Pick Ya Head Up Gotham (Talib Kweli & Diamond D) (Ft. John Forté)

[Intro]
Just who do you think you are
Now I asked you a question, who the hell do you think you are nigga!

[Verse 1: Talib Kweli]
Got freedom of speech, but freedom ain't free
There’s always consequences better watch what you say
You got freedom of speech, but so do we
Things you take for granted can be snatched right away
Police stay on top of me
Everywhere I go cops out for me
Serve and protect don’t lie to me
We here to protect this property
From my P-O-V all these C-O-Ps got nothin’ on you like B.O.B
Too many P-O-C in the P-I-C go from E-B-T to the D-O-C
Whether a guilty plea or a mеa culpa
They lock you up for just being poor
It’s a [?] and go just being brokе
They killin these n****s like Leopold
In the Congo I’m in a [?]
The [?] is like ‘94
Bill Clinton signed the bill into law
N****s locked up behind William Barr
Get it?
Locked up behind William Barr
Not selling drugs not stealing cars
Not killing people but we villains equal
And a bad influence on the average student
Cause be black and we lack in every avenue
All we have is music all we have is sports
All we have is beats all so we have its courts
So we made the sounds and we played around
And we laid it down out and stayed around
And ain't make it out this way to drown
You weighed it down this shit break it down
Shit break it down
Shit break it down
Shit break it down, shit break it down
Shit break it down, shit break it down
