[20 seconds of instrumental to open][Z-Ro]Who else but me, can see the state of emergency that we faceCause wearin of certain clothin can get a brother a caseTalkin pants, Air Force Ones, and a baseball capIt's casual, but to authorities it mean you sellin crackIt's a shame I can't ride on the rich side of townWithout bein pulled over, thrown on the hood and patted downSearchin my person for weapons and drug paraphenaliaIt's rough on a thug that's what I'm tellin yaWhen I say thug, I don't mean I'm 'sposed to be locked behind barsCause my acronym for thug is True Hero Under GodBut still I'm a criminal cause I got gold teethAin't no justice for blacks, just-us with no sleepAnd they wonder why I keep a Glock 40 on my hipCause Houston police department love to empty full clipsAccidental death? Bullshit! They murdered all my esesChinga tu madre de policina {?} puenteIf they get out of line, I get out of lineI'll be damned if I don't fight for my freedom and don't mind dyinAlready got one foot in the grave, ain't shit for me to jump inAlmost overdosin on codeine, heart barely pumpinI'm high all the time, straight addictedParanoid, my dog might be a detective, so I don't wanna kick itEven though I don't rob banks or sell street rocksI still be callin collect to Trae to say, come bail me outThis crooked-ass America, I swear they got some gameEvery city I travel to, the situation the sameI can't even say it's racial cause I got some white friendsThen again, they get patted cause I'm not a white friendIt's a shame[Chorus: Z-Ro]Bad enough they wanna follow me around the sto'Like I'ma steal somethin, thinkin I ain't got no doughAnd if I died tonight, they'll think I did a crime for itOffer me 25, insistin that I sign for itWhy I can't drive a fancy ride and rock diamonds and goldWhy every time I shine you wanna crucify my soulUnder investigation cause the ghetto on paroleSomething's wrong, if I'm not flowin it's a shame[Z-Ro]27 years of struggle is all I sawI done lost homies to homies, and homies to the lawEverywhere I lay my head, dere been homicidesI done seen so many murders since the day my momma diedI ain't lyin, will I remit, will I survive, can I breathe?Cause I don't see too many Christians as murderers and thievesAnd I never seen a man cry, until I seen a man dieBut he was tryin to do me so I had to make that man flyWill the authorities understand self-defenseAll they give a damn about is who did it and evidenceScreamin guilty to take another thug off the streetPrejudiced prosecutors can't keep no blood off the streetI'm one deep, if I gotta use my burner, I'm safeI ain't gotta go Rollin' on the River like Tina TurnerCause this crooked-ass America, I swear they got some gameInnocent until never found guilty, but still in chainsIt's a shame[Chorus]
