[Chorus: ASTRO E]
Cut the lights, He the light
Got pulled over, see the brights
What you doin' on the street at night?
Wonder if they’re gonna read your rights
Thirteenth Amendment, three strikes
Made a left when I should've made a right
Told God last time on life thats trife
[Verse: ASTRO E]
Now look what I did now, the cops behind us
Ran that red light, did I have to be mindless?
You should've seen that cop’s face it was so priceless
So I increased the speeds, at one-seventeen
Im over the alcohol limit at point nineteen
All becausе a black man in 91 is better off racing
I'm Rodney King
[Bridge: Lauryn Hill + (Nas)]
If-If-If I rulеd the world (Imagine that)
I'd free all my sons, I love 'em, love 'em, baby
Black diamonds and pearls
(Could it be, if you could be mine, we'd both shine?)
If I ruled the world
(Still living for today, in these last days and times)
[Chorus: ASTRO E]
Cut the lights, He the light
Got pulled over, see the brights
What you doin' on the street at night?
Wonder if they're gonna read your rights
Thirteenth Amendment, three strikes
Made a left when I should’ve made a right
Told God last time on life thats trife
[Verse 2: ASTRO E]
Days are shorter, nights are colder
Feeling like life is over
There’s people still hitting people round the border in every corner
There is a reason God made us different colors
Can't let the kids out because it will cause the trauma
If they gotta like a n***a, then call me Obama
I got a killer flow from the llama
I can always depend on my mama
[Verse 3: Nas + (ASTRO E)]
Paradise life, relaxin’
Black, Latino and Anglo-Saxon
(I know, I know, I know)
Armani Exchange, the Range
(I know, I know, I know)
Cash, Lost Tribe of Shabazz, free at last
(I know, I know, I know)
Brand new whips to crash, then we laugh in a iller path
(I know, I know, I know)
The Villa house is for the crew, how we do
(Ok, ok, ok)
Trees for breakfast, dime sexes and Benz stretches
(Alright, alright, alright)
So many years of depression make me vision
The better living
(Alright, alright, alright)
[Chorus: ASTRO E]
Cut the lights, He the light
Got pulled over, see the brights
What you doin' on the street at night?
Wonder if they're gonna read your rights
Thirteenth Amendment, three strikes
Made a left when I should've made a right
Told God last time on life thats trife
[Outro: ASTRO E]
We spend much of our hours
On the things that don’t matter
But we gotta get back to what really matters
Manifesting all the hate thats a bad thing
They say, looks can be deceiving like the icing on the cake
Well by the way, you can paint a picture in different ways
