logic - stop the iron pipeline lyrics

[verse 1]
comin’ from nothin’, try to see tomorrow
people feelin’ forced to steal cause they can’t ask to borrow
we come from families where pops never stayed around
grew up on playgrounds where k!llers spray rounds
complexes with regular swat takedowns
streets covered in blood with cops who barely make rounds
that’s why i write lines, automatics circulate the pipeline
lyricism that fight crime, follow the right signs
how can a mother watchin’ bullets rain, watch her son shine?
most of us taught to shoot and steal, run from one time
a life in prison only take one crime, not one dime as we drop it
this the mentality, needs stoppin’
it don’t start at the home, it start in the street
systemic redlinin’ on which side gon’ eat
if you had to shoot and steal just to get your next meal, you probably will
that’s how the people where i’m from feel
all we know is what we know, they done fed us a pill
but when it comes to bullets on our block, we must appeal
they make us pick a side, no one to confide
when we young they tell us we could be whatever but they lied

[chorus]
put ’em down and get up, put ’em down and get up
this is motivator for the people that been fed up
put ’em down and get up, put ’em down and get up
this is motivator for the people that never let up
put ’em down and get up, put ’em down and get up
this is motivator for the people that been fed up
put ’em down and get up, put ’em down and get up
this is motivator for the people that never let up
[verse 2]
people k!llin’ over s+x, drugs, money, women and pride
this doesn’t stop with the pipeline, it starts with the right time
to open up these young minds and system
callin’ community politicians to take people from beneath
and put ’em in higher positions, this is your job to keep more alive
that’s why i put the gat down and never glorify
things that lead most families mortified, it starts at the bottom
change the young man’s mind and you got ’em
don’t just lock ’em up after you caught ’em
go and teach ’em to fish, if you won’t do it
i’ma do it, i’ma reach ’em with this
i’ve been there, i seen drugs in the crib
robbers and k!llers, cook crack at twelve years old
all the bullsh+t they instill us, feel like
all you know is all you got, but it’s not
you are so much more than sellin’ someone else’s dope from the shore
with a promise that you’ll never be poor
nothin’ but lies homie, put the gun down and rise, homie
