Lockdown - Radio Edit

You should've been downtown (word)
 The people are risin' (for real?)
 We thought it was a lockdown (what?)
 They opened up fire (damn)
 Them bullets was flyin' (ooh)
 Who said it was a lockdown? Goddamn lie
 Oh my, time heals all but you outta time now (now)
 Judge gotta watch us from the clock tower (true)
 Lil' tear gas cleared the whole place out
 I'll be back with the hazmat for the next round
 We was tryin' to protest, then the fires broke out
 Look out for the secret agents, they be planted in the crowd
 Said, "It's civil unrest," but you sleep so sound
 Like you don't hear the screams when we catchin' beatdowns
 Stayin' quiet when they killin' -, but you speak loud
 When we ride, got opinions comin' from a place of privilege
 Sicker than the COVID, how they did him on the ground
 Speakin' of the COVID, is it still goin' around?
 Oh, won't you tell me 'bout the lootin', what's that really all about?
 'Cause they throw away black lives like paper towels
 Plus unemployment rate, what, forty million now?
 Killed a man in broad day, might never see a trial
 We just wanna break chains like slaves in the South
 Started in the North End but we in the downtown
 Riot cops try to block
 Now we gotta show down, down (City of Los Angeles)
 (I hereby declare this to be an unlawful assembly)
 (And in the name of the people of the State of California)
 You should've been downtown
 The people are risin' (right here)
 We thought it was a lockdown
 They opened up fire
 Them bullets was flyin' (lockdown, we ain't gonna stop)
 Who said it was a lockdown? Goddamn lie ('cause they tell us to)
 And downtown, where I got popped with the rubber bullet
 Tre pound, got it in my name now, I'ma shoot it
 Never understand why they do it
 Someone cut the channel off the news 'fore I looe it
 I ain't even trippin', if you with' it then we lootin'
 Help me put this Louis in the back of Suzuki (ooh), o-he
 Had to break it down so smoothly (slow)
 They gon' say, "It's not about race," but we movin', ho, pow (okay)
 Got the tre pound, had to put in my name
 Wish a - play now (yeah)
 Any given day, I'll be headed to the pulpits (yeah)
 Say a lil' prayer, matter fact, I need two of 'em (ooh)
 Won't he do it? Won't he do it? (Ooh)
 This ain't '92 so we learn the new rules
 - got hip so we don't loot the projects
 'Bout to hit Rodeo with my lil' cousin Marcus
 Someone threw a whole brick in the Neiman Marcus
 Help me put the whole mannequin in the Charger
 You should've been downtown (down)
 The people are risin' (look around)
 We thought it was a lockdown (lockdown)
 They opened up fire (had to get low, fire)
 Them bullets was flyin' (down, down)
 Who said it was a lockdown? Goddamn lie (ooh-wee)
 Lockdown, we ain't gotta stop 'cause they tell us to
 In downtown, where I got popped with the rubber bullet
 Tre pound (uh), got it in my name now, I'ma shoot it
 Lockdown, we ain't gotta stop 'cause they tell us to
 In downtown
