MOUNT WESTMORE - Step Child lyrics
[MOUNT WESTMORE - Step Child lyrics]
You know, in life, I come to find out that
There's a little bit of good
Little bit of bad in everything
It's always some good people
Always some bad people
Perfect example: I know some good
Gangbangers and some bad gangbangers
I know some good police officers
And some bad police officers
So the moral of the story is, we gots to get
Some motherfuckin' understanding or else
All frowns, no smiles, no more Black on Brown
Let's get togethеr and show 'em
How we get down
I hеard payback's a motherfuckin' nigga
That's why I'm sick of gettin' treated
Like a goddamn step child
What? Are you Black now?
You a activist, that's how you act now?
(Ball your fists up)
You told 'em don't treat me like a step child
We all equal, you wanna help now?
My white friends ask me
"What's the problem?"
Y'all motherfuckers won't stop 'em
(Don't do it)
Ever since they got the black powder
You could hear the screams gettin' louder
I'm a hundred percent positive that's
Not why they made it
So can go around the world
Killin' all the natives (Why you do it?)
You fast forward to the future
They callin' police and they
Still wanna shoot ya
Why they wanna knock us down
And wipe us out 'til we not around?
(Where we goin'?)
You ain't no different than a slaver
Mass incarceration, it's free labor (Bitch)
All frowns, no smiles, no more Black on Brown
Let's get together and show 'em
How we get down
I heard payback's a motherfuckin' nigga
That's why I'm sick of gettin' treated
Our Black queens was insecure
About their lips but now look who want 'em
Content about their tit's
But now look who want 'em
Embarrassed about their hips
But now look who want 'em gluteus maximus
But now look who want 'em
Our culture is invaded
They steal and they take it
After we create it
They act like they made it
We accept it, embrace it
They get their hair braided
Make this slang into phrases, they imitate it
Look, officer, get your knee off my neck
Bitch, you don't see me resistin'
Why the fuck is you so upset?
You bring your problems to work 'cause your
Shit is fucked up at home
Since a kid you was racist
Got bullied when you was young
All frowns, no smiles, no more Black on Brown
Let's get together and show 'em
How we get down
I heard payback's a motherfuckin' nigga
That's why I'm sick of gettin' treated
Like a goddamn step child
Once we get on top, I'm fuckin' you over
And that's on Jehovah (On God)
Yep, I'm treatin' you colder
And fryin' yo' ass, and turnin' you over
See, I am a soldier no mercy from me
(No) , this verse is for free
'Cause, I am the man
I'm shakin' your hand and takin' your land
(My Lord) with the help from the God
With me and my rod, let's end this facade
(Blow it up) your world is corrupt
Motherfucker, your time is up
All frowns, no smiles, no more Black on Brown
Let's get together and show 'em
How we get down
I heard payback's a motherfuckin' nigga
That's why I'm sick of gettin' treated
Like a goddamn step child
It may be time to let it burst
But first we gotta treat each other
Better first then get reimbursed
Yeah, we need a bag
Big bag for our sweat and tears
Back pay, this owed for the last 400 years
Third generation soldier
G-Pops and Pops served their time overseas
Mines was on the corner
Fightin' for the blue, goin' against the red
While the white part sittin' around
Collectin' all the bread
We can fight they wars but
They won't fight for us
They gentrified everything so now
They right with us
Yeah, next door neighbors askin' for favors
Actin' tense 'cause they unsure
Of our natural behavior
Thinkin' that we want revenge 'cause
The way they enslaved us but we peaceful
Y'all the ones labeled us dangerous
Like we threw 'em in them cages
For not knowin' how to act
It's like the pot callin' the kettle black
Y'all niggas crazy
You want me to stop talkin'
Like this? Well, nigga, make me
They control the cash money so
They think they Baby
Try to silence Nick for what he
Read out a book they wrote
Hmm, ain't that a slippery slope?
That's why I question everything
That that history wrote
Time to repair everything that
That history broke
Hit the clutch, get in gear
One foot on the gas
The other foot way deep in they ass
You understand me?
All frowns, no smiles, no more Black on Brown
Let's get together and show 'em
How we get down
I heard payback's a motherfuckin' nigga
That's why I'm sick of gettin' treated
Like a goddamn step child
There's a little bit of good
Little bit of bad in everything
It's always some good people
Always some bad people
Perfect example: I know some good
Gangbangers and some bad gangbangers
I know some good police officers
And some bad police officers
So the moral of the story is, we gots to get
