Made Men Lyrics

You wanna have a conversation

But get checked on the way in

Made Men

Murders happen and we say when

While we watch our babies in the playpen

Made Men

Politicians know we paying

You can see the law changing

Made Men

Global power what we chasing

Until we all see a great end

Made Men

Black frames

You can quit asking me names

'Cus I'm leaving just the way I came

It's all the same

Let the cop ramble about so on and so on

Remind me of the job interviews I used to go on

A white boy across the table telling me the protocol

We can't imagine business transactions with no dope involved

Pre-planned responses, don't know where none of 'em at

"And what do you know about-" Nigga, I have no knowledge of that

I don't know they names and don't recognize a face

I do not know the time and I'm bad with dates

You want niggas to do the cop work while you sit still

But black leaders be under ya'll surveillance when they get killed

The s*** real, I could show you how all of the s*** connects

They know who killed Kennedy, Pac, King, Malcolm X

You don't know what's coming next until you feel the effects

I not in the mood answer no more god damn questions, b****

You wanna have a conversation

But get checked on the way in

Made Men

Murders happen and we say when

While we watch our babies in the playpen

Made Men

Politicians know we paying

You can see the law changing

Made Men

Global power what we chasing

Until we all see a great end

Made Men

Calling shots

Civilians be calling cops

But it doesn't stop

They get thrown from the tops

Of the tenement buildings

Even if they got children

'Cus they was hindering what we was building

Yeah I got feelings but I block it out and justify it

If someone touch my family I would have to cause a riot

I know it's hypocritical, I'll admit I got vices

But that ain't worse than my co-defendants wearing devices

Loyalty is priceless

Point you finger at me m***** f***** self-righteous

But you need people like me to blame in the crisis

You can do anything, I've seen people fly

I always tell the truth, even when I lie

A meeting was set, you been so devoted

You either about to get buried or get promoted

Our younger days end

We was brave then

Never caved in

Now we made men

You wanna have a conversation

But get checked on the way in

Made Men

Murders happen and we say when

While we watch our babies in the playpen

Made Men

Politicians know we paying

You can see the law changing

Made Men

Global power what we chasing

Until we all see a great end

Made Men
