I live in the city that never sleeps, cops don’t sleep either..
Cops out giving years for small misdemeanors..
Some of us go to school and we write rhymes..
Some get locked up and drop out, prison pipeline..
Try our best to do good, stay in the right mind..
Just because they feel like it they giving out lifetime..
They’re to step up the 250..
See me walking in the street they wanna stop and frisk me..
i ain’t packing no guns, i’m just packing my books..
thats the reason why we always be shook, acting like we all crooks..
Judging us just by one single look, that just the way it is living in the hood..
Just misunderstood, we have no sense, all we think about is dollars..
Try to provoke us to fight back, so the can get us locked up..
They call spanish people s*****, and they call black people n*****..
Take in people my age, instead of the real hitters..
To those who are ignorant, this is irelavent..
This is for falsely accused kids that are innocent..

like i said falsely accused, verbally abused..
happens everyday, this ain't nothing new..
i seen it all, u wont understand my point of view..
can't dare to say u feel me, haven't been inside my shoes..
People say the NYPD is overrated..
They the reason why high school graduation's a understatement..
I state facts so people try to study my lyrics..
words like bullets, thats just the motion, ballistics..
See me wearing a hood, wanna take me into the precinct..
Dont feel safe anymore, give you my last reasons..
Wake up paranoid wonder what is gonna happen next..
Like you stay above the influence, but they got you under arrest..
no sign of respect, keep ya head, protect ya neck..
It will soon come to an end, so last thing i'll let off my chest..
Its messed up how they mostly lock up minorities..
When having rights and our safety should be their God damn priority..
