Skin Deep
Life's already hard enough
I gotta worry 'bout the nigga next door
I shouldn't have to worry 'bout no fucking officers
The systems corrupt
They wanna see us all in cuffs
That's why I ain't called you once
Feel like it benefits all but us
How we united
I kill I go to the pin
You kill
You don't get indicted
I don't feel protected
I feel neglected
I feel disrespected
I've been falsely arrested
Thought we was equal
But here I stand corrected
I feel threatened
This FN's for protection
Fuck oppression
Fuck segregation
Fuck complexion
Shit
How I'm 'possed to feel as a fucking person
I see a cop and I'm getting nervous
Am I speeding why is he approaching me damn
He just turned the lights on got to pull out my phone
And keeping my composure is key
Got to call my wife
Babe I might not make it home tonight
Roll your window down sir
Do you know why I pulled you over
No I was doing the speed limit
Plus I'm sober
And I don't have illegal weapons or drugs
So what the hold up
This how y'all control us
Shits depressing
License and registration
Life's already hard enough
I almost got killed last week
Trying to protect and serve
But you don't give a fuck
The system is just
Y'all in cuffs cuz of the crimes you done
We keep blaming all for some
That's why we divided
Of course we don't go to the pin
If you knew how many people I saved
You'd be surprised shit
I don't feel respected
I feel neglected
I'm unappreciated
We humans we make mistakes shit
Scared like you
Y'all neighborhoods is dangerous
And I don't make the rules
It's unfair to you
But I can't change 'em
I never knew it be like this
When I set my goals but now that I've obtained 'em
I see how shit really is
We aim at each other
Miss and kill the kids
Do the same shit you did to get in
When you finish your bid
Guess it don't get realer than this huh
Like you don't nobody that killed
Went to trial and got it dismissed Huh
We both got work to do
If you was me would you profile you
How 'bout noo
I gotta worry 'bout the nigga next door
I shouldn't have to worry 'bout no fucking officers
The systems corrupt
They wanna see us all in cuffs
That's why I ain't called you once
Feel like it benefits all but us
How we united
I kill I go to the pin
You kill
You don't get indicted
I don't feel protected
I feel neglected
I feel disrespected
I've been falsely arrested
Thought we was equal
