x-raided - california state lyrics

[verse 1: x+raided]
golden state, california republic
where money for public education wasn’t in the budget
law enforcement got the greater portion of the funding
lady justice turned a blind eye to it, it’s disgusting
it’s impossible to grow when the soil wasn’t fertilized
and every form of media encouraged you to murder guys
america has monetized your existence and your demise
the devil in a blue dress, that robe is simply her disguise
a man stole a slice of pizza to survive
they gave him life, the way he felt cannot correctly be described
and there was lady justice with her head held high
lifted up her blindfold and looked directly in her eyes
she say “you so mellow, you so cool”
she say “you speak so well. which school did you go to?”
tell her i graduated from

[chorus: x+raided]
california state, not the university, paroled from the penitentiary
where i was educated for a quarter of a century
remember me? tell her i graduated from california state
prison, sacramento where conditions are designed to crack your mental
and the lwop’s think the only way they goin’ home is in a body bag
new folsom, prison blues, no johnny cash

[bridge: x+raided & locksmith]
walk the line
walk the line
[verse 2: locksmith]
listen, i remember when neighborhoods was a village
my momma was your momma and we would raise each other’s children
now we kinda different ’cause the consequences are stiffer
system rearin’ our children, we in the rear of the picture
and richmond was nothing different, the crescent was no exception
the children have no direction ’cause poppa’s in a correction
facility, little league games all empty bleachers
in eighth grade, breaking in houses and bipping kias
now he’s rappin’ and singin ‘and sippin’ lean on his insta
disabled three times and now he’s rhymin’ on instru+
mentals he got on the internet, besides the inner threat
the gun charge he got last year that cast a bigger net
this is met with plenty of fanfare from the fair skin they’re in
long as it’s not a threat to their kin (d+mn)
therein lies the problem that’s imperative (what?)
it’s time that we redefine that narrative
’cause i’m from
