That what they tell us, we act
Like monkeys, we can't react
Cause cops gon blow our top back
Make it so hard to be black
Make it so hard to keep tact
Its hard to win with big facts
Now my screen is pitch black
Cops here have discreet packs
Where they target projects
And blacks who making progress
You cannot bring up congress
Cause money looking Payless
So you try and take steps
And you pray for the best, the best
Bam, you hearing no sounds
Cause you took a whole round
Cause a dime that he found
And all the cops just rebound
Putting dogs in the pound
Until we out here put down, put down
That what they tell us, we act
Like monkeys, we can't react
Cause cops gon blow our top back
Make it so hard to be black
Make it so hard to keep tact
Its hard to win with big facts
Now my screen is pitch black
Crack so we can stay cracked
So we can always turn back
To owners and our slave packs
And they just try to hide that
They send in guys to hijack
Our lives cause they high tech
Spray us till we all wet, all wet
Back home where I live to believe
That all dollars ain't coming from a tree
Hard to deceive a nigga who been there
Done wrestled bears in a trap, we there
In a trap where we trap just to get along, get by
Re-up on supplies and hope to survive this life
But there ain't no unity in this world
Cause they strike us blind all the time
That what they tell us, we act
Like monkeys, we can't react
Cause cops gon blow our top back
Make it so hard to be black
Make it so hard to keep tact
Its hard to win with big facts
Now my screen is pitch black
