Lyrics:
[Hook] I got a letter from the government the other day I opened and read it and burned that man The way that I live don't concern that man We gon' have to settle this another way [Verse 1] When the knuckles turn white and the eyes begin bulging I take an honest look at my life, it's insulting And I been sulking about it all week Hearing the dull screech of metal grinding the concrete And sparks dance where the worst of both worlds clash Meaning the blue tyrants and my broke ass I understand this is pawn take pawn shit But I'll be damned if you shoot me on my lawn bitch Think twice before shining that light In my drawers in the alley in the middle of the night Garbage bag and house shoes, put two and two together I ain't no drug smuggler, I'm a struggling brother I have this dream where I go nuts Dial 911 from the roof and post up Decorate your hard head when you came in the cruiser And paint rod red in the name of Abdullah [Hook] [Verse 2] What kind of sucker would I have to be after these years Of you harassing and attacking me to run and join your cavalry Imagine me all gi Joe'd up in Afghanistan somewhere prepared to go nuts You clinically crazy if you think you could pay me A figure that could make me slay these innocent babies I identify with a slave wishing to break free He was victimised by the same system that raped me Look at us poor just trying to get our foot in the door And unfortunatley hooked in this war We were both coerced to get enlisted But his was with a trigger, mine was living conditions We're one in the same but in the name of some freedom I'm supposed to put one in his brain like something will change What freedom? I ain't dying for no president Sending kids to die when we didn't even elect the bitch [Hook] [Verse 3] Listen I'm in no position to judge a young stud Tryn'a use the military to come the fuck up Cos self preservation is the first law of nature Play your cards smart, remember what the fucks up It's really no different from crack pedaling when it Comes to dying and killing for a dream you were given Last thing in your mind is how you seen by the system N' be willing to go to those extremes for your vision Shit I'm no smarter, I'm fucking retarded I just know enough to not eat directly where the dog shits If Uncle Sam wants to threaten my health Tell him he have to come and get me himself ... The motherfucker [Hook]
