Būnduke - 3 STRIKES Lyrics

I was on my honor roll trying to get a pot of gold
Dodging bullet holes from where they kill you for designer clothes
Leave this city I don't know where exactly I'm a go
Maybe college, take a loan that's what they want I'll play along
I don't even stunt that 'cause I'm from where if you got a chance
They tell you run away and never ever come back
If you stay they might catch you slipping and make you run that
You'll get caught up in the life just trying to get your funds back
Do that sound like something that you want to be a part of
People's sons and daughters is out here getting slaughtered
Ironic cause as kids we was brought up playing cops and robbers
And if you was robbing you getting shot up
Damn it's crazy how we get brainwashed
We got rights but they acting like it ain't ours
400 years we still fighting for same cause
When it's said and done I bet they running back these same bars
So much been running on my mind
But I know that God's on my side
And these devils calling on my line
I keep it on me when I walk outside
Strike one they gon' come for the breath up in your lungs
Strike two ain't no love when they coming after you
Strike three if you looking like me up in these streets
Only thing that's guaranteed you more likely to catch heat
Strike one if they come should I stay should I run
Strike two if they shoot ain't no way I'll play it cool
Strike three I'm busting back if they coming after me
Only way I'm going out is flowing over these beats nigga
2020 gave me a whole new vision I go through spitting
Something just to show you different
It's still Black Live Matter cause that Soul food hitting
No matter what we go through living I told you niggas
That we chosen ones
That's why we shedding blood like God only son
Needed protection on the block my partner loaned me some
Cops still hunting us down like we owe them some
Kill us on camera with a smoking gun
And then they quiet 'bout it
And the only way they listen when we riot 'bout it
And for my friends that's been silent 'bout it
Standing by as I'm wildin' bout it
Refusing to call it out like how the hell you ain't accounted by it
We in a nation that's been murdering since foundation
You 'posed to be protesting with me without no hesitation
I just hope your mind is elevating Imma be here demonstrating
All about that action I ain't never waiting
So much been running on my mind
But I know that God's on my side
And these devils calling on my line
I keep it on me when I walk outside
Strike one they gon' come for the breath up in your lungs
Strike two ain't no love when they coming after you
Strike three if you looking like me up in these streets
Only thing that's guaranteed you more likely to catch heat
Strike one if they come should I stay should I run
Strike two if they shoot ain't no way I'll play it cool
Strike three I'm busting back if they coming after me
Only way I'm going out is flowing over these beats nigga
