Escape From The Killing Fields Lyrics - O.g. Original Gangster - Ice T

Here we go 

I'm movin' off death row 

Ya gotta keep up hops 

Ya can't be slow 

Cuse their towers are high 

They got the hype gaats 

Check the perimeters good 

Read the maps 

It's night 

They might not see us 

Cuse if they catch us out there 

They'll bleed us 

Shoot us, kill us 

Dump us in a dark ditch 

Clean it up, call it a gang hit 

I gotta make my move 

Cause I'm a renegade 

I recognize 

when mind techniques 

Are being played 

It's a plot they use 

To keep down another 

Here comes another 

Brainwashed brother 

Shut up do you know 

How dumb you sound? 

That mentality 

What keeps my people down 

No one wants to 

Live in an urban war 

You live there cause 

Your parents were poor 

They live there because 

Theirs were also 

Get yourself together 

Hit the gates bro! 

CHORUS 

Ya gotta get out! 

Ya gotta get out! Why? 

Ya gotta get out! 

Ya gotta get out! Why? 

Ya gotta get out! 

Ya gotta get out! Why? 

Cause the fields 

Are where you die! 

Escape from 

The killing fields 

You try to keep us 

Running and running faster 

But I ain't runnin' from ya 

I'm runnin' at ya 

and my posse's thick 

About a mil strong 

Too late to make up now 

Cause it's on 

I'm the one that's got ya 

In constant fear 

I'm the nigga 

You shoulda killed last yeaar 

But you played yourself 

You let me gain wealth 

Now I can change the wy 

The cards are dealt 

I've schooled my homeboys 

Made 'em all understand 

The tricks nd twists 

Inflicted on the Black man 

How ya make me think 

to be down 

I gotta stay around 

Down in the motherfuckin' 

Battleground 

There'll never be any good 

Schools in the hood 

There'll never be any cops 

That are any good 

The hospital is a great place 

To go to die 

Real estate's cheap 

Let me tell ya why? 

The man's got a 

Sure fire system 

A economic prison! 

CHORUS 

Escape from 

The killing fields!
