Warzone - T.I.
Can't you see we
livin' in a war zone
Guess you don't notice
when you livin' in it
Like every weekend
it's a man down
Ain't got no pity
for the innocent
so I'ma represent it
Dedicated tell 'em
Hands up can't breathe
Hands up can't breathe
Hands up can't breathe
Hands up can't you see
we livin' in a war zone
They left his body swangin'
down in Piedmont
At a Klan rally the day before
but that ain't mean nothing
Witness said suicide
I said genocide
Hey what you got a gun for Boy
you ain't finna ride
They run up on you like Baton Rouge
bet you finna hide
That's the difference 'tween us
I'll die to save a million lives
Appointed leader
when nobody couldn't think of shit
I'll be a martyr if my great
grandaughter benefit
They pull you over
ask you where your license at
Be careful reachin' for it
you know you can die for that
And this ain't nothin' new
just got cameras
so you can see the shit
Got Dr King and Abe Lincoln
askin' where the freedom at
This ain't no equality
Man you ain't have no justice
on your mind
when you shot at me
But fuck it
this the way it gotta be
Hey listen
you won't shoot at them
then shoot at me
Boy you are not a G
Imagine Trayvon askin'
why you followed me
Feel threatened
hit him and whip him
that's when he shot him down
Do that to a grown fuckin' man
drop where you stand
Tell my grandma go on with
all that prayin'
If it's a God and he in the sky
he looking down
he understand
I'm just a man
and I'm wrong for revenge
But I don't get 'em
it's like tellin' him to
gon' kill again
Keep fucking around
it's going to be on in a minute
Boy we livin' in a war zone
Guess you don't notice
when you livin' in it
Like every weekend
it's a man down
Ain't got no pity
for the innocent so
I'ma represent it
Dedicated tell 'em
Hands up can't breathe
Hands up can't breathe
Hands up can't breathe
Hands up can't you see
we livin' in a war zone
This goes to the white boy
that ran in the old church
I hope you get slow murked
and they torture you slow first
Ran in our place of worship to
slaughter our grandma
Won't go kamikaze for that
well what would you die for
Hold up I'll wait
I'll wait
Heard it from buddy
who took for the fall for Watergate
The war on drugs was just a war on us
Give us all these guns
give us all this dust
Change all them laws
lock all of us up
Went from Freeway Ricky
on to BMF free Meech
Then hip hop came
that's when we got rich
Cause white kids
gravitated to it like all of us did
And that's when they got slick
Invented the technology
to take our shit
Diluted all of the artistry
Pardon me
somebody tell me
what happened to Alton
Sterling
killed Philando right
in front of the girl
And the world saw
Everybody's reaction was
Hell naw
This modern day slavery
the prison publicly traded
And the jig's up
The Constitution and Emancipation
Proclamation's just a fuckin'
piece of paper
Can't you see we
livin' in a war zone
Guess you don't notice
when you livin' in it
Like every weekend
it's a man down
Ain't got no pity
for the innocent so
I'ma represent it
Dedicated tell 'em
Hands up can't breathe
Hands up can't breathe
Hands up can't breathe
Hands up can't you see
we livin' in a war zone
