So What

Lyrics

FREEZE, POLICE!! (What are you doing?!)
 On the floor, ON THE FLOOR NOW
 {On your stomach, get on your stomach, on your stomach!}
 {ON YOUR STOMACH!} {*gunshots*}
 Yo...
 They got up out the squad car
 Jaws hard, jarheads, they want us all dead
 Walkin up to the door, they all saw red
 It's one local detective, the rest is all feds
 Kick the do' down, ripped the whole house up
 Grandmomma asked what's wrong and got her mouth cut
 The lead fed grabbed her by the throat, threw her up against the wall
 and told her they won't leave without drugs
 With no just cause, just 'cause
 Had her tied up in her own closet wearin just drawers
 Pants down, standin 'round sweatin and laughin
 and high-fivin each other like - that's what's up dawg!
 Until a blizzard of bullets blew some nuts off
 One by one they run but got gunned off
 Her grandson was only five but he saw the whole thang from the stairs
 and managed to make the gun cough
 These streets can only see so much until they say SO WHAT
 Let the police cars blow up, it won't be long 'til the ghetto
 Can only take so much, of the blame gettin thrown on us
 And politicians bodies go numb, from going dumb - SO WHAT?
 Yeah, another visit from the social worker
 She know her kids ain't supposed to know this dope and murder
 He know her kids ain't supposed to notice dope and murder
 So he let her keep 'em in exchange for some social service
 And every week's the same, he gets so nervous
 They snort coke, then she let him hit it 'til it hurt it
 Typically, that's the end of the date
 She swallows his pride, the kids can stay
 She ain't mentioned he the reason why the baby in her stomach got her tummy out
 When she did, he froze up and dummied out
 Took her food stamps, put him in his book
 Walked away then she screamed out 'Hey' and caught a left hook
 That's when the hollow tip hot one let his chest cook
 Shortened every breath took; her young son
 mean muggin handcuffed as they took him away
 Said "Momma you gon' be okay, so what?!"
 She was a proud mom, a G.I. Joe mom
 Couldn't see they lied for war, she was all for it
 Wavin flags, sportin tags with the yellow ribbons
 And when she said he was a hero know she really meant it
 'Til somebody showed her proof of the ruse
 Took her to GuerrillaFunk dot com for the hard truth
 Showed the motive and the profiteering from the mission
 She got mad and wrote her congressman but he ain't listen
 So she prayed everyday that they
 would pull the troops out the fray and they would be okay
 All she had was her faith 'til the day the news
 Came talkin 'bout that roadside bomb in Fallujah
 And even though she thought she'd been through the worst
 Mama walked into the closet, put the strap in her purse
 And went first to the door of her congressman's home
 Took his life 'fore takin her own, shoulda known
 - repeat 2X
