[Z-Ro]
3
Who else but me, can see the state of emergency that we face
4
Cause wearin of certain clothin can get a brother a case
5
Talkin pants, Air Force Ones, and a baseball cap
6
It's casual, but to authorities it mean you sellin crack
7
It's a shame I can't ride on the rich side of town
8
Without bein pulled over, thrown on the hood and patted down
9
Searchin my person for weapons and drug paraphenalia
10
It's rough on a thug that's what I'm tellin ya
11
When I say thug, I don't mean I'm 'sposed to be locked behind bars
12
Cause my acronym for thug is True Hero Under God
13
But still I'm a criminal cause I got gold teeth
14
Ain't no justice for blacks, just-us with no sleep
15
And they wonder why I keep a Glock 40 on my hip
16
Cause Houston police department love to empty full clips
17
Accidental death? Bullshit! They murdered all my eses
18
Chinga tu madre de policina {?} puente
19
If they get out of line, I get out of line
20
I'll be damned if I don't fight for my freedom and don't mind dyin
21
Already got one foot in the grave, ain't shit for me to jump in
22
Almost overdosin on codeine, heart barely pumpin
23
I'm high all the time, straight addicted
24
Paranoid, my dog might be a detective, so I don't wanna kick it
25
Even though I don't rob banks or sell street rocks
26
I still be callin collect to Trae to say, come bail me out
27
This crooked-ass America, I swear they got some game
28
Every city I travel to, the situation the same
29
I can't even say it's racial cause I got some white friends
30
Then again, they get patted cause I'm not a white friend
31
It's a shame
32
[Chorus: Z-Ro]
33
Bad enough they wanna follow me around the sto'
34
Like I'ma steal somethin, thinkin I ain't got no dough
35
And if I died tonight, they'll think I did a crime for it
36
Offer me 25, insistin that I sign for it
37
Why I can't drive a fancy ride and rock diamonds and gold
38
Why every time I shine you wanna crucify my soul
39
Under investigation cause the ghetto on parole
40
Something's wrong, if I'm not flowin it's a shame
41
[Z-Ro]
42
27 years of struggle is all I saw
43
I done lost homies to homies, and homies to the law
44
Everywhere I lay my head, dere been homicides
45
I done seen so many murders since the day my momma died
46
I ain't lyin, will I remit, will I survive, can I breathe?
47
Cause I don't see too many Christians as murderers and thieves
48
And I never seen a man cry, until I seen a man die
49
But he was tryin to do me so I had to make that man fly
50
Will the authorities understand self-defense
51
All they give a damn about is who did it and evidence
52
Screamin guilty to take another thug off the street
53
Prejudiced prosecutors can't keep no blood off the street
54
I'm one deep, if I gotta use my burner, I'm safe
55
I ain't gotta go "Rollin' on the River" like Tina Turner
56
Cause this crooked-ass America, I swear they got some game
57
Innocent until never found guilty, but still in chains
58
It's a shame
59
[Chorus]
