Ice-T: Escape from the killing fields

Here we go I'm movin' off death row Ya gotta keep up hops Ya can't be slow Cuse their towers are high They got the hype gaats Check the perimeters good Read the maps It's night They might not see us Cuse if they catch us out there They'll bleed us Shoot us, kill us Dump us in a dark ditch Clean it up, call it a gang hit I gotta make my move Cause I'm a renegade I recognize when mind techniques Are being played It's a plot they use To keep down another Here comes another Brainwashed brother Shut up do you know How dumb you sound? That mentality What keeps my people down No one wants to Live in an urban war You live there cause Your parents were poor They live there because Theirs were also Get yourself together Hit the gates bro! CHORUS Ya gotta get out! Ya gotta get out! Why? Ya gotta get out! Ya gotta get out! Why? Ya gotta get out! Ya gotta get out! Why? Cause the fields Are where you die! Escape from The killing fields You try to keep us Running and running faster But I ain't runnin' from ya I'm runnin' at ya and my posse's thick About a mil strong Too late to make up now Cause it's on I'm the one that's got ya In constant fear I'm the nigga You shoulda killed last yeaar But you played yourself You let me gain wealth Now I can change the wy The cards are dealt I've schooled my homeboys Made 'em all understand The tricks nd twists Inflicted on the Black man How ya make me think to be down I gotta stay around Down in the motherfuckin' Battleground There'll never be any good Schools in the hood There'll never be any cops That are any good The hospital is a great place To go to die Real estate's cheap Let me tell ya why? The man's got a Sure fire system A economic prison! CHORUS Escape from The killing fields!
