Cops

Rats gone rat, run and tell that, finish ya
Master neanderthal, planning to finish ya
Ass get to bashin' irrational passion
Of blastin' to masses of unorthodox action
Cops, cops, cops (somebody call the)
Cops, cops, cops (somebody call the)
Cops, cops, cops (somebody call the)
Cops, cops, cops, cops

Yo! I tell 'em hold on, wait
Awaiting the celebration
Of us gunin' the ones that be running they lips
Ain't no shunning today
Societies ways are stationed and eradicating us
Our nation has poisoned the mind, killing mankind
And slayed the liberation
I must say, that we the people seemed to obtain
A hegemonic way of thinking these days
Taught to think a certain way
And bash those who don't think the same, insane
A nigga like me refuses to be what society sees
Never conform
And never be an ignorant nigga who don't know what's going on, ugh

Rats gone rat, run and tell that, finish ya
Master neanderthal, planning to finish ya
Ass get to bashin' irrational passion
Of blastin' to masses of unorthodox action
Cops, cops, cops (somebody call the)
Cops, cops, cops (somebody call the)
Cops, cops, cops (somebody call the)
Cops, cops, cops, cops

Um, 'cause we the people, we are the equal
Our deceitful past has left us lethal
They think we're evil, now they tend to point us out like the needles
Killing us off with needles
Let's come back with a sequel
Come back peaceful, and kill 'em with intellect
Now they cannot critique you
This life is a game of chess
A team of blacks and whites to keep the king in check
And the American dream is an American mess
We buy material things, but guess who's cutting the checks
Ha, you ever thought about that?
The system's designed to draw all of us back
We are blind to the fact that luxury distracts
Because the art of trickery is so abstract
Light skinned versus dark skinned
Her versus him, gay versus straight, thick versus slim
Got damn
Man kill that noise, don't nobody wanna hear that noise
We don't feel that noise, so conceal that noise
Don't reveal that noise, understand that?

Rats gone rat, run and tell that, finish ya
Master neanderthal, planning to finish ya
Ass get to bashin' irrational passion
Of blastin' to masses of unorthodox action
Cops, cops, cops (somebody call the)
Cops, cops, cops (somebody call the)
Cops, cops, cops (somebody call the)
Cops, cops, cops, cops

I won't be the same
I refuse to be called anything else besides my God-given name
Because we as a people, were taught to think a specific way
And in doing so, we put down those who tend to think different
So I refuse to conform to societies rules
I refuse to think and look like others
I refuse to be ignorant
I refuse to accept being told that I
Won't make it, or that I won't make a change
I refuse to be treated like a celebrity, being famous ain't shit
I dare someone treat me like I'm greater than man
We are all the same
Stop it
I won't feed into the media
I won't become a modern-day slave
We are told not to question
They silence the ones who know too much information
They kill off the revolutionaries
They want us to think we're living the American dream
But they're enslaving us in the process
I refuse to conform to societies standards of beauty
We are our own people
Let us live our lives the way we chose
Not by ways that were chosen for us
Your uniqueness will always make you beautiful
