  • Luke White on the beat

    You ever seen a nigga hung with a gold chain?
    I'd rather sing about the same things that we claim
    Such is bashful, but niggas like the task force
    Mobbin' on the streets and robbin' stores in ski masks, bruh
    Niggas ask for peace in a riot and bring violence
    'Cause it's a game of cat and mouse and you gon' bleed silent
    What's the justice in sayin' fuck it and grab the pump?
    Then kill a woman with many children makes you a chump
    Look at all the stores you wreckin', nigga I reckon
    Think about the people who own it for about a second
    I know you got your problems, but brother, they got theirs
    This is not a game, quit violence and grow a pair
    But yo, you'd rather hear me say, "Fuck black prejudice"
    "Let's murder different races, grow hatred, and form irrelevant"
    Views and etcetera, knives thrown
    Damage 'em, lives blown, oblivion hole cold, oblivious
    I won't dare say that you should stop the fuckin' ignorance
    Murder ops, killin' shit, I'd enjoy the thrill of it
    Bath in blood of officers, different corpses, offin' 'em
    Auction 'em, don't you bark at 'em
    Murder 'em, never heard of 'em
    I could preach the peace but say "fuck it" and preach the murder
    'Cause this ain't fuckin' life that we livin'
    Go ahead and grab the extension
    Grab another one: uncle, cousin, brother, son
    Glory to all the chosen ones that will rid you of the innocence
    But in a sense, innocent will soon behold the ignorance
    Blasphemous, killin' our own, murderin' black-

    We see, I see, death before the children
    White guys and white girls hanging from the buildings Writer/s: Jahseh Onfroy
