Will Soul - Burnin' And Lootin' lyrics

Uh, okay, never understand why they do it
Someone cut the channel off the
News 'fore I lose it (Nah)
I ain't even trippin', if you wit' it
Then we lootin' (Nah)
Help me put this Louis in the back of Suzuki
(O oh) , o he
Had to break it down so smoothly (Smooth)
They gon' say, "It's not about race
" but we movin' (Fuckin') ho, power
Copped the trey-pound
Had to put that in my name
Wish a nigga play now (yeah)
Any given day, I'll be headed to the pulpit's
(yeah) say a lil' prayer, matter fact
I need two of 'em, ooh
Won't he do it? Won't he do it?
Ooh, this ain't '92 so we into nеw rules
Niggas got hip, so we don't loot the projеcts
'Bout to hit Rodeo with my lil' cousin Marcus
Someone threw a whole brick


In the Neiman Marcus (Ah)
Help me put the whole
Mannequin in the Charger

Tell me
Do you see that old lady? Ain't it sad?
Livin' out of bag but she's glad
For the little things she has
And over there, there's a lady
Crack got her crazy
Guess who's givin' birth to a baby?
I don't trip or let it fade me
From out of the fryin' pan we
Jump into another form of slavery
Even now I get discouraged
Wonder, if they take it all back
Will I still keep the courage?
I refuse to be a role model
I set goals, take control
Drink out my own bottles
I make mistakes but learn from every one
And when it's said and done
I bet this brother be a better one
If I upset you, don't stress
Never forget that God isn't
Finished with me yet
I feel His hand on my brain
When I write rhymes I go blind and
Let the Lord do his thang but am I less holy
'Cause I chose to puff a blunt and
Drink a beer with my homies?
Before we find world peace
We gotta find peace and end
The war in the streets my ghetto gospel

Oh my
Time heals all, but you out of time now (Now)
Judge gotta watch us from the clock tower
(True)
Lil' tear gas cleared the whole place out
I'll be back with the hazmat
For the next round we was tryna protest
Then the fires broke out
Look out for the secret agents
They be planted in the crowd
Said, "It's civil unrest
" but you sleep so sound
Like you don't hear the screams
When we catchin' beatdowns?
Stayin' quiet when they killin' niggas
But you speak loud when we riot
Got opinions comin' from a place of privilege
Sicker than the COVID how they
Did him on the ground speakin' of the COVID
Is it still goin' around?
And won't you tell me 'bout the
Lootin'? What's that really all about?
'Cause they throw away black
Lives like paper towels
Plus unemployment rate, what
Forty million now?
Killed a man in broad day
Might never see a trial
We just wanna break chains like
Slaves in the South
Started in the North End but
We in the downtown riot cops tried to block
Now we got a showdown

If I could recollect before my hood days
I sit and reminisce
Thinkin' of bliss and the good days
I stop and stare at the younger
My heart goes to 'em
They tested with stress that they under
And nowadays things change
Everyone's ashamed of the youth 'cause
The truth look strange
And for me it's reversed
We left 'em a world that's cursed
And it hurts
‘Cause any day they'll push the button
And all good men like Malcolm X
Or Bobby Hutton died for nothin'
Don't it make you get teary?
The world looks dreary
When you wipe your eyes, see it clearly
There's no need for you to fear me
If you take your time to hear me
Maybe you can learn to cheer me
It ain't about black or white
‘cause we human
I hope we see the light before
It's ruined my ghetto gospel

Ghetto gospel
