[Verse 1: Thaione Davis]
Started from
The bottom, but, the flow, it kept sinking. I was thinking if
Police ain’t never carry some merit. “Show me them papers
And the reason you be pulling them capers.” I never traded in
My conversation to gather favors [?]
[?]. Snitches get stitches, gone here
Mind your business, bare witness to original man
Culture Power for the most valuable of black national
Anti-American-slave, the free radicals
We break beats, bones, separate clavicles
Every move tactical, Galaxie problematical
The killing field is too casual, whether it’s
Police or the black-on-black trigger theatricals
Late nights, centerstage sirens and blue lights
Red tape paint around perimeter campsites
Bagpipes whispering, the ghetto’s still trembling
Remember how you third eye vision was blindfolded
One Percent profit off the Ninety-Nine—quote it
Three degrees separated, scales get tipped
Full clips with extended fam hugging their hips
Itching to reunite and get reacquainted. Plus every avenue
Is tainted, segregated. The city of my creation
Is wonderful. The poison we swallow is complicated
Liberate it possibly? Never. We’re captivated
Niggas chasing that American Dream intoxicated
Seen a million motherfuckers slowly fall from grace
They ain’t tripping ‘cause it’s just an escape. The Devil really don’t
Exist—that’s a character, weapon for hysteria
Heavy ammunition for the flock
[Hook: Thaione Davis]
Neighborhood
Watch where you’re walking. Neighborhood
Blocks full of coffins. Neighborhood
Props come with caution. Every day
Lost in hysteria—believe that shit. You better
Watch where you’re walking ‘cause neighborhood
Blocks full of coffins, and neighborhood
Props come with caution ‘cause every day
Is lost in hysteria—believe that shit. You better
Watch where you’re walking. Neighborhood
Blocks full of coffins. Neighborhood
Props come with caution. Every day
Lost in hysteria—believe that shit
