Before the Streets Lock Down

This America-This America-This America exists no more as

We know it. If you notice when he makes speeches, there

Is no more Presidential Seal behind him. Which means we

In muthafuckin' martial law and there are no elections

All my neighbors out of work

Rent due, saying "fuck it" on the first

Pockets hurt, it's about to get worse

Feeling like a curse or a plague

Get a hospital bed in the end

Wonder what it's all worth

I heard you need a ventilator

Don't worry, you'll be fine, you gon' get it later

Ticking time bomb, I'm the detonator

Dictator, mow you down like the Terminator

Yeah, common denominator, annihilator

I could cap a Q on a Phi Beta

Ain't no switching or changing your mind, hater

Y'all niggas is pussy, you need a vibrator

You better stop it like brake pads

Bunch of hand sanitizer and a face mask

Standing six feet apart, never shake hands

Quarantine, taking kids out of class

Take a bunch of toilet paper, 'bout to save your ass

Now you take that shit off your face, it's pointless. Because you

See this? This is- this is the largest organ on your body, the skin

So you just coverin' up your face? Shit don't make sense, y'all

Hit 'em with a little bit of truth this year

I'ma keep it dirty 'til it's crystal clear

Listen here, my nigga

My heart's in my chest in a bulletproof vest

And it don't pump fear

Never scared of America, lockdown, we're

Used to being on lockdown with stocks down

And no mom and pops 'round

That hot sound of lead flyin' at ya

I'm in my element, nigga, I'm doin' fine

Catch a motherfucker creeping, I'ma kill him on my property

Nan' one of you motherfuckers is stopping me

I'm a serial killer, so I'm killing 'em properly

Irresponsibly, honestly, constantly

We can all use some relief and release for a while

'Fore the food dry up and the police lock down

Down, down, down, down, down

Before the streets lock down

Oh, you in Hollywood? Ain't no- why you think they got- they

All at home now? Ain't no more Hollywood, bruh. Ain't no more

Hollywood. Motherfuckers in Lansing, Michigan with rifles

And double shot-off shotguns. They ain't goin' home, they ain't

Stayin' home. You know why they wanna keep you in the house

Living the dream and maybe you know what I mean

Life is getting the cream

Maybe you don't need a thing

Give me the ring that got you feeling like a king

When they take it away, what you're feeling is a sting

Who would've thought a lot about it? Tomorrow locked down

'Nother depression, pandemic bringing the block down

Unemployment at an all-time high

Pharmaceuticals making a killing, watching us die

Forty-five telling us lies, media wars on the rise

You don't know who to trust, you just wanna go outside

Put your mask on like a bandit, understand it

It goes down like they planned it

Damned if I don't get up now and I don't say something

Media talking but they don't say nothing

One attacking the other to break news

People deny it and call it fake news
