Tired of Being Stepped On

[Chorus: Levitti] (x4)

I’m tired of being stepped on

Mack D-Shot, brought up by the middle class

I did time for crime ‘cause I was living fast

I spent two on a lockdown in Preston

To hire me is way out the question

Jail cells for a black man's punishment

Couldn't give a damn ‘cause the other man's runnin’ it

Now back on the streets, I gotta compete, so

But you can't beat no case

When you're trapped in the system

The government want you to diss them

Now I'm back on the bed, where I once slept on

I'm tired of being stepped on

I ain't prejudiced, I gots nathan on the white man

I'm only down for my folks what’s right and

So what's wrong with potna with the gat on the job?

He wanna squab ‘cause it’s zeens on the mob?

Pull you over, then he search in your whole car

Four deep and you gotta be the rock star

"So where's the crack, mayne? So where's the gats, mayne?

You know you brothers, you call it a black thang."

I'm not in your hood, up to no-good-ism

So won't you go on with all the old racism

Unless you want me to take, the law in my own hands

‘Cause, dude, I'm a strong man

And that's a black man, tired of being stepped on

In the late night always gettin’ crept on

By some authority who needs to really be fired

‘Cause Legit is straight tired

Claybank, Vacaville, then up there by Reno

Twenty-two months of eatin’ that stuff on a shingle

Ninety days left, I'm almost out of jail

On a mission about my mail to the Hillside of Vallejo

There I will sell, rocks so swell

Build up clientele, and give the task hell

No other choice, I'm on parole, I got a felony

I look for a job and then they diss me (diss me)

Man, my mother is disabled, I ain't got no food on the table

All I can afford is noodles with a generic label

This goes on for about a week-and-a-half, I need to think fast

I need some cash, let me water my grass

And make it greener

Then I started thinking of all types of gimmicks and gadgets

As I looked through the cabinets

Man, what should I do my friend, hop in the game again?

I guess I'm headed for the pen
