Tired of Being Stepped On

[D-Shot]

Mack D-Shot, brought up by the middle class

I did time for crime cuz I was living ass

I spent two on the lockdown in Preston

To hire me is way out the question

Jail cells for a black man's punishment

Didn't give a damn cuz the other man's runnin it

Now I'm back on the streets, I gotta compete so

But you can't beat no case

When you're trapped in the system

The government, want you to diss them

Now I'm back on the bed, where I once slept on

I'm tired of being stepped on

[B-Legit]

I ain't prejudiced, I gots nathan on the white man

I'm only down for my folks who is right and

so what's wrong with potnah with the gat on the job

He wanna squab cuz it seems I'm the mob

Pull you over, then he searchin your whole car

Fo' deep and you gotta be the rock star

"So where's the crack main? So where's the gats main?

You know you brothers, you call it a black thang"

I'm not in your hood, up to no-good-ism

So won't you go on with all the old racism

Unless you want me to take, the law in my own hands

Cuz dude, I'm a strong man

And that's a black man, tired of being stepped on

In the late night, always get crept on

By some authority who needs to really be fired

Cuz Legit is straight tired

Play Bay, back of hill and up there by Real

Twenty-two months of eatin that stuff on a shingle

Ninety days left, I'm almost out of jail

On a mission about my meal, to the hillside of Vallel

There I will sell, rocks so slick

Build up clientele, and hit the task hill

No other choice, I'm on parole I got a felony

I look for a job, but then they diss me, diss me

Man, my mother is disabled I ain't got no food on the table

All I can afford is noodles with the generic label

This goes on for about a week and a half

I need to think fast, I need some cash let me water my grass

and make it greener, then I started think of all types of

gimmicks and gadgets, as I looked through the cabinets

Man, what should I do my friend, hop in the game again?

I guess I'm headed for the pen
