(808 Mafia)
First off, what's up with all these crooked ass police
If they workin' hard then why the fuck they don't control the streets?
Wanna see my brother strong, so I don't condone the beef
Play it safe, I got my chrome, rather you be gone than me
And my kids better than me, hope I live long to see
But feel like my past and the Devil holdin' onto me
What's up with the DA's and the judges? They don't owe no blood
Blacks folks who deserved a chance, but they ain't show no love
People sayin' they gon' change, but they ain't show no love
Ruined lives was innocent, but they ain't hold no grudge
Hard to face it, wonder why it's hard to make it
You grew up with privileges, and all this shit we had to take it
You ain't racist, when we on a elevator why you shakin'?
You ain't racist, see me in yo' neighborhood then why you brakin'?
You ain't racist, when I make more money than you why you hate it?
Said I was gonna get a warnin' officer then why you take me?
I'm at war with all my brothers, but it's you that taught us hatred
I ain't racist, I got different colored diamonds in my bracelet
Acatavis mixed with some savages, so both of 'em combination
Rich forever, 'fore I go broke you see yey at nomination
One announcement to made fellas, we need forward domination (forward domination)
All our women need safety, gotta make way for them babies (for real)
Hustle smart, don't make sacrifices and risks, just have some patience (have some patience)
That's the only way we gon' gain our respect back in the nation
These our demands, this how we gon' make demands
These our demands, ain't no askin', we demandin' (demandin')
These our demands, thank you in advance (thank you)
Time to make demands, need a change of plans
"Make The Hood Great Again" ("Make The Hood Great Again")
Let the playgrounds be okay, where they can play again (where they can play)
Shit, the neighborhoods ain't safe enough to raise 'em in (damn)
Niggas ain't got aim, they killin' 'em and grazin' kids
All his homies bitch-made, they out there praisin' him
Hopefully one day my raps will end up savin' 'em
If we don't stay accountable this shit won't ever end
Can't go to school 'cause our future is inevident
Dropped out, no college, street knowledge what I majored in (Street knowledge)
Can't be a boy where I'm from, it's quick to make a man
Bloodshed for generations, never make amends
And we hate to lose, but nobody never wins (nobody never wins)
This a life of failure (damn)
These our demands, time to clean the jails up
If you ain't tryna ride then tell me why you goin' to jail for?
Change the cycle, why you wanna write your life through mail for?
If the hood ain't get you shit but this, then what you near for?
Who you really care for? Gotta daughter, they or her
These my demands, invest and stack ya bread up
These our demands, we need assistance in the gutter
These our demands, bitch be more sensitive to the struggle
But let's stop always tryna blame the man (yeah)
We gon' stand up to this shit and start to make demands (make demands)
And we buyin' back the block 'cause now we makin' M's
So get off your ass and go make a change
'Cause they just keep laughin' at us complain while we do the same again
How you expect your life to change if you can't change within?
And it ain't perfect, but I never may complain again
'Cause I accept what's in my life if it can't change it's stayin'
But I'ma always have respect and that's 'cause I demand it
These our demands, this how we gon' make demands (make demands)
These our demands, ain't no askin', we demandin' (demandin')
These our demands, thank you in advance (uh)
Time to make demands, need a change of plans
"Make The Hood Great Again"
