[Chorus: T.I.]
Can't you see we livin in a war zone?
Guess you don't notice when you livin in it (damn)
Like e'ry weekend it's a man down
Ain't got no pity for the innocent so I'ma represent it
Dedicated, tell 'em "Hands, up, can't, breathe
Hands, up, can't, breathe
Hands, up, can't, breathe"
Hands, up; can't you see we livin in a war zone?

[T.I.]
They left his body swangin down Piedmont
At a Klan rally day before, but that ain't mean nothin
What they say is suicide, I say it's genocide
Hey what you got a gun for? Boy you ain't finna ride
They run up on you like Baton Rouge, bet you finna hide
That's the difference 'tween us, I'll die to save a million lives
Appointed leader when nobody couldn't think of shit
I'll be a martyr if my great granddaughter benefit
They pull you over, ask you where your license at
Be careful reachin for it, you know you could die for that
And this ain't nothin new, just got cameras so you could see the shit
Got Dr. King and Abe Lincoln askin "Where the freedom at?"
This ain't no equality
Man you ain't have no justice on yo' mind when you shot at me
But fuck it, this the way it gotta be
Hey listen, you won't shoot at them then shoot at me? Boy you are not a G
Imagine Trayvon askin "Why you follow me?"
Feel threatened, hit him and whip him, that's when he shot him down
Do that to a grown fuckin man, drop you where you stand
Tell my grandma go on with all that prayin
If it's a God and he in the sky, he lookin down, he understand
I'm just a man, and I'm wrong for revenge
But I don't get 'em, it's like tellin him to gon' kill again
Keep fuckin 'round, it's gon' be on in a minute

[Chorus] - first line "Boy we livin in a war zone!"

[T.I.]
This goes to the white boy, that ran in the old church
I hope you get slow murked, and they torture you slow first
Ran in our place of worship to slaughter our grandma
Won't go kamikaze for that, well what would you die for?
Hold up, I'll wait (I'll wait)
Heard it from buddy who took the fall for Watergate
The war on drugs, was just a war on us
Give us all these guns, give us all this dust
Change all them laws, lock all of us up
Went from Freeway Ricky, on to BMF (free Meech)
And then hip-hop came, that's when we got rich
Cause white kids gravitated to it like all us did
And that's when they got slick, invented the technology
to take our shit, diluted all of the artistry
Pardon me, somebody tell me what happened to Alton Sterling
Killed Philando right in front of the girl and
the world saw, e'rybody reaction was "Hell naw"
This modern day slavery, the prison publicly traded
And the jig's up, the Constitution and Emancipation Proclamation's
just a fuckin piece of paper

[Chorus]

[Outro]
"Man down!" {*3X*}
