Ya Shoulda Killed Me Last Year Lyrics - Ice T

{Before I go, I'd like to say a few things 

This album was completed on January fifteenth, nineteen ninety-one 

By now the war has probably started 

And a whole bunch of people have probably died 

Out there in the desert over some bullshit 

There's a war goin' on right now in my neighborhood 

But I can't really determine which one's worse 

I think the one that we are all fightin' is fucked up 

And that's the war inside out brains, you know} 

{But, uh, I feel bad about all the brothers 

And sisters gettin' pulled right out of their neighborhoods 

All the cities and small towns in America 

That go over there and fight for that bullshit 

That most of them don't really have anything to do with 

So, I gotta send peace out to them 

Also peace out to all my homies in jail 

Brothers that are dead locked up right here on earth} 

{Talkin' about the brothers in Solidad, San Quetin 

All the way up to Pelicans Bay, Tracy, Chino 

And all my homeboys out there in the East Coast lockdown facilities 

I'm talkin' about Clinton, Rikers, Jolead 

You know, every prison in the whole fuckin' world, man 

That's like, you know, that's all bullshit, you know 

They say slavery has been abolished except for the convicted felon 

You'll need to think about that 

That lets you know what the fuckin' constitution is really about, you know 

A lot of my homeboys have been locked down 

My whole entire career and that's some bullshit} 

{So for them from the Rhyme Syndicate and Ice-T, I'd like to send 

This special shout out, 'Fuck the police, fuck the F.B.I., fuck the D.E.A. Fuck the C.I.A., fuck Tipper Gore, Bush and his cripple bitch' 

This is Ice-T, I'm out of here, told you, you should've killed me last year}
