CRAIG HODGES Lyrics

It's dangerous like Running with bulls

The lessons that I give you they don't come in the schools

Then I hit the gym and Shoot the lights out

In a dashiki at the White House

Like I'm Craig Hodges

Fist up

They don't like it when I'm honest... yea

Said I was dope, somebody thought I was trafficking

Put on a Kente cloth, They thought that I was African

Cats on my old block be like Random's back again

Cops pull me over I'm reminded that I'm black again

I used to take the long way to get to school

Risking my life avoid gangsters from different crews

Did every assignment in every textbook

Couldn't change a tire and couldn't balance a checkbook

They told me that college would be the best look

I Put the up numbers I'm disrespected like Westbrook

No matter how different the outfit

Or how many ways they try to flip it and bounce it

This country so divisive, throw stones then play victim

Tell you pointing out racism is racism

Guess there's always another layer

Like We wouldn't know George Floyd

If it weren't for Darnella Frazier

Even though we had the Proof

Just knew that they would find an excuse

But it hit different when it's truth so um

It's dangerous like Running with bulls

The lessons that I give you they don't come in the schools

Then I hit the gym and Shoot the lights out

Rock a dashiki in the White House

Like I'm

Craig Hodges

Fist up

They don't like it when I'm honest...

The stuff these dudes spit in a rhyme

It's like a, strategy guide to committing a crime

Cats Lack honor, then wonder why they attract drama

Cause now Black Trauma's a movie and rap genre

The country got hype over Biden

But now the White House is so silent, dog

Where is you hiding

If I get jammed up dragged out a show in some handcuffs,

I gotta wonder who gone stand up

I'm paranoid they gone come for me

Short Trial, Hung Jury

2020s is looking like the 40s

We made in God's image

So why is that so hard to envision

A tradition as old as white privilege

It's Poison like Mike Bivins

I make it my life's mission

To put you in position

Like goggles with Night vision

Rich folks is trying to make it to outer space

While my people trying not to get kicked out of their place

And not everything that's faced can be changed

But it's a fact nothing can be changed until it is faced, yeah

It's dangerous like running with bulls

The lessons that I give you they don't come in the schools

Then I hit the gym and Shoot the lights out

In a dashiki at the White House

Like I'm Craig Hodges

Fist up

They don't like it when I'm honest... yea

Then I hit the gym and Shoot the lights out

In a dashiki at the White House

Like I'm Craig Hodges
