them days, them episodes.
If you know about where I'm from,
you've sat at the back of a squad car
if you're living not far from a hood,
you've been chased by a squad car.
Odds are, if you're living
you've been chased by a squad car
And every place in my city
make it seem like I'm guilty in
this treatment deemed necessary
since I was a child chillin' innocent
Yet authorities didn't notice it,
think I'm smokin' it and locin' up
So they stick me in the back
And I'm off to the holdin' tank,
but didn't think I was employed
Doesn't fit the stereotype
And so I'm not far from the edge
And even though they push
They just gon' make it look
like I've been a criminal
Since I took my very first step
is I was never given chance
Livin' for a glance of a better life
But you know it's never in sight
I, I've been a benefactor
Dad had to be leavin' mad
So they say, but if you go they way
You just gon' keep your lower wage
And I was at my grow -up age
when he started his own shop
so he figured he'd smoke pot
But odds are, when that happens,
you is not far from graduat
And that's exactly what happened,
Along with the house and home
and spouse and grown kids
for the drugs we out of pops
Was an only option to watch,
Story told, had to fold cards
why I'm not far from a hood
gettin' chased by a squad car?
if you livin' not far from a hood,
you've been chased by a squad car
Odds are, if you livin' not
you've been chased by a squad car
Odds are, if you livin' not
you've been chased by a squad car
Odds are, if you livin' not
you've been chased by a squad car
with beats locked on bangin'
Just waitin' for the lights
Not knowin' where they are,
but I'm knowin' they ain't far
And it's not hard to tell,
The game really isn't fair,
and I swear even if I try hard
They still gon' blow me up,
still gon' hold me up, slow me up
Askin' me to throw it up,
I tell em' I ain't bringin'
They ask me where I keep my stash,
I tell em' I ain't tryin'
And why'd you pull me over anyway?
They said what you'd expect
That I fit the description
Watch them search my ride
Not afraid of what they'll find
But of what they might plant inside
I ain't got nothing to hide
If you let your pride react
If I practice on restraint
There's a method to they madness
And I can't hurt my status
So I paint a smile on my face
Ain't got no time to waste
Ain't tryin' to catch a case
Can't fully place my words
Tryin' not to speak in haste
instead I'm left with deep scars
And the power to back it up
because he drives a squad car
Odds are, if you live in Nottfall
From the hood you've been chased
From the hood you've been chased
From the hood you've been chased
From the hood you've been chased
