Circle The Block

Lyrics

[Chorus] Every cop light is for me until it pass I'm trying to make sure this black life last Circle the block I ain't mean to resist So officer why your foot on my neck and my wrist Circle the block It's for my mama man So honestly I don't see what the problem is Retaliation is key And you know what to do if they ever get to me [Verse 1] Circle the back now, figure out Special knock, pat down Plan of attack, how we rise from ash, foul What they did to us, nigga it's not fair I don't care, I don't know what they done saw in my hair That made 'em dread it to the point of being issues on sight Clipped wings from the flight Told 'em meet at the light Didn't see him that night, but somehow lifelike Uh And if the next word out your mouth is, "Huh?" I'mma slap the black off you Getting back, we off to The corner store devise plans in there There's a dark feeling, something We're more than scared You thinking it don't exist The crime getting dismissed It persists in my mother, it materialize Formed as something I'm trying not to spread to mine Mama the sun, so water never fall from her eyes In exchange for that heat I don't think she can cry And every cop light [Chorus] Every cop light is for me until it pass (Every cop light) I'm trying to make sure this black life last (Yeah, every cop light) Circle the block I ain't mean to resist So officer why your foot on my neck and my wrist Circle the block It's for my mama man So honestly I don't see what the problem is Retaliation is key And you know what to do if they ever get to me [Verse 2] Pop off, cut 'em out like the middleman If you see the red and blue Tu-tu-tu, fight back! Cops on the streets outside of the bodega We pourin' this shit out that we just bought For all of our niggas that we lost Put it up, and we ain't tryna start a fight Unless you really 'bout it nigga It's been a long night For us black boys whose hobbies are bodying what we feel And stop killing my trans fam for real, for real I'm loud and about it We fight for homies who ain't allowed to be loud and about it Something been sprouting up in these areas I don't plan to resist So officer, why your foot on my neck and my wrist? Grip to a fist You know the move, if he with the shits Never submit Fuck around and he might hit me with a brick Then I'm gone Really no pity for sympathizers Rebel from your oppressors and bang on colonizers [Chorus] Every cop light is for me until it pass (Ha ha ha ha) I'm trying to make sure this black life last (Yeah) Circle the block I ain't mean to resist So officer why your foot on my neck and my wrist Circle the block It's for my mama man So honestly I don't see what the problem is Retaliation is key And you know what to do if they ever [Bridge] If they ever If they ever, if they ever If they ever get to me If they ever get to me If they ever get to me Circle the block Circle Circle the block Circle, circle, circle Circle, circle, circle Hah! Uh! Yeah, yeah, get em! Get it Circle, circle, circle Circle Circle If they ever, get to me If they ever get to me Retaliation's key What do you see when you see me Any chance they can take out in the street [?] I circle the block Circle the block Circle, circle, circle, circle Circle Circle, circle, circle, circle Circle, circle Circle the block [Outro] Circle the block Can't call, can't park Can't reach, for the box Can't call, can't park Can't reach, for the box Hands up, for an opp?
