Trying to make people see through the fake act
Not gonna work we fall in the same trap
Explain that I will cause I went through the same

Going to school drove me insane
All I saw was kids running around and playing
It felt like a game but then the bell rang at three o'clock
And I saw my whole block it was flooded with cops

I lived across the street in my project building
I'm thinking why all of this for children
No answers we run around trapped in cages like hamsters
Cause they treat us just like pets

But I'm one sick dog who don't need a vet
I'ma get it out now so I don't regret
It's about damn time that we get respect
What the heck we didn't just crash we wrecked

Like when I write and the rhymes are tight
Hate when the state makes more mistakes
Like they're right but they're really wrong
Hate cause the hood always have to be strong

Like when I write and the rhymes are tight
Hate when the state makes more mistakes
Like they're right but they're really wrong
Hate cause the hood always have to be strong
