I teach my kids beware of the police

They are not your friend

They will not help you in time of need

They're your enemy

And one day they will come for us

They wanna criminalize us


[Verse 1: Loc Saint]

Harsh times though we livin' while the news take truth that'll warpen us

Tell the story turn back strict time put a cork in us

Strychnine to the spine while we trapped in the matrix just like Morpheus

Cops fire more caps to the back than baby riddle caps

And about bad parenthood abortionist

And all they ever wanna do is orphan us

Just another given loss every single american sick and singled out turn into a contortionist

Open the jaws and cram laws down my throat like I dont wanna get into it but they forcin' us

They're given the rights to bear arms

So I'm speakin' to fight to scare harm

Motherfuckers think they horse with us

They get decoursed to dust

I represent we the people everybody be endorsin' us

And they're never ever gonna gun forfeit us

They put a fork in us, now we done

If we really wanna get it we can run this motherfucker

Become somethin' better than whatever they done

I'm a crooked cop killer for an instance I'm sick of seein' my brothers blood run when he performed

But ain't nobody wanna listen so I feed the storm

And arm up like we're ready for war

The hardcore shit


[Chorus: Loc Saint & Playboy The Beast]

They try to criminalize us

Innocent American, better be ready goin' into battle

Bloody war like a Serengeti

Fuck the police, gang bang like a military

Everybody better arm up

Criminalize us

Innocent American, better be ready goin' into battle

Bloody war like a Serengeti

Fuck the police, gang bang like a military

They tryna criminalize us (x2)

You better arm up and get with it


[Verse 2: Playboy The Beast]

Somebody, anybody tell me why

The government friendin' the city tellin' us lies

We advise everyday you're behind [?]

And they takin' our freedom don't give a fuck about no lives

They move social media control the demise

Fuck the popular opinion man I see through the lies

But they be triggered to be holy they can see for the skies

[?] imminent kind

We need to open up our eyes to the signs stop bein' blind

Yo I be tryna keep my head up the shit getting ridiculous

Im fed up, homies doin time for crimes that were victimless

They only wanna hear about drugs [?]

Like im talkin to myself like the world is what I'm pissin in

Im never gonna be

I report a visionary

Coming together now we limitless

Tryna silence the truth and everything that we say

But I say fuck that till we load the AKs

Cus the change awaits

Cus if we don't change soon its gonna be our last days

Gotta look inside ourselves, gotta find a better way

Keep your head up be strong gotta fight another day yeah


[Chorus: Loc Saint & Playboy The Beast]

They try to criminalize us

Innocent American, better be ready goin' into battle

Bloody war like a Serengeti

Fuck the police, gang bang like a military

Everybody better arm up

Criminalize us

Innocent American, better be ready goin' into battle

Bloody war like a Serengeti

Fuck the police, gang bang like a military

They tryna criminalize us (x2)

You better arm up and get with it


[Verse 3: King Iso]

BRAIN been just spitting in a different size

The difference between us was nothing really listen and wise up

Geographical positions man, indigenous types of

Natives all around the world so why you gettin us tied up

In the bickering light

Between a billion sizes, shapes and colors

My brothers and my sisters are riders

In the vision is Christ his wish turned into religion which blinds us

A war full of infinite fighting

And what the man made should you recite

And if it ain't natural campaigns getting you fightin

Political matters though damn shame killing you guys

So your riches get catapult

Enslaves niggas that tryna give us collateral

Niggas was mad at those freaking citizens fightin'

And every single condition that the citizens side in

Assassinated our leaders tryna get us some rights in

Just let us with information have to give us a right in

Hide God, for I'ma beat the freakin' Christian inside 'em

Any sign of resisting we put the men in asylum

If we're given the rights then put the same laws that we have for the slaves y'all, now them niggas are tied in

Now the brains inside of 'em is freaking ignitin'

Gangs are forming, drugs gotta get in inside them

So they rage on each other now I really will like it

Now we locking all them niggas up, I'm quicker than lightning

To nothin niggas free they got a prison inside 'em

Pineal gland with a stick I'ma diss on the blinded

Now they losin' their soul I wonder where they could find it

Since the beginning I was just actually getting explained it

The media feminizing my niggas for prices

And it's all about riches homie, it's bigger than ISIS

It's bigger than Bloods, Crips, as sick as we fightin'

'Cause when we fight back then they criminalize us


[Chorus: Loc Saint & Playboy The Beast]

They try to criminalize us

Innocent American, better be ready goin' into battle

Bloody war like a Serengeti

Fuck the police, gang bang like a military

Everybody better arm up

Criminalize us

Innocent American, better be ready goin' into battle

Bloody war like a Serengeti

Fuck the police, gang bang like a military

They tryna criminalize us (x2)

You better arm up and get with it
