Black Man [explicit] Lyrics - T.i.

Black man, drop top 

There go the cops 

There go the cops 

There go the cops 

Is it because of my people? 

Is it because of my sneakers? 

Is it because of my jersey? 

It is because that I'm perfect? 

Ridin' down 85, three in the morning 

Why you pull me over sayin' you smell marijuana? (Smellin' the gas) 

I said I got a ID, I got glaucoma (I got ID) 

He said, "We ain't in Cali nigga, get out, put your hands up" 

Runnin' real hard shook the taser (shook the taser) 

Runnin' real hard shook the taser (shook the taser) 

I told him can we split it, we gon' shake 'em 

Nigga hit my phone when you made it (brrp) 

Out of here, PJ to Jamaica 

Naw I ain't tell ya wrong, get the paper 

Been fightin' too long against haters 

My attitude, yeah I'm going for the shaders

Songs That Will Make You Cry Uncontrollably 

HOT SONG: Lil Nas X - 'Panini' - LYRICS 

POPULAR SONG: Post Malone - 'Circles' - LYRICS 

Live from the cracks of the concrete 

12 try to take a nigga off the street 

Make the gun sound now for Mike Brown 

Take a nigga life when you face down 

Hoodie gang strong like Trayvon 

Gun by the window like Detroit Red 

Bring that shit by the neck of my woods 

And bet a nigga ass end up dead 

Pig in a blanket, fuck was you thinkin'? 

Free that nigga Boosie, runnin' at the police 

Left him with a slow leak, right outside VC 

Tryna keep a Phantom like DC 

Hangout the G like free Meek 

Kill a nigga reachin' for a cell phone 

Hurt to tell his mama he ain't comin' home 

That's why I stay strapped all summer long 

And you know it 

Black man, drop top 

There go the cops 

There go the cops 

There go the cops 

Is it because of my people? 

Is it because of my sneakers? 

Is it because of my jersey? 

It is because that you nervous? (damn) 

Black man 

Running from the law like Pac-Man 

Try and throw the raw all in the trash can 

Got smoked by a cop on the dash cam 

Mug shot on the news, he a mad man 

When all he did was hustle to run the cash in 

He feedin' kids in jail if he wasn't crackin' 

Too many felonies on my jacket 

All of my brothers turn to assassins 

We seen too many brothers get put in caskets 

Too many young baby mothers and baby daddies 

In the graveyard back then 

I went from sittin' on clubs to the cashmere 

You shoulda seen how I flossed on 'em last year 

Two Maybachs and I had a bad year 

Young nigga countin' money like a cashier 

White man wanna pay me like I'm U-N-O 

Niggas wanna see me at my funeral 

Neither of my own homie wanna do me though 

Layin' on my dog crib like I'm Snoopy though 

That's my nigga, I ain't even wanna do it though 

If I don't do it, shit I know he gon' do me though 

Cause he broke and he trippin' 'bout stupid hoes 

But I'mma die just like motherfuckin' Julio 

Black man 

Black man, drop top 

There go the cops 

There go the cops 

There go the cops 

Is it because of my people? 

Is it because of my sneakers? 

Is it because of my jersey? 

It is because that I'm perfect? 

Police see I got my hands up 

Still wanna kill me, they don't understand us 

They be lookin' for a reason just to shoot me 

And wanna do me how they do us in the movies 

Or how they do it out in Baton Rouge 

Or Ferguson, or Florida, or Baltimore, they make excuses 

Like I did cause I thought he had a pistol 

Or I did it cause I thought he was a Muslim 

My message to America, felon or death here 

The liquor we die, we just substances left here 

First you put us in a small hood 

And then you beat us and you treat us like it's all good 

And then shoot us and you screw us economically, mentally 

Killin' nigga, no penalty, they can do that shit legally 

Bet I can make that ass think 'fore you shoot 

You kill me, man there gon' be more of some riotin' and lootin' 

We say black lives matter, you say all lives 

But y'all ain't the ones gettin' hogtied 

Persecuted, executed, one day it gon' be time for retribution 

Hope you don't ever see your son in an institution 

I know karma is constant and God ain't no nonsense 

You doin' wrong just to run shit 

One day the time gon' run out for the dumb shit 

Ain't no deception, tryna get in Heaven 

You gettin' nailed, bet it's on your Mary 

And you know what you did for who how much you really care 

And what you really felt, he gon' deny the opportunity to unify 

With people who look similar to you and I 

Cause he don't wanna have a 

Black man, drop top 

There go the cops 

There go the cops 

There go the cops 

Is it because of my people? 

Is it because of my sneakers? 

Is it because of my jersey? 

It is because that I'm perfect? 

Black man, drop top 

There go the cops 

There go the cops 

There go the cops 

Is it because of my people? 

Is it because of my sneakers? 

Is it because of my jersey? 

It is because that I'm perfect?
