Shirt is fed up with the nonsense going on in Ferguson as well as countless others. He takes the time to lay a verse over Lauryn Hill’s latest sketch and pays homage to Mike Brown.
Verse:
I’m sick
Down goes another innocent kid
I’m tired of this shit
Now I heard some people say ahhh he was big
Fuck that he was a kid
18 years old, when I was 18 lit
It could’ve been me, another brown boy hit
I was walking in the middle of the street the other day with my brother
Thank God we ain’t have to take cover
In a world filled with such violence
How sad that we fear when cop cars behind us
And we try and play it off but this fear live inside us
And then it divide us
Some people hands up don’t shoot
Some people like them pigs got guns we got guns too
Some wanna pray, some people like fuck all that praying do?
Up against more animals than a zoo
Mike Brown I ain’t know you but I feel like I did
Especially cause you rapped
And I swear my nigga if I live then you live
Though I can’t bring you back, damn
We gon push this thing forward
We getting stronger they don’t even know it
But I know we gon show it
With the whole world watching
This is my doctrine
Put dirty cops under the jail but this ain’t about them
I ain’t got beef with no watchmen
This for my people
The hate’s all see through
What’s it gonna lead to?
Follow Shirt.
