Ironic - Us vs Them Lyrics

If you not from this side then fall back or something
I spit a flow, its give and go I got these rappers running
I only write in lowercase cause I ain't capping nothin
We're slowly coming together, man look what Kapp has done
He took a stand, now I'm down on one knee with my brothers and sisters
Fuck the news, magazines and all the covers and pictures
Enough of religion, a couple of Christians
Just killed an innocent woman when she had love for the system?
Its got me fucked up
How can we trust them if they don't trust us
And she was fighting for the same cause
Tell me how you take a life when it ain't yours
Tell me how you act surprised when we blame laws
Tell me what they know about the struggle
They ain't ever been forced to sit in the house and hustle
They ain't ever been forced to grow up without their mother
And watch their brothers be killed, he's trying to stay out of trouble
But does he really have a choice?
Baby mama aborted but shit he nearly had a boy
His city is sleeping, they never hear him making noise
Stuck with this feeling, its like he's filling in a void
When you come from the bottom, you see your innocence destroyed
He says I'm just trying to be great
Fuck that, I'm just trying to be me
You see the fire in my eyes, I feel inspired from defeat
I told my family that we ain't gonna die up in these streets
I'm finally rise up on my feet won't ever give up
I ain't out to get those people back the way they did us
Ever since a jit, I been fixed on the bigger picture
They hate it when you make your own lane and that's why they whisper
As long as I remember, the cops patrolling the streets
I guess I was lucky i got on with the older G's
They had my back and made sure that I was walking in peace
Tell me why I ever would need to talk to police

They don't wanna see you come from the gutter and shine
They don't wanna see you get out of trouble and rise
I came from nothing it was only my brothers and I
Why do they only notice the struggle when one of us dies
They don't wanna see you come from the gutter and shine
They don't wanna see you get out of trouble and rise
I came from nothing it was only my brothers and I
Why do they only notice the struggle when one of us dies
That's real
