tell the children to
tell the children to
when they tell you not to do something
you cannot do it
and if you
they’ll repeat you like a child
you would be shot down
tell the children to hide down and keep running,running,running
they’re gaining on us
they’re gaining on us
keep running,running,running,running
we’re in the crib
it’s a quarter past ten
where your brother at?
right up in his room
pulled a cover bag
where im from, niggaz lead the portion
they don’t make it back
release life when it starts passing
what brings you here with this occassion?
boys been gunned down
the boys are having fun now
with our blood and our songs disturbing the peace
he was more afraid than him
when he was with the peace
let me drop
she hollow :oh my god
they’re profilers
and they wonder why we grow up being prejudices
so violent
the trick was down from the rich to the poor
they will fuck with you
cause they don’t believe it is yours
registration,i’ll give these streets motivation
they wanna take us out
i’m fed up
police coming so we spread up
keep your head up
tell the children to hide down and keep running,running,running
they’re gaining on us
they’re gaining on us
keep running,running,running,running
king died for us
niggaz living in poverty
50 years later we still don’t have equality
it bothers me
a badge is a pass to do whatever
so now we living in fear
of the people here to protect us
yo, they lie and disrespect us
kill us, and then neglect us
the problem when nobody
sees the view from our perspective
my people shed blood from the acres you had stole
now my people shedding blood
on the gravel left in the cold
and these noobs are talking about the struggle
niggaz had it good
never had a pack down in their hood
never had to take a charge
never had to stop the car
never had to hit the stand
you would never understand
be my honey
i’ll meet you at the top just like a sunny
i really am messiah
and niggaz see me flying
tell the children to hide down and keep running,running,running
they’re gaining on us
they’re gaining on us
keep running,running,running,running
