Pipeline - Logic/Oddisee.mp3

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Amir Mohamed/Arjun Ivatury/Sir Robert Bryson Hall II
[00:10.573] Comin' from nothin', try to see tomorrow
[00:12.713] People feeling forced to steal 'cause they can't ask to borrow
[00:15.281] We come from families where Pops never stayed around
[00:17.864] Grew up on playgrounds where killers spray rounds
[00:20.167] Complexes with regular SWAT takedowns
[00:22.454] Streets covered in blood with cops who barely make rounds, that's why I write lines
[00:26.238] Automatics circulate the pipeline
[00:27.946] Lyricism that fight crime, follow the right signs
[00:30.805] How can a mother watchin' bullets rain watch her son shine?
[00:33.412] Most of us taught to shoot and steal run from one time
[00:36.143] A life in prison only take one crime, not one dime as we drop it
[00:39.855] This the mentality needs stopping
[00:41.545] It don't start at the home, it start in the street
[00:43.706] Systemic redlining on which side gon' eat
[00:45.960] If you had to shoot and steal just to get your next meal, you probably will
[00:49.452] That's how the people where I'm from feel
[00:51.324] All we know is what we know, they done fed us a pill
[00:53.664] But when it comes to bullets on our block, we must appeal
[00:56.322] They make us pick a side, no one to confide
[00:58.407] When we young, they tell us we could be whatever, but they lied
[01:00.928] People killin' over sex, drugs, money, women, and pride
[01:03.841] This doesn't stop with the pipeline, it starts with the right time
[01:06.443] To open up these young minds and system
[01:08.450] Callin' community politicians to take people from beneath and put 'em in higher positions
[01:12.780] This is your job to keep more alive
[01:14.598] That's why I put the gat down and never glorify
[01:17.123] Things that leave most families mortified, it starts at the bottom
[01:19.965] Change the young man's mind and you got 'em
[01:21.943] Don't just lock 'em up after you caught 'em, go and teach 'em to fish
[01:25.098] If you won't do it, I'ma do it, I'ma reach 'em with this
[01:27.635] I've been there, I seen drugs in the crib
[01:29.543] Robbers and killers, cook crack at twelve years old
[01:32.042] All the bullshit they instill us
[01:33.537] Feel like all you know is all you got, but it's not
[01:35.801] You are so much more than selling someone else's dope from the shore
[01:39.041] With a promise that you'll never be poor, nothing but lies, homie
[01:42.041] Put the gun down and rise, homie
[01:44.029] If you seen the shit I did when I was young, you wouldn't know me
[01:46.647] What I'm saying is ain't no one perfect
[01:48.567] System is crooked, that's why you work
[01:50.518] Sell a key and buy a house, chop a brick and get a grip
[01:53.162] Man, that shit, it make me sick, it's like a blind man I'm trying to teach
[01:56.380] But you better learn the language if you trying to reach
[01:58.944] Too many people on the news, they just trying to preach
[02:01.524] But they don't know 'bout what go down, homie
[02:03.287] Put the gun down, homie, put the gun down
[02:04.549] Put 'em down and get up, put 'em down and get up
[02:07.243] This is motivator for the people that been fed up
[02:09.883] Put 'em down and get up, put 'em down and get up
[02:12.482] This is motivator for the people that never let up
[02:15.093] Put 'em down and get up, put 'em down and get up
[02:17.694] This is motivator for the people that been fed up
[02:20.346] Put 'em down and get up, put 'em down and get up
[02:22.907] This is motivator for the people that never let up
[02:26.318] Reasons to live and reasons to kill
[02:28.184] A fine line between alive and hope you leaving a will
[02:30.789] So many lives paid the cost, we keep receipts in field
[02:33.414] But still congress got no need for a bill
[02:35.582] No traces, no faces, but the money is hard to hide
[02:38.364] Stock prices rise at the rate of mother's cry
[02:41.011] Hard to let it slide when they slid, you want to ride
[02:43.580] To live another day, you exist, but something died
[02:46.127] My innocence was lost when I witnessed a brother lie
[02:48.766] In front the house, his father bought escaping the call of crime
[02:51.409] You can't outrun a bullet, they don't wait at the border line
[02:53.960] The county ain't no different, come to safety, we all deprived
[02:56.649] Hagerstown to Waldorf, switches to sawed-off
[02:59.161] The clip come with extensions, be more, but we all short
[03:01.782] Let's all apply pressure on the state laws, don't let up
[03:04.710] We all rise till the legislation's signed, get up
[03:07.341] Put 'em down and get up, put 'em down and get up
[03:09.866] This is motivator for the people that been fed up
[03:12.521] Put 'em down and get up, put 'em down and get up
[03:15.151] This is motivator for the people that never let up
[03:17.725] Put 'em down and get up, put 'em down and get up
[03:20.323] This is motivator for the people that been fed up
[03:22.943] Put 'em down and get up, put 'em down and get up
[03:25.555] This is motivator for the people that never let up
