Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My name John and I'm a city cop
And I'm just tired of these ni-, lemme not
They try to paint me as racist but I'm really not
Call me "pork" so I put 'em on they belly at every stop
And they scared? What a joke, how 'bout how I feel?
Check the crime rate, look at my eyes behind my shield
I'm scared, this is a job, this is how I find my meals
So if they gon' lie and steal, I'm gon' make 'em lie from steel
And I think my life do matter more
I seen too many of these people kill without remorse
Used to be three fifths of a man
But I think half is more accurate
How they celebrate savageness in a patterned form?
My family raised me not to trust 'em but fuck
They ain't wrong
These other cops are my brothers
And they be wishin' us harm
They told me that it's our culture to make sure that they
Suffer, and I can't break the bond, it's all I got
I'm faithful, dog
Shit, I bleed blue like I'm a Giants fan
To question my way is to stop flow in my veins
So I ain't slowin' a day
I'ma keep everyone safe
From these black bastards, and that's word to my gang, gang, gang
[Verse 2]
I'm just ridin' for my gang, gang, gang, gang
Gang, gang, gang, gang
Gang, gang, gang, gang
Gang
I'm just ridin' for my gang, gang, gang, gang
Gang, gang, gang, gang
Gang, gang, gang, gang
America, whole lot of gang shit
America, whole lot of gang shit
America, whole lot of gang shit
Gang, gang, gang, gang
Gang
[Verse 3]
My name's James and I'm in the Klan
My family been down for a four-generation span
It's not about the hatred, man, it's love for our nation
The white place where we took savages and enslaved and tamed 'em
And these white threads, as hereditary as this white skin
I ain't have a say, soon as I was of age I was in
And if I have to I'll resort to violence
'Cause they try shine colors in a country made for white men
And we're poor too
Boo hoo, all of you lefty's complain about your oppression and pain
While all of these Mexicans came and take all our jobs and our lanes
And I don't blame corporatist games 'cause I want the spoils and fame
I could have more too, that could be me one day
That's why I love Trump, 'cause see, he see my way
We gon' make America white again
'Cause I don't wanna compete with people who work harder than me
'Cause we all spited them, and if I considered that how we livin'
Is wrong, that would mean that I would have to concede that the sale
And beatin' of those bodies was uncalled for
That it was all the murder and rape that got us these Sundays
At the golf course, that we as heinous as they try to make us out to be
Why would I even try?
There's nothin' in it for me to not treat it as a lie
So far as I'm concerned, all the blacks, Jews and the gays
And the Muslims and the Mexicans can leave or die
I do it all for the Klan, these are my brothers
They understand me and we all understand each other
Don't tell me that our fathers and mothers should be ashamed
I'm ridin' out forever for my gang, gang, gang, gang, gang
[Verse 4]
I'm just ridin' for my gang, gang, gang, gang
Gang, gang, gang, gang
Gang, gang, gang, gang
Gang
I'm just ridin' for my gang, gang, gang, gang
Gang, gang, gang, gang
Gang, gang, gang, gang
America, whole lot of gang shit
America, whole lot of gang shit
America, whole lot of gang shit
Gang, gang, gang, gang
Gang
[Verse 5]
My name Marcus and I'm in the feds
I been locked up for four years and six is left
I got ten for armed robbery, shit, and honestly
I ain't even wanna do it and it's hard not to get depressed
I'm dyin' here, was bangin' colors since a youngin'
Was born into a gang 'cause of the block that I grew up in
I done seen many die and a few folks kill
But when the world won't give you nothin', shit
You gon' steal, and my gang was all I knew
Brothers amongst the madness
Drugs and death all around us
So we was angry and callous, the gang shit was all we had
We made mistakes and were misled
But while my gang got me in jail, yours got you home in bed
Riddle me that, my skin black, it's simple as that
The hatred you both got for me is all written in fact
Of our institutions, you confused and feel like gettin' me back
For what? For livin' poor in conditions that's whack?
You claim that I strike fear in you, but what you feel is you
For me to live how you call clean it'd be a miracle
The data's empirical, you hate it when my people march for me
But don't you too scream 'cause you feel they ain't hearin' you?
Shit, your whole premise is false
But I won't waste no time tryna break your prejudice walls
Point is we all on some gang shit
Loyal to what we's taught
Believin' what was passed down, our community's theme of thought
And I'm the only one in cuffs for it, if I get out a better man
I'm still fucked for it
You turn the TV on and look, you got Trump for it
The president is in your gang, bitch, and you still point at me to blame shit
I pray that when I get out shit ain't all the same
But it's a cold world to be alone in
When the whole place that you grown in treat you like dogs in the rain
Shit, I might fuck around and call gang
Gang, gang, gang
[Verse 6]
I'm just ridin' for my gang, gang, gang, gang
Gang, gang, gang, gang
Gang, gang, gang, gang
Gang
I'm just ridin' for my gang, gang, gang, gang
Gang, gang, gang, gang
Gang, gang, gang, gang
America, whole lot of gang shit
America, whole lot of gang shit
America, whole lot of gang shit
Gang, gang, gang, gang
Gang
