[00:42.37]This is for the rum spillers and drug dealers
[00:44.89]I ain’t no J Dilla but I come from a slum village (Rest in Peace)
[00:48.06]Trying to survive out here you’d better come with it
[00:50.79]Pain is pleasure, some get it, some give it
[00:53.31]Yo, the kids don’t have socks or shoes
[00:56.11]This is not a rap song, this is rock and blues
[00:58.73]Watch the news, see the reporter telling tall tales
[01:01.90]It’s like a trap scene you destined to all fail
[01:04.47]All hail the corner store testament
[01:07.04]City of Philly no rest is meant for any residents
[01:09.80]Cops arrest you without no evidence
[01:12.57]Only way we getting rich is out-of-court settlements
[01:15.26]Can't move out your momma house, you in the basement
[01:17.77]Can’t afford to live in the hood, gentrification
[01:20.48]This is a nation divided between the guys
[01:22.99]Getting cream and the working poor who die on their knees
[01:25.61]Yeah, the have and have-nots
[01:27.92]Taking lives and squeeze til the last drop
[01:29.97]So we drink til the last shot
[01:31.53]In a land of white judges and black cops
[01:34.05]I only know one way out, this is my last shot
[01:36.78]Take a look around, tell me what you see
[01:39.48]Tell me what you would wanna do if you was me
[01:42.19]I don’t wanna live, don’t really wanna die
[01:44.93]They wanna clip my wings, I just wanna fly
[01:47.69]So get me outta here, get get me outta here
[01:50.30]Get me outta here, get get me outta here
[01:53.07] I can’t take the madness, won’t take my life for granted
[01:55.70]Or let them take advantage, I’d rather take my chances
[01:58.31]But do you get me? How can you live in a city
[02:00.93]Where millions'll still feel alone and empty
[02:03.35]The walls have been painted with the blood of my loved ones
[02:06.01]So every day I will not forget where I come from
[02:08.83]I’m from the home of the brave, home of the slave
[02:11.56]Where they recommend you invest stocks in graves
[02:14.97]Stolen and locked away
[02:16.43]And we ain’t had a win since ************* Dr. J
[02:19.50]I’ve got a lot to say but not enough time
[02:22.22]I wanna tell you the whole story, ain’t got enough rhymes
[02:25.17]Ain’t got enough pain to share it all
[02:27.54]The load’s too heavy dog, my back can’t bear it all
[02:30.56]They don’t care at all, isn’t it obvious?
[02:33.09]The world is run by crooks and gun-toting lobbyists
[02:35.84]Officials who fail to deliver on promises
[02:38.39]Pay to play the only way they ever acknowledge us
[02:41.20]Kids can’t afford colleges without scholarships
[02:43.84]If you ain’t prominent you not a ****
[02:45.94]Blue or white life is determined by what color your collar is
[02:49.38]I’ve reached the end of my rope, I have no more tolerance
[02:52.37]Take a look around, tell me what you see
[02:55.07]Tell me what you would wanna do if you was me
[02:57.78]I don’t wanna live, don’t really wanna die
[03:00.48]They wanna clip my wings, I just wanna fly
[03:03.18]So get me outta here, get get me outta here
[03:05.75]Get me outta here, get get me outta here
[03:08.53]I can’t take the madness, won’t take my life for granted
[03:11.23]Or let them take advantage, I’d rather take my chances
[03:14.24]Get me outta here, get get me outta here……
