Lyrics
0:11North Division tryin' to stop my blackness
0:13I'm watchin' for them badges when out in traffic
0:17Them 9-11's been a tad bit frantic
0:19If lights start flashin' please don't panic
0:22The DEA givin' out gang enhancements
0:24Can barely even hang to build a case off cameras
0:27CCAT trackin' criminal patterns
0:30Trickin' niggas into takin' strikes to get out faster
0:32Freedom bribery ni**a cause we hardly acquit
0:35Social media that leave the flash photography snitchin'
0:38Blame geography ni**a for the pride in these niggas
0:41Take you when they fingerprint you now you part of the system
0:43This was all a part of Huey P. and Bobby prediction
0:46Makin' profit off of violence they arousin' attention
0:49Leaders risin' lead to twenty-five to life in the prison
0:52Better watch it cause I know they got a spot for you ni**a
0:55Yeah put your hands in the air
0:58Put your hands in the air
1:01Put your hands in the air
1:03Ni**a freeze put your hands in the air
1:06Yeah put your hands in the air
1:09Put your hands in the air
1:12Put your hands in the air
1:14Yeah put your hands in the air
1:16Deangelo Lopez and Tyler Woods
1:19Just a couple they gunned down around the hood
1:21I guess the pigs split wigs for the greater good
1:24Cause I ain't seen them lock a swine up yet
1:26At the most they reassign 'em to prevent protest
1:29Just your color is enough to get you under arrest
1:32Strong hand to the law got me feelin' oppressed
1:34If you flippin' kill a fifty then you get in a chair
1:37Payin' taxes for some f**kin' clowns to ride around
1:40Whoopin' niggas asses scared to man up
1:42Handcuffs givin' niggas gashes on the wrist
1:44I used to lift my fist to fight the power with
1:46Older homie told me in his day the pigs was plantin' bricks
1:49In the trunks of ni**a's Chevrolets them traffic stops and sh*t
1:52Raidin' homes without a warrant
1:53Shoot him first without a warning
1:55And they expect respect and non-violence
1:58I refuse the right to be silent
2:00Yeah put your hands in the air
2:04Put your hands in the air
2:06Put your hands in the air
2:09Yeah put your hands in the air
2:11Yeah put your hands in the air
2:15Put your hands in the air
2:17Put your hands in the air
2:20Yeah put your hands in the air
2:22LBPD no they ain't 'bout sh*t
2:24LAPD no they ain't 'bout sh*t
2:27LASD no they ain't 'bout sh*t
2:30Ridin' 'round these streets givin' out full clips
2:33LBPD no they ain't 'bout sh*t
2:35LAPD no they ain't 'bout sh*t
2:38LASD no they ain't 'bout sh*t
2:41Ridin' 'round these streets givin' out full clips
2:44Yeah put your hands in the air
2:47Put your hands in the air
2:50Put your hands in the air
2:52Ni**a freeze put your hands in the air
2:55Yeah put your hands in the air
2:58Put your hands in the air
3:01Put your hands in the air
3:03Ni**a freeze
