walking in the snow

Get a dose a dirty code to go, been cold since Co-Flow

I got a wire or two un-lodging I'll set a fire down below

I'll hang it up when you say, "Sorry, I didn't know"

Prolly got a year or ten to go, so let's go

I don't really know how to go slow

Just got done walking in the snow

God damn that motherfucker's cold (Aye)

You in the wrong mode, you open and closin' your hole, it's a no-go

This whole world's a shit moat filled to the brim like Gitmo

When you think it don't get mo' lo' it limbo till the sticks on flo'

All oppression's born of lies, I don't make the rules, I'm just one guy

All due respect, if getting spit on's how respect is now defined

Hungry for truth but you got screwed and drank the Kool Aid, there's a line

It end directly at the edge of a mass grave, that's their design

Funny fact about a cage, they're never built for just one group

So when that cage is done with them and you still poor, it come for you

The newest lowest on the totem, well, golly gee, you have been used

You helped to fuel the death machine that down the line will kill you too (Oops)

Pseudo Christians y'all indifferent? Kids in prisons ain't a sin? Shit

If even one scrap of what Jesus taught connected you'd feel different

What a disingenuous way to piss away existence, I don't get it

I'd say you lost your God damn minds if y'all possessed one to begin with

Just got done walking in the snow

God damn, that motherfucker cold

Just got done walking in the snow

God damn, that motherfucker cold

Just got done walking in the snow

God damn, that motherfucker cold

Just got done walking in the snow

God damn, that motherfucker cold

Yeah hoe, Gangsta Boo, Run The Jewels

We back on our shit and it's cold as fuck

The way I see it you're probably freest from the ages one to four

Around the age of five, you're shipped away for your body to be stored

They promise education but really they give you tests and scores

And they predicting prison population by who scoring the lowest

And usually the lowest score's the poorest and they look like me

And everyday on the evening news they feed you fear for free

And you so numb you watch the cops choke out a man like me

Until my voice goes from a shriek to whisper, "I can't breathe"

And you sit there in house on couch and watch it on TV

The most you give's a Twitter rant and call it a tragedy

But truly the travesty

You've been robbed of your empathy

Replaced it with apathy

I wish I could magically

Fast forward the future so then you can face it and see how fucked up it'll be

I promise I'm honest, they coming for you the day after they coming for me

I'm reading Chomsky, I read Bukowski, I'm laying low for a week

I said something on behalf of my people and I popped up in Wikileaks

Thank God that I'm covered, the devil come smothered and you know the evil don't sleep

Dick Gregory told me a couple of secrets before he laid down in his grave

All of us serve the same masters

All of us nothing but slaves

Never forget in the story of Jesus, the hero was killed by the state

Just got done walking in the snow

God damn, that motherfucker cold

Just got done walking in the snow

God damn, that motherfucker cold

Just got done walking in the snow

God damn, that motherfucker cold

Just got done walking in the snow

God damn, that motherfucker cold

Who really wanna run it with the Jewel Runners?

Go hell fire hot in a new sauna

It's cold winter, baby, and a cruel summer

I suicide bomb in the blue Hummer

And emerge out the side not a bruise on 'em

Bad news come in twos son, do sumpin'

Treat beats like a wet thigh, chew on 'em

Got a stroke row crew on 'em, move on 'em

We be the heroes, the breakers of chains and the busters of locks

You be them suckers supporting them snitches that talk to the cops

This the illmatic of turning your face in to fucker foie gras

I'm not so sure opportunities knocking, it's prolly the law

Word to the old school tape decks

I give Radio Raheem respect

My Nike pendant sacred

Similar to the Ghostface bracelet

Fire in the hole, oh no joke

Prolly go broke just off smoke

Fuck are we gonna do, not smoke?

Get a job, play the role, be adults?

Nah, I'ma do me, ありがと

First of all, they cheated

'Cause the one of them black and the other one white

So, if you don't like 'em

You automatically racist
