Lyrics
Black people don't hang themselves And we got plenty of proof Always assassination of the character Even when video show you the truth Advocating for the devil his side hustle And his daddy on payroll too Prolly would take his phone and scrub that shit I promise you this ain't new Naptown Baby Shout out to 4200 and all the troops Tragedy flooding the state I'm stuck in the Bay Just questioning what I can do I donated money to the State, a message Gary was up in the corner and got intercepted City neglected But all of my people impressive and they came through When afflicted classes are melanated They get relegated to the worst place Then they regulated on a different basis So predated whips still hurtin' They assimilated but they demonstrated That they knew the rules will curse them So they made a haven with the antiquated tools Food, health, and dispersed them But the FBI had a sleeper cell Call it COINTEL and their purpose Was to decimate enemies of the state They infiltrate, and perverse some... BANG BANG BANG Leave him for dead BANG BANG BANG Leave him for dead Sedated, The movement shot in the head Mutilated, but the shit got legs Black people don't hang themselves And we got plenty of proof Always assassination of the character Even when video show you the truth Advocating for the devil his side hustle And his daddy on payroll too Prolly would take his phone and scrub that shit I promise you this ain't new BANG BANG BANG Leave him for dead BANG BANG BANG Leave him for dead Sedated, The movement shot in the head Mutilated, but the shit got legs BANG BANG BANG Leave him for dead BANG BANG BANG Leave him for dead Sedated, The movement shot in the head Mutilated, but the shit got legs
