Black Plates

Black plates tearing up the state
It's education, it's wealth, it's race
It's old money living up in the hills
Stacking ice cold bodies on dollar bills

Black plates on your black cars
Tinted windows, restricted zip codes
Old money's gonna take you far
With daddy's name in a black car

Lower number, higher status
The black plates tell you who is the baddest
Lower number, higher status
The plates tell you whose wallets the fattest

Black plates hanging round my town
Black plates been keeping me down
Old money, blood money, "ah honey...."
"we'll walk ahead while the poor man dies running"

Lower number, higher status
Lower number, higher status
Lower number, higher status
Lower number, higher status
Lower number, higher status
Lower number, higher status
Lower number, higher status
Lowest number
