When They See Us

(Yeah, uh)

(Chorus)
Bang bang, bang bang, I shot you down, yeah
It was me or him and now he ain't around
Oh, mama, mama, mama what I do now, yeah
Terrified to talk to police downtown, yeah

(Verse 1)
It was a regular day in southside, yeah
No block party, but everybody outside, yeah
I ain't been smoking, but I been drinking on the hendo
Seen a car pull up with tinted windows
He looked at me and said "I think you on the wrong side"
I looked at him and said "you must've got the wrong guy"
I had to make a choice or him to pass the chalk line
Cop siren, shots firing, at the stop sign, and

(Chorus)
Bang bang, bang bang, I shot you down, yeah
It was me or him and now he ain't around
Oh, mama, mama, mama what I do now, yeah
Terrified to talk to police downtown, uh

(Verse 2)
Yesterday I saw my homie on the news
Looked at the tube, like brother what you do
The news later when on said he's accused of a double homicide
I looked at the tv, and broke down and cried
I'll never see my nigga again outside
But I'ma keep the dream alive, and Ima
Do it bigger yo
The news (?), but I'm saying that's still my nigga tho, yeah

(Chorus)
Bang bang, bang bang, I shot you down, yeah
It was me or him and now he ain't around
Oh, mama, mama, mama what I do now, yeah
Terrified to talk to police downtown

(Verse 3)
Little boy, I know your pain, yeah
I know times getting rough, yeah
You've been loyal to the streets, and look where it got your peeps
Don't you think that it's enough, yeah
You don't got no one to trust, yeah
Friends actin fake as fuck, yeah
And police gonna let it rain, you know we all look the same
When they see us, yeah
When they see us
