[Killer Mike]
It be feelin like the life that I'm livin, man, off control
Every day I'm in a fight for my soul
Could it be that my medicine's the evidence for pigs
to stop and frisk me when they rollin round on patrol
And ask "Why you're here?," I just tell 'em cause it is what it is
I live here and that's what it is, he chimed "You got a dime?"
I said "Man I'm tryin to smoke and chill, please don't lock me up in front of my kids
 and in front of my wife, man I ain't got a gun or a knife
 You do this and you ruin my life
 And I apologize if it seems like I got out of line sir
 Cause I respect the badge and the gun  
 And I pray today ain't the day that you drag me away  
 Right in front of my beautiful son"
And he still put my hands in the cuffs, put me in the truck  
When my woman screamed said "Shut up!"  
Witness with the camera phone on
Saw the copper pull a gun and put it on my gorgeous queen  
As I peered out the window, I could see my other kinfolk
and hear my little boy as he screamed  
As he ran toward the copper, begged him not to hurt his momma  
cause he had her face down on the ground  
And I'd be much too weak to ever speak what I've seen  
But my life changed with that sound {*sirens*}

[Chorus: BOOTS]
Get out, get out, get out, get ouuut...
Feeling this, feeling this too early
Get out, get out, get out, get ouuut...
Feeling this way, feeling this way...
Feeling this, feeling this too early...
Feeling this, feeling this... early...

[El-P]
It be feelin like the life that I'm living, man, I don't control
cause every day I'm in a fight for my soul
All hands below, high seas in a rickety boat
Smoke Os'so the kid might cope  
You want cash or hope, no clash, matter fact get both
Go without, get turnt to ghosts
You know that's the law, deal done by the shake of claws
It ain't a game if the shit don't pause
And I find you odd, so convinced in the truth of y'all
that the true truth's truly gone  
And yes there's a they, any time a man say there's not
then you know that he lost the plot
What can I say? Truth's truth when denied or not
Like it's true crews ride the cock, fair enough
The way that the beat bump do sound tough
I made it in the dark like Civil War surgery
Woke up in the same air you huff, early
By twelve o'clock the whole earth felt dirty
Street lamps stare when you walk watch the birdy
They'll watch you walk to the store they're recording
But didn't record cop when he shot, no warning
heard it go pop must been two blocks
Heard a kid plus pops watched cop make girl bleed
Go to home, go to sleep, up again early

[Chorus]
