Damn, why you gotta be like that?
Slammed with my hands behind my back
I know my tags and I evade it, but I don’t think you need that strap
Why can’t you just talk to me? My life is inside your hands
Can you protect it? Am I being harassed? Or arrested?
I just wanna know, I know how the story go
Either way, on the news, said he had a gun
God’ll [?] every nigga is a mother son
That she raised tryna shape the way he see the world
Now he can’t and I can’t help but shed a tear
Stomach drop every time that I see ’em near
Why do I live in fear of a gun and badge?
That’s our strongest enemy that we done ever had, yeah
Red, white and blue lights flashin’
One way trip to thug’s mansion
Somebody call 911, I just seen the one they stabbin’
Who can I trust when I need help?
Who can I trust for protection?
Pigs flyin’ high, joyride to heaven
Gorilla, gorilla, go, go, gorilla
Gorilla, gorilla, catch that gorilla
Gorilla, gorilla, go, go, gorilla
Gorilla, gorilla, catch that gorilla
Red line, gentrified, they give wrist slaps to dead men, [?] smiles
Went from bread lines to [?] lines
To mainline prison time for the crimes that we commit
But genocide don’t mean nothin’ to Uncle Sam
Guess it’s dignified in America, probably just dreamed that they were sellin’ us
Terror rain on our parade, keepin’ my brothers up
Gotta dance with it like Mr. Bentley
If I get pulled over, Lord be with me
If I do the dash, then Lord forgive me
I was twelve years old when they tried to ship me
On the curb, I got choke slammed for resisting arrest from a grown man
I ain’t even tell my mama what happened
She the one that put me on to they program
Red, white and blue lights flashin’
One way trip to thug’s mansion
Somebody call 911, I just seen the one they stabbin’
Who can I trust when I need help?
Who can I trust for protection?
Pigs flyin’ high, joyride to heaven
Gorilla, gorilla, go, go, gorilla
Gorilla, gorilla, catch that gorilla
Gorilla, gorilla, go, go, gorilla
Gorilla, gorilla, catch that gorilla
Gorilla, gorilla, go, go, gorilla
Gorilla, gorilla, catch that gorilla
Gorilla, gorilla, go, go, gorilla
Gorilla, gorilla, catch that gorilla
