Lyrics

Coolin' on the block and we down for some ignorance
No love to the opps 'cause we down for some ignorance
I just bought a **** 'cause I'm down for some ignorance
My man just got popped now I'm down for some ignorance
Scream “**** the police" if you down for some ignorance
Turn up on CPD if you down for some ignorance
On foe nem ridin' round and you know they were the shit
Might pull up on your block, let it blow in this *****
Get down, down for some ignorance
Down, down for some ignorance
Down, down for some ignorance
Down, down for some ignorance
Don't forget the heat (Watch out)
They might catch you lackin' (Watch out)
On 47th street (Watch out)
By your mama address (Watch out)
Rock you right to sleep (Watch out)
Like a lil' baby
Gotta keep a strap on me like a straight jacket
***** I might go crazy (Ahhh!)
Tuck your scary *** in bed, I'd like to sing to you a little ghetto lullaby
Grab your gun and light a blunt, and pop a pill, put a middle finger in the sky
Two ****s in a black Toyota with a strap that's loaded and I can't control 'em
Ready for a game of Texas Hold 'Em
Meaning there ain't no joker and they might poke ya for that white Sammy Sosa
Catch 'em lacking on your granny's sofa
Home alone and he about to roll up
He don't know we about to roll up
Up for revenge and I'm down for some ignorance
Run up in his crib, lay down all the witnesses
Finna take a ride and we packin', this a business trip
Me with the cannon in my hand, you can picture this?
Down
Hide my pain in the past, behind my face in this mask
Foot to the gas, buck on the dash
I might spaz, on your goof ***
Don't make me blast, shit come off "safe", if you don't open the safe
Totin' an 8 open the door, open his face with this b***
Blood on the carpet, no conscience
Beat a **** like an 808 "So Heartless"
Ran out the back door of the apartment
Stashed the bloody gloves in the garbage
These nightmares turn us into monsters
Memories on 47th street haunt us
You a ghost, **** around with them **** arounds
You can get smoked
Down, down for some ignorance
Down, down for some ignorance
Down, down for some ignorance
Down, down for some ignorance
Get 'em
****s on ya head (Watch out)
Wanna see you bleedin' (watch out)
They just took a L (watch out)
They gon' make it even (watch out)
They know where you live (watch out)
They gon' catch you while you leavin'
Is that a face in the staircase, ***** I might be tweakin'
Listen to the voices in my head
Welcome to my ****ed up reality
Ever since you did that home invasion
Cause the universe can feel ya energy
Mentally ill, **** Dr. Phil
All these pills ain't Benadryl (Chiraq)
No oil but it's been a drill
Let me show you how the jungle feel
Lions, Tigers, Bears (Oh my)
Tryna dodge the feds (Watch Out)
If the National Guard was actually hard they wouldn't be scared (Southside)
Of these kids, grew up with no moms and no dads
Blew up with these rhymes and notepads
Even if they did they'd dump heads
One a one way street to nowhere
Everything to prove, with nothing to lose
You fools at Fox News
Couldn't walk a block in our shoes
They'll lay you down
Down, down for some ignorance
Down, down for some ignorance
Down, down for some ignorance
Down, down for some ignorance
Get 'em
