[Verse 1: Scarface]
When people look at me, I know it's plain to see
That I am not the problem, yet they blaming me
It's bad enough the homies wanna squeeze my blood
But I gotta watch these cops 'cause they've been killing us
I see it in the news, on every other day
Another brother dead but they look the other way
Or blame on the time that he spent
Locked down for a crime he ain't commit — was innocent
Can't wait to lock you up and throw away the key
Or kill you like a dog off in these fuckin' streets
I wonder why they fearing our black planet
But I'm still standing here 'cause I am that planted
Rooted in these motherfuckin' streets
You may have scared my mom but you ain't scaring me
We the people stand as one, white or black
Or Mexican-American, that's fact, just where I'm at
[Chorus: Jack Freeman]
This revolution got something going on
You think it's bullshit; we know it's full grown, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2: Scarface]
I don't expect protection from Jeff Sessions
The Klan is still alive using that very weapon
We like the Constitution you was using
Stop making up excuses, I am only human
A Black man way better than
Any racist motherfucker out there think he better than
Me, 'cause I got knowledge of myself
I'm just trying to teach that knowledge to somebody else
Yeah, they got a target on our babies
That's been heavy on my mind as of lately
It's crazy, you send your kids off to college
And then you get that phone call that's telling you somebody shot him
Wow, it's life or death right now
Just trying to catch my breath right now
Every time I leave the house I'm strapped
I tried to walk away but I'm back, that's just where I'm at
When people look at me, I know it's plain to see
That I am not the problem, yet they blaming me
It's bad enough the homies wanna squeeze my blood
But I gotta watch these cops 'cause they've been killing us
I see it in the news, on every other day
Another brother dead but they look the other way
Or blame on the time that he spent
Locked down for a crime he ain't commit — was innocent
Can't wait to lock you up and throw away the key
Or kill you like a dog off in these fuckin' streets
I wonder why they fearing our black planet
But I'm still standing here 'cause I am that planted
Rooted in these motherfuckin' streets
You may have scared my mom but you ain't scaring me
We the people stand as one, white or black
Or Mexican-American, that's fact, just where I'm at
