CRAIG HODGES

Lyrics

It's dangerous like Running with bulls The lessons that I give you they don't come in the schools Then I hit the gym and Shoot the lights out In a dashiki at the White House Like I'm Craig Hodges Fist up They don't like it when I'm honest... yea Said I was dope, somebody thought I was trafficking Put on a Kente cloth, They thought that I was African Cats on my old block be like Random's back again Cops pull me over I'm reminded that I'm black again I used to take the long way to get to school Risking my life avoid gangsters from different crews Did every assignment in every textbook Couldn't change a tire and couldn't balance a checkbook They told me that college would be the best look I Put the up numbers I'm disrespected like Westbrook No matter how different the outfit Or how many ways they try to flip it and bounce it This country so divisive, throw stones then play victim Tell you pointing out racism is racism Guess there's always another layer Like We wouldn't know George Floyd If it weren't for Darnella Frazier Even though we had the Proof Just knew that they would find an excuse But it hit different when it's truth so um It's dangerous like Running with bulls The lessons that I give you they don't come in the schools Then I hit the gym and Shoot the lights out Rock a dashiki in the White House Like I'm Craig Hodges Fist up They don't like it when I'm honest... The stuff these dudes spit in a rhyme It's like a, strategy guide to committing a crime Cats Lack honor, then wonder why they attract drama Cause now Black Trauma's a movie and rap genre The country got hype over Biden But now the White House is so silent, dog Where is you hiding If I get jammed up dragged out a show in some handcuffs I gotta wonder who gone stand up I'm paranoid they gone come for me Short Trial, Hung Jury 2020s is looking like the 40s We made in God's image So why is that so hard to envision A tradition as old as white privilege It's Poison like Mike Bivins I make it my life's mission To put you in position Like goggles with Night vision Rich folks is trying to make it to outer space While my people trying not to get kicked out of their place And not everything that's faced can be changed But it's a fact nothing can be changed until it is faced, yeah It's dangerous like running with bulls The lessons that I give you they don't come in the schools Then I hit the gym and Shoot the lights out In a dashiki at the White House Like I'm Craig Hodges Fist up They don't like it when I'm honest... yea Then I hit the gym and Shoot the lights out In a dashiki at the White House Like I'm Craig Hodges
