Down Rodeo

Yeah I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun
 These people ain't seen a brown-skinned man since their grandparents bought one
 So, now I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun
 These people ain't seen a brown-skinned man since their grandparents bought one
 So now I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun
 Bangin' this bolo tight, on this solo flight, can't fight alone
 Funk the track, my verbs sly like the Family Stone
 Them pen devils set the stage for the war at home
 Locked without a wage, you're standing in the drop zone
 The clockers born, starin' at an empty plate
 Mama's torn hands, cover her sunken face
 We hungry but them belly full
 The structure is set, ya never change it with a ballot pull
 In the ruins there's a network for the toxic rock
 Schoolyard to precinct, suburb to project block
 Bosses rode south for new flesh and a factory floor
 The remains left chained to the powder war
 Can't waste a day when the night brings a hearse
 So make a move and plead the fifth 'cause ya can't plead the first!
 Can't waste a day when the night brings a hearse
 So, now I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun
 These people ain't seen a, brown-skinned man since their grandparents bought one
 Yes, I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun
 These people ain't seen a brown-skinned man since their grandparents bought one
 So now I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun
 Yeah
 Bare witness to the sickest shot while suckers get romantic
 They ain't gonna send us campin' like they did my man Fred Hampton
 Still we lampin', still clockin' dirt for our sweat
 A ballot's dead, so a bullet's what I get
 A thousand years they had the tools, we should be takin' 'em
 Fuck the G-ride, I want the machines that are makin' em
 Our target straight with a room full of armed pawns
 To off the Kings on the WestSide at dawn
 Can't waste a day when the night brings a hearse
 Make a move and plead the fifth 'cause ya can't plead the first
 Can't waste a day when the night brings a hearse
 So now I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun
 These people ain't seen a brown-skinned man since their grandparents bought one
 Yeah I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun
 These people ain't seen a brown-skinned man since their grandparents bought one
 Yeah I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun
 The rungs torn from the ladder, can't reach the tumor
 One god, one market, one truth, one consumer
 Just a quiet, peaceful dance!
 Just a quiet, peaceful dance! Yeaaah!
 Just a quiet, peaceful dance!
 Just a quiet, peaceful dance!
 Just a quiet, peaceful dance
 For the things we'll never have
 Just a quiet, peaceful dance
 For the things we don't have
