I was looking at the news and what I saw wasn't good
The police had shot another youngster right in my hood
I shook my head in disbelief that this could happen again
That this time it was close to home cause it was one of my friends
I started tripping when I found out, they went and they got him
They tasered him, plus he had on handcuffs when they shot him
Five bullets to his back and not one to the chest
And then them crackers lied and said 'he was resisting arrested'
My phone ring my potna ask if I was watching the news
The whole hood had strapped up, ready to get these fools
I was ready to retaliate for real I ain't lying
Espically when I saw his momma on that TV crying
When I hit the block I couldn't believe the seen I was scoppin'
I ain't never seen that many guns just out in the open
Hit the police station, when the thoughts of attackin'
The games changes when they see they ain't the only ones packin'
Yeah

I went to the club with my potna just to kick it and laugh
We ain't plan on staying long by the hour, hour and a half
Somebody was shooting a video, the camera crew was fliming (fosho)
We just posted up against the wall just checking out women
My boy went to the bar to grab a drink and thangs was fine
I see him hollering at a female but I ain't pay him no mind
Next thang you know some fool yelled and pushed through the line
And bust my boy across the head, with a bottle of wine (man hol'up)
Do you think that should we just leave and swallow our pride?
The dude who did it, and his potna's quickly bailed outside
I looked across the club and seen my homie from the Dead End
Knew he was crazy, and he wasn't even a week out the pen
He said you know the code in the game, say the word in our click (yeah)
But you can't come back to the hood without handling these tricks
We hit the parking lot and start chopping without no warning
You wanna know what happen to em, read the paper in the morning
YEAH!

I ain't no gangsta, but sometimes I fuck around with em [x4]
But every homeboy that I roll with, they know that I'll get down with em
