How violent are these cops?
They need an early retirement
How many rallies will I watch?
I ain't got it in me to march
I got a semi to spark
The game's in a drought
Public housin', projects cookin' up in the Pyrex
My set, my click either gettin' money
Or runnin' from homicide trial
That's if they ain't died yet tryin' to be rich
Still I'm pledgin' allegiance
A predicate felon, a ghetto leader
Lendin' my poetical genius
To whoever may need it
I bleed this from Queensbridge
Now livin' with my feet up
Never defeated
So a president's needed
You know these colored folks and Negroes
Hate to see one of their own succeedin'
