i swear

Singer: belly

yeah

this for all my niggas in lockup

if you was convicted of something you didn't do

if you was wrongfully accused

if you was discriminated against

this is for you

i swear they wanna stop me

i swear they think they got me

they judge me then they lock me

i stand up they can't drop me

i swear they wanna stop me

i swear they think they got me

they judge me then they lock me

i stand up they can't drop me

we gotta pick ourselves up

out here

nobody's tryna help us

that's why they try to jail us

blackmail us

close the coffin keep the nails shut

why i got the popo's hating

when i beat 3 cases

i ain't never had no probation

you'll never succeed if you don't show no patience

i remember the days when there was no rotation

we was leaving messaged nobody would call back

now it's superstardom broads calls and all that

what i'm speaking is all fact i'm innocent

i went legit tell em all to fall back

i don't hesitate

i let em hate

you know you talking to a leather face i'll never break

they pull over the escalades to check the plates

don't you got rapes and murders to investigate?

i swear they wanna stop me

i swear they think they got me

they judge me then they lock me

i stand up they can't drop me

i swear they wanna stop me

i swear they think they got me

they judge me then they lock me

i stand up they can't drop me

i swear that when i come up ima put the hood down

ima guarantee my niggas front 50 on every ounce

no more fronting the homies we fucking with major weight

and i swear

that when i get up on my feet we straight

i done stood on every corner moving work on the blocks

got enemies i ain't never seen

so i'm shell shot

got a glock.45 and a holster on my side

and i'm prepared to put it down on anybody wanna die

i been down for too long my game too strong

to be a broke motherfucker

and ima put that on

everything i believe in

looks are deceiving

just because a dog don't bite don't mean he teething

and i'm seasoning

i'm programmed to squeeze it

fuck the 40 acres and the mule

we dyin over few

in this white man's world that's how they do

and most of my homies off in the hood off in this crew

i swear they wanna stop me

i swear they think they got me

they judge me then they lock me

i stand up they can't drop me

i swear they wanna stop me

i swear they think they got me

they judge me then they lock me

i stand up they can't drop me

i've been close to gone

seen death vividly

speak my heart out

i guess that's what stress did to me

now it's less freedom less liberty

no wonder jails is filled with ethnicity

this is the evolution without the education of

the youth the revolution of rap

the difference between illusion and fact

all they give us is rap

ball all future of crap

i swear to god the prison system is sick

half the convicts

serve time for crimes they didn't commit

gotta sleep where they piss and they shit

how can you judge them when god has forgiven their sins

don't you ever let out

tear in my eyes is streaming

screaming big home keep your head up

you wonder why i'm defending their rights?

you know how deeply this affected my life? heyy

i swear they wanna stop me

i swear they think they got me

they judge me then they lock me

i stand up they can't drop me

i swear they wanna stop me

i swear they think they got me

they judge me then they lock me

i stand up they can't drop me
