Early

It be feeling like the life that I'm living, Man, out of control. Every day I'm in a Fight for my soul. Could it be that my Medicine's the evidence for pigs to stop and frisk Me when they rolling round on patrol? And ask, "Why you here?" I just tell 'em, "'Cause it is what it is. I live here, And that what it is." "Each time you got A dime," I said, "Man, I'm tryna smoke and Chill. Please don't lock me up in front of My kids. And in front of my wife. Man, I ain't got a gun or a knife. You do this, and you ruin my life. And I apologize if it seems like I got Out of line, sir, 'cause I respect the badge And the gun. And I pray today ain't the Day that you drag me away right in front Of my beautiful son." And they still put my hands in cuffs, put Me in the trunk when my woman screamed, said, "Shut up." Witness with the camera phone on saw The copper pull a gun and put it on My gorgeous queen. As I peered out the window, I could see my other kinfolk and hear my Little boys, they scream. As he ran toward the copper, begged him not To hurt his mama 'cause he had her face Down on the ground. And I'd be much too Weak to ever speak what I seen, but my Life changed with that sound. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Feeling this, feeling this too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Feeling this way, feeling this way. Feeling feeling this Too. Feeling, feeling this too. Feeling, Feeling. It be feeling like the life that I'm Living, man, out control 'cause every day in a Fight for my soul. All hands below, high seas In a rickety boat. Smoke O's so the kid Might cope. You want cash or hope? No class, matter fact, get both. Go without, get turned to ghosts. You know that's the law. Dealt up by the Shake of paws. It ain't a game if the Shit don't pause. And I find you odd, so Convinced in the truth of y'all that the true Truth's truly gone. And yes, there's a they. Any time a man say there's not, then you Know that he lost the plot. What can I say? Truth, truth when denied and Not. Like it's two crews riding the cot. Fair enough. The way that the beat bump do Sound tough. I made it in the dark like Civil War surgery. Woke up in the same air You huff early. By twelve o'clock, the whole Earth Felt dirty. Street lamps stare when you walk, watch The birdie. They watch you walk to the store, They're recording. Didn't record cop when he shot, No warning. Heard it go pop, might have been Two blocks. Heard a kid plus pop, watch cop Make girl bleed. Go to home, go to sleep, Up again early. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Feeling this, feeling this too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Feeling this way, feeling this way. Feeling This. Feeling too. Feeling This.
