[Verse One: Bambu]
2
No surprise I'm from a gang bang culture
3
But we can keep it civil or pull a thang thang on ya
4
Southern California where the sun don't quit
5
And to generational gangs so son's don't quit
6
But immediately you see the problems that's in my city
7
Is secondary to what's propelling it in my city
8
I mean really break it down
9
Take poor black and brown
10
Educate 'em poor, take the jobs from out they town
11
Then inundate 'em with sedative drugs and dumb TV
12
Locked into a zoo and hunted daily by the police
13
Then you get a group of youth who know they don't belong
14
Then they gather up and organize and number up strong
15
But see the failure isn't seeing that the problem ain't the gang
16
It's the situation in the communities where we hang
17
So I'm so pro gang it might scare a motherfucker
18
Cause I fix the misconception that the enemies are brothers
19

[Verse Two: Bambu]
29
I tell 'em
30
I went from a street gang thang
31
Then I joined a military Fleet Marine Force thing
32
From a little bitty gang in the south of Los Angeles
33
To dragging bodies outta they house to help our government
34
Who hellbent on keeping money spent on the missile
35
Reality's the difference between them shit's is little
36
We had the objective of arming up all the money
37
And they had the objective of arming up over money
38
And we told kids, "Join us, we the truth."
39
Lies about protecting our block to get recruits
40
Then we found out we getting killed for a hood
41
And we don't own a single speck of dirt on that hood
42
Whether in a zone down south in Decatur
43
Or in flatlands off of Lennox and La Brea
44
Or in a low rise project in Chicago
45
Big money come in and buy up our barrio so...
46
[Hook]
47
Throw you sets up
48
We 'bout to upset the setup
49
We 'bout to upset the setup
50
Up-upset the setup
51
Thr-throw your sets up
52
We 'bout to upset the setup
53
U-U-U-Upset the setup
54
Up-upset the setup
55
[Verse Three: Killer Mike]
56
BGF brothers, the real...Freeway Ricky Ross and Chris Dutters
57
I do my thang for Hoover, I represent for Fort
58
So my folk and my people throw they set to support
59
Support will mean imagine, she might say the Chi
60
So maybe next summer no mamas gotta cry
61
Cause maybe next summer nobody gotta die
62
Hell, even if we fail, somebody gotta try
63
The only way the system move, is somebody gotta lie
64
And the lie they told us old, they base it on your race
65
They separate: you black, you brown, you yellow and white face
66
Then we further separate by joining gangs and legislate
67
That our neighborhoods are now at war like we are separate states
68
So the police occupy our hood to keep down all the drama
69
So the Starbucks they just built is comfortable for soccer mamas
70
And American Apparel comfortable for all the hipsters
71
And it's zero tolerance for all you spics and you niggas
72
And you chinks and you crackers
73
And it ain't about who whiter and it ain't about who blacker
74
But the money is a factor
75
And the factor is the factories got moved up out da hood
76
When starvation is present and absent is the job
77
A man will simply starve, or he will form a mob
78
If you should form a mafia, then you should think Sicilian
79
Buy the hood for real, every block, every building
80
Every building, feed the children, gang bang
81
Building
82
Feed the children, feed the children, gang bang, on the system
