from #ImSaying by Longshot

lyrics

Chorus

profit over people
kill u 4 the funds
that's the root of evil
money #1
they don't really see u
cuz they only care about u
when they need u

Verse 1

Damn/caint get outside myself/they got me caged like an animal/all by myself/I let the beat bang out/while I kiss on Jane/and pitch a raw 16/that'll hit yo brain/like, like, like/the government stem/that's just a poor attempt/in hopes that we could/love it again/but I could never love a country/that would shoot me dead/and let the killer get away/cuz he's blue team bred/like, like, like/how u get yo grip/blood money make the world go round/let's take a trip/oh the got us on restriction/need ya gloves and a mask/control the mass with the fear/this year could be our last/but I aint giving in/no friend/they don't care about ya health homeboy/that's how they got they wealth/economics hella racist/the only color is green/that really matters/let's get madder/and tear down the regime

Chorus

pop, pop, pop, pop/profit over people
kill u 4 the funds
that's the root evil
money #1
& they don't really see u
cuz they only care about u
when they need u
all I hear is...

Verse 2

white opinions on the plight of blacks/don't ever try 2 tell me/how I should act/if u aint living with your skin as a target/trust that Target is good/and should be giving back/2 folks in the hood/but not the ones representing/white sheets/or the shield of the blue/they make a profit off of black deaths too/what u thought?/that they really gone protect us/when the shit hit the fan/that's why they went/and got the National Clan/THE WHITE MAN AINT GOT NO PLANS/ON CARING 4 U/BUT BLACK WOMEN THEY GONE CARRY US THROUGH/we aint through/this is only the just the start/trust ya heart and ya gut/if ya can/nigga stay strapped up/they gone buck/cuz they see us a threat/or as dollars and cents/but never as people/freedom go as far as we spent/and that's the evil/the root of every time that we vent/i'll never leave u/even when they empty them clips like...

Chorus
