INTRO
The fourth challenge is to take back our streets from crime, gangs, and drugs
They are not just gangs of kids anymore
They are often the kinds of kids that are called Superpredators
No conscience, no empathy
We could talk about why they ended up that way
But first we have to bring them to heel
And the president has asked the FBI to launch a very concerted effort against gangs everywhere
VERSE
You think I give a fuck about a cop or flag
When a flag gave a badge just to kill my ass?
Give false claims to the history I know we have
You privilege muthafuckas be a bitch and a half
Say that we beneath you then you spit upon on our face
Try that shit now, you gon’ have to catch the fade
Cuz the anger from oppression cut deeper than a blade
I’m tired of this shit
You took everything we made
My consciousness too deep
I could never be a slave
Analyze too much for you to keep me in a cage
I’ll die for this Black if my next generation saved
400 years of pain
Yeah, it gotta stop today
I need my nephew with a million in the safe
I need these kneelin’ politicians to go ‘head and make a change
And fuck 12, they just KKK
HOOK
I see human in everybody
Show me you see human in me
Let the Walls of Jericho fall into the perfect scenery
I never been a thug and I never claimed to be
But a Superpredator is what a Bitch named me
VERSE
Like a Fast & Furious movie
Don’t want another sequel
Demandin’ for the evens
Yeah, we talkin’ ‘bout equal
We pokin’ through they armor screamin’ power to the people
Huey P. would be proud to see us protestin’ this evil
Fuck Donald Trump and all them little chumps that be behind him
America never been great
Propaganda be blindin’
The Telly full of lies but they believe what they see
Don’t believe what you see
Learn for yourself, that’s free
Cuz I never been to jail
I ain’t even from the ghetto
You stereotype my Black, offend me, and tell me “let go”
Fuck that
Fuck racists
Fuck Black that hate Black
Fuck the system
I don’t want remorse until I see change
I’m talkin’ major shift
Includin’ the reparations for multiple generations
This for my ancestors that came from slave ships
Fought for they freedom and they still never gave ‘em shit
HOOK
I see human in everybody
Show me you see human in me
Let the Walls of Jericho fall into the perfect scenery
I never been a thug and I never claimed to be
But a Superpredator is what a Bitch named me
