Gravamen

(Yo)

(Yeah)

When the lights flash, we roll

I guess your roll was typecast

With blow in the trunk, with a blunt in the ashtray

Headed that way, and that way is where all the criminals go

No probable cause, two cops and a dog

Looking for a reason, screw up your evening, policing (Where?)

Areas where they'll never have a lease in

Convinced that the people ain't decent

So it goes, if he makes a move then he's comatose (Uh)

That's on his mind as he's growing closer (Ok)

But no one knows crooked cops killed his cousin (Yeah)

So what happened to him, got him on his toes

So he froze, when the handgun rose

He can see down the barrels nose

All he heard was, "No's"

Reaching for his ID slow when they shot

Filling him with holes, another one

(Uh)

Why do you hate us? (Why?)

Pigs, you berate us (Uh)

Tell us you will take us (Right) and throw away the key (Key)

Women want to date us (Yeah) so you want to waste us (Right)

Uniformed racists, combing through the streets

Roaming with the heat, never had a moment with the peeps (Never)

Never took a moment to relate (Never)

They won't protect what they don't respect and that's deep

Basically wolves amongst sheep, does it correlate?

Keep your eyes open

They planting evidence and they putting time on it

It's deeper than a rhyme when they manufactured a crime

Take the stand, then lie on it
