Tired of Being Stepped On

I'm tired of being stepped on

I'm tired of being stepped on

I'm tired of being stepped on

I'm tired of being stepped on

Mac D-Shot, brought up by the middle class

I did time for crime 'cause I was livin' fast

I spent two on a lockdown in Preston

To hire me is way out the question

Jail cells for a black man's punishment

Could give a damn 'cause the other man's runnin' it

Now I'm back on the streets, I gotta compete so

But you can't beat no case

When you're trapped in a system

The government want you to diss them

Now I'm back on the bed where I once slept on

I'm tired of being stepped on

I'm tired of being stepped on

I'm tired of being stepped on

I'm tired of being stepped on

I'm tired of being stepped on

I'm tired of being stepped on

I'm tired of being stepped on

I'm tired of being stepped on

I ain't prejudiced, I gots nathin' on the white man

I'm only down for my folks and what's right and

So what's wrong with potnah with the gat on the job

He wanna squab 'cause his ends on the mob

Pull you over then he search you in your whole car

Four deep and you gotta be the rock star

So where's the crack, mayne? So where's the gats, mayne?

You know you brothers should call it a black thang

I'm not in your hood up to no goodism

So won't you go on with all the old racism

Unless you want me to take the law in my own hands

'Cause dude, I'm a strong man

And that's a black man tired of being stepped on

In the late night always gettin' crept on

By some authority who needs to really be fired

'Cause the jit is straight tired

I'm tired of being stepped on

I'm tired of being stepped on

I'm tired of being stepped on

I'm tired of being stepped on

I'm tired of being stepped on

I'm tired of being stepped on

I'm tired of being stepped on

Clayback, Vacaville, then up there by Reno

22 Months of being stepped on the shingle

90 Days left, I'm almost out of jail

On a mission about my mail to the hillside of Vallejo

There I will sell rocks oh swell

Build up clientele, and give the task hell

No other choice, I'm on parole, I got a felony

I look for a job and then they diss me, diss me

Man, my mother is disabled, I ain't got no food on the table

All I can afford is noodles with a generic label

This goes on for about a week and a half, I need to think fast

I need some cash, let me water my grass

And make it greener, then I started thinkin' of all types of

Gimmicks and gadgets, as I looked through the cabinets

Man, what should I do, my friend?

Hop in the game again? I guess I'm headed for the pen'

I'm tired

I'm tired of being stepped on

I'm tired of being stepped on

I'm tired of being stepped on

I'm tired of being stepped on

I'm tired of being stepped on

I'm tired of being stepped on

I'm tired of being stepped on
