Lyrics

[Intro] As time goes by, an eye for an eye As time goes by, an eye for an eye As time goes by, an eye for an eye Survived all the trials in a life full of crime [Verse] The Rodney King tapes showed the world a harmful circumstance And even then, some people still had problems with the facts Fuck the fourth quarter, I'm like Rodney on the Cavs My lifespan shorter and it's prolly cause I'm black Police shoot like Kyle Korver, fuck a Trump supporter Before the war gets nigh, I might become a gun endorser So I can switch toward a war on the corrupted order The government wants all the money so they cut some corners Separate me from Trump? You gonna need another border Commemorate the freedom's run? There ain't even justice for us Can't celebrate a kingdom's come if we get blown to kingdom come When the Lord's kingdom come, he gon' say "Y'all picked this one?" You can't choose your parents, you can't choose the President The government do that for you, the truth is delicate Handle with care, candlelit vigil for somebody daddy Life's fragile, it's limited, I'm still living it, I'm a vigilante And the stereotype's "Where your daddy at, bet he left your momma pregnant" Nah, he got left in the streets by a way-too-involved lieutenant Life is still a bitch after all the smaller shit Only way to make it out is basketball scholarships Or a record deal, and either way, you sign a white man's contract Blacks must look red with horns for the white man's contrast Better grammar than white supremacists, they still call me a kaffir We said "Black Lives Matter", you called backup on the dispatcher How does a peaceful protest turn to the people's progress Just to have it all taken away by evil torment? "Maybe he wouldn't have died if he wasn't resisting arrest" Give it a rest, that's self offense, tell the Feds Don't you all remember that the Devil got seven heads? [Speaking Interlude] Trump, Jong Un, Hitler, Bush, Hussein, Stalin and Castro, the seven heads of the devil All of them was heads of their country as well Think about that shit [Outro] As time goes by, an eye for an eye As time goes by, an eye for an eye As time goes by, an eye for an eye Benign till I die in these crime-ridden times
