13th Amendment Song

Lyrics

[Intro: Starlito] You know they say they put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill That's what they say [Hook: Starlito] All them whips and them chains that you slaved for When it was all said and done, you should've saved more I'm worth less in the jail than in the graveyard Heard I'm too black to play the race card [Verse 1: Don Trip] Wouldn't conform so the label hit the panic button You know they can't stand a nigga when you stand for something I do what I want when I want, I never had a budget And I don't answer to not a soul, so don't ask me nothing Offer me a mansion and a Lamborghini Where you been? I've got babies ain't no way to feed em off no per diem I hear family this, and we the best, and it's a movie Meanwhile, they in the office tryna stick it to me I told em fuck em, I'm buckin, you can't do shit but sue me I get paid cash anyway, so don't misconstrue it I'll gladly go back to pitchin, I don't give a shit Got out my deal then I got rich, independence is the shit Godspeed [Hook: Starlito] All them whips and them chains that you slaved for When it was all said and done, you should've saved more I'm worth less in the jail than in the graveyard Heard I'm too black to play the race card [Verse 2: Starlito] Motherfuck this legislation and the gentrification Granny just work, pay bills, never been on vacation You shoot a jumper or you get a 2nd rate education Underground, I fuck around, never get played on the station But that's okay, I tell the truth, the only way I feel free They killed my favorite rapper Pac for that, hope they don't kill me They pull me over, I go to court, then they gon say I'm guilty Even when all your money clean, they make you pay a lil fee What if instead of prison sentences, they gave us degrees Ain't it ironic that they lock us up for playing with keys Save your receipts cause freedom ain't free, and lawyers ain't cheap And I know, I got court on the 18th [Hook: Starlito] All them whips and them chains that you slaved for When it was all said and done, you should've saved more I'm worth less in the jail than in the graveyard Heard I'm too black to play the race card [Verse 3: Starlito & Don Trip] They say we're new slaves, but really nothing's changed We're just addicted to our cellphone's and brand names I prolly look just like a slave with all these damn chains And Trip got so many whips, you'd think he got caught tryna escape They prolly wanna chop my feet off for Kunta's sake But I hop out that bitch and spray like I'm fumigating And all I see is dollar signs like hallucinations I promise to leave my fuckin mark like a used eraser And I'm like fuck the world until I come again I'm bout to buy some more guns and wait for Trump to win Man, wish I can buy some time for a bunch of my friends in the pen They watching how you move, who you with, what you spend You a felon, you ain't tryna see that judge again And you can't take this shit to trial cause they gon rub it in Damn it man, got too much pride to do the running man The rap game is like the same old sunken dance I'd of show up at the polls with my gun in hand And kill em all for my dog like Son of Sam Ah nah, y'all don't understand Had to rob Peter and Paul to pay Sally Mae and Uncle Sam [Hook: Starlito] All them whips and them chains that you slaved for When it was all said and done, you should've saved more I'm worth less in the jail than in the graveyard Heard I'm too black to play the race card
