runaway slave 歌詞
Runaway... runaway slave (8X)
Verse One:
A.G. Livin in the slums with the bums, the rats and the stray cats
Dogs with the rabies, little babies are having babies
Juveniles act wild
Every footstep you take, on every corner theres a crack vial
Pushers, dealers, crackheads are buying
Now the dealers in jail, all the crackheads are dying
My man got
AIDS, he was hit hard
To get laid, he paid a crackhead for a five dollar quick job
In the ghettoes this stuff you have to find
A beer will relax my mind but
I still pack my nine
Cause Im aware of all evil and devilishment
Because Im living in a rat like settlement
Sometimes its hard to manage
I grab a forty take a sip and let the mental do the damage
Yeah Im woozy and my eyes are red
But its better than a uzi and a brotherman is dead
See nine out of ten are black on black crimes
Four out of nine were killed before their prime
The other five wanted vengeance
So now five out of five are doin a jail sentence
Ask the Giant
Ive been through it
So when I reach to the top,
I say the ghetto made me do it
And I know how to strive, huh
Born and raised in the ghetto so you know
I can survive
Chorus:Runaway... runaway slave (8X in background)
I gotta getaway,
I gotta do it now or find a better way, so how that sound (both lines repeat 4X)
Verse Two:
A.G. Chapter two, of every black mans diary
Drugs and diseases, put in our society
Kill another brother and its bravery
Come on thats one step backwards into mental slavery
Yeah you best believe thats reality
You got black on black then theres police brutality
Yeah its bad but what makes it sad
Is that Im being harassed by a black man with a badge
Hes sellin out because hes two-faced
But you only got one race, you only got a *****s face
Hes sellin out because times is hard
And old ladies are gettin robbed cause
I cant find a job
Fight to the top, and the other manll drop and gettin treated like savages will stop
You got the right plan, but goin about it the wrong way
Divided is the long way united is the strong way
Too many died for us to take a pause
So lets all get ours, and stop tryin to get yours
Walk a straight path, but its so easy to stumble
So weak minds crumble in the concrete jungle
Get your chance to sell drugs, you dont pass up
But a fast buck will wind up to be your last buck
Its a damn shame, youre deaf dumb and blind
Did it ever cross your mind, youre killin off your own kind
And pretty soon even you will be a goner
Easy access to guns, liquor stores on every corner
Street knowledge is a must, you never learn enough
Youre physically rough, but mentally you gotta be tough
We shall overcome with no doubt
The runaway slave is sayin peace and
Im out Chorus
I gotta getaway,
I gotta do it now or find a better way, so how thatsound (2X) 'Lets runaway, lets escape' (7X)
