  • Ready for the war we got our boots strapped
    100 deep on State Street
    Where the troops at?
    The mayor lying saying he didn't see the video footage
    And everybody want to know where the truth at
    On the South side where it's no trauma centers, but the most trauma
    A lot of cannons but you don't want no drama
    I can't imagine if it was my own mama
    Got her first born son stole from her, he never had a chance
    And we all know its cause he black
    Shot 'em 16 times, how fucked up is that?
    Now the police superintendent wanna double back
    Cops speeding up to the block like a runnin' back
    Tension is high, man these niggas is irate
    You can see it in they eyes, they wanna violate
    Screaming out "Oink! Oink! Bang! Bang! Gang! Gang! Gang! Gang! Murder! Murder!"
    Murder they mind state
    I just made me a mil' and still militant
    This ain't conscious rap, this shit ignorant
    Nigga, hair trigger
    Ain't no fun when the rabbit got the gun
    When I cock back, police better run

    1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, fuck 12
    1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, fuck 12
    16 shots
    And we buckin' back
    16 shots
    16 shots
    And we buckin' back
    16 shots

    They threw a little girl down on the pavement
    Pushed her off the bike and said, "Stay out the way, bitch"
    She was bleedin' on the ground through her braces
    This is what happens when niggas don't stay in their places
    The mayor duckin' when he fired the superintendent
    But resignation come with bonuses and recognition
    So we gon' break in the stores on Magnificent Mile
    And if we gotta go, let's go to prison in style
    Cops killin' kids and stayin' out of jail
    But Bobby Shmurda can't even catch bail
    So it's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
    Now I got everybody yellin' out, "Fuck 12"

    1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, fuck 12
    1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, fuck 12
    16 shots
    And we buckin' back
    16 shots
    16 shots
    And we buckin' back
    16 shots

    There's a war on drugs, but the drugs keep winnin'
    There's a war on guns, but the guns keep ringin'

    Me and Lord got a clip with an extendo
    And we rollin' with it, hangin' out the window
    We on 16th ridin' by the police station
    We might make a pork rind out of pig, bro
    Somebody tell these mothafuckas keep they hands off me
    I ain't a mothafuckin' slave, keep your chains off me
    You better hope this 9 millimeter jam on me
    Or get blown, I hope you got your body cam turnt on
    Fuck a black cop too, that's the same fight
    You got a badge, bitch, but you still ain't white
    This for Laquan on sight, when you see Van Dyke
    Tell him I don't bring a knife to a gunfight

    1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, fuck 12
    1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, fuck 12
    16 shots
    And we buckin' back
    16 shots
    16 shots
    And we buckin' back
    16 shots

    There's a war on drugs, but the drugs keep winnin'
    There's a war on guns, but the guns keep ringin'
    Singin'
