hec - knock the hustle (remix) lyrics
[verse 1]
let me paint you a picture, in high definition /
as we take flight in my mind and embark on an expedition/
where our fathers aren’t locked in a cage confined by the system/
and where people aren’t dying due to their skin and its pigment/
and where mothers don’t cry over their children on the news/
where when things seem bleak people don’t tie up a noose/
see all the things i ponder allow my mind to wander/
into distant utopias way down yonder/
where blood doesn’t spill just like milk up in the streets/
where you can walk the block and make it back in one piece/
and where you can chill with your friends and play ball in the park/
without your mom saying “be careful honey make it home before dark”/
the world is full of dangers some of which are too prevalent/
while they’re all a part of life and they can also be the end of it/
but i’m not scared to die because i know that death is definite/
to me living a hard life seems to be far more desolate/
so anyone in my way is getting stretched on a gurney/
i’m tryna get my cash to pay for the attorney/
i’m tryna make a living out here doing something that’s real/
i’m tryna pay off the house and just help out with the bills /
[hook 1]
because i been in the hood dawg for way too long/
my mom’s been working 3 jobs for way too long/
my pop’s been in the pen dawg for way too long/
way too long/
[verse 2]
life is a very precious thing/
more so than a diamond ring/
but it could be over in a flash over some glistening bling/
stay on point. better look quick and duck fast/
you can lose your whole shit the second the gun blasts /
and it’s sad how society put a target on our back/
you don’t have no chance if you’re hispanic or if you’re black/
just walking down the street i can get k!lled by police/
talking about “protect and serve”but who’s out here protecting me?/
d-mn i’m under the impression that oppression will never lessen/
constant victims of the service weapon strictly due to our complexion/
racism is a plague like the most infectious infection/
pigs got us on death row hollow tips be our injection/
so i write songs to uplift the people hoping this will be a lesson/
f-ck all the violence my brother intelligence is our protection/
unite as one to become strong and then move in the right direction/
and pray to the lord bc our people are in desperate need of some blessings/
[hook 2]
because we’ve been the bad guys for way too long/
they been wanting us dead dawg for way too long/
we won’t let them oppress us we’re way too strong/
way too strong/
