[opening skit]
2
FREEZE, POLICE!! (What are you doing?!)
3
On the floor, ON THE FLOOR NOW
4
{On your stomach, get on your stomach, on your stomach!}
5
{ON YOUR STOMACH!} {*gunshots*}
6
[Paris]
7
Yo...
8
They got up out the squad car
9
Jaws hard, jarheads, they want us all dead
10
Walkin up to the door, they all saw red
11
It's one local detective, the rest is all feds
12
Kick the do' down, ripped the whole house up
13
Grandmomma asked what's wrong and got her mouth cut
14
The lead fed grabbed her by the throat, threw her up against the wall
15
and told her they won't leave without drugs
16
With no just cause, just 'cause
17
Had her tied up in her own closet wearin just drawers
18
Pants down, standin 'round sweatin and laughin
19
and high-fivin each other like - that's what's up dawg!
20
Until a blizzard of bullets blew some nuts off
21
One by one they run but got gunned off
22
Her grandson was only five but he saw the whole thang from the stairs
23
and managed to make the gun cough
24
[Chorus]
25
These streets can only see so much until they say SO WHAT
26
Let the police cars blow up, it won't be long 'til the ghetto
27
Can only take so much, of the blame gettin thrown on us
28
And politicians bodies go numb, from going dumb - SO WHAT?
29
[Paris]
30
Yeah, another visit from the social worker
31
She know her kids ain't supposed to know this dope and murder
32
He know her kids ain't supposed to notice dope and murder
33
So he let her keep 'em in exchange for some social service
34
And every week's the same, he gets so nervous
35
They snort coke, then she let him hit it 'til it hurt it
36
Typically, that's the end of the date
37
She swallows his pride, the kids can stay
38
She ain't mentioned he the reason why the baby in her stomach got her tummy out
39
When she did, he froze up and dummied out
40
Took her food stamps, put him in his book
41
Walked away then she screamed out 'Hey' and caught a left hook
42
That's when the hollow tip hot one let his chest cook
43
Shortened every breath took; her young son
44
mean muggin handcuffed as they took him away
45
Said "Momma you gon' be okay, so what~?!"
46
[Chorus]
47
[Paris]
48
She was a proud mom, a G.I. Joe mom
49
Couldn't see they lied for war, she was all for it
50
Wavin flags, sportin tags with the yellow ribbons
51
And when she said he was a hero know she really meant it
52
'Til somebody showed her proof of the ruse
53
Took her to GuerrillaFunk dot com for the hard truth
54
Showed the motive and the profiteering from the mission
55
She got mad and wrote her congressman but he ain't listen
56
So she prayed everyday that they
57
would pull the troops out the fray and they would be okay
58
All she had was her faith 'til the day the news
59
Came talkin 'bout that roadside bomb in Fallujah
60
And even though she thought she'd been through the worst
61
Mama walked into the closet, put the strap in her purse
62
And went first to the door of her congressman's home
63
Took his life 'fore takin her own, shoulda known
64
[Chorus] - repeat 2X
