Lyrics

[Intro]
I'd like to exercise my right to remain silent, please
I plead the .45th, 'cause this shit is beyond me
All their words don't mean anything, city of haters, city of demons
[Verse 1]
I wanna love all of y'all, but I don't think it's enough Tylenol
I'm thinking 'bout calling off, I'm tired as fuck and I'm nodding off
Surrounded by narcissists
My noose is moving through the contusions
They see my hue and they wanna do me just like Huey P. Newton
I got a laundry list of lessons in Chicago lost
Running from pagans, running with Reagan
Now they with Donald Trump
I don't take nothing too personal
Like 50 Cent, I'ma let my Curtis blow
Gold grill and a greasy fro'
No peace to the pity, whoa
[Chorus]
I'd like to exercise my right to remain silent, please
I plead the .45th, 'cause this shit is beyond me
All their words don't mean anything, city of haters, city of demons
[Verse 2]
They say they love all of y'all, but that's to get the the deposits off
I was a child meanwhile my grandfather playing Ahmad Jamal
While **** incarcerated, cops still living above the law
The city so cold, I had to leave out quick and let the car defrost
Westside Chicago, dodging a pothole
Know I can die tomorrow
'Cause that's the reality, this shit ain't all peachy, a tangerine
They cover it up a catastrophe
A couple of em' killed by the badge, at ease
This shit is a war, never had no peace
They pulling me over, harassing me
So, I'd like to see all of them bastards bleed
[Chorus]
I'd like to exercise my right to remain silent, please
I plead the .45th, 'cause this shit is beyond me
All their words don't mean anything, city of haters, city of demons
