Scott la Rock Lyrics

I do this for mankind and Hip Hop

Story we heard a million times, Scott La Rock

Hoping I can see my dreams fulfilled, but if not

Don't shoot me down for trynna bring peace, Scott La Rock

When things get hard, hard as a rock

Things get hard sometimes, hard as a rock

Vicious cycle on the verge of having it all, then you drop

Don't shoot me down I'm trynna bring peace, Scott La Rock

When things get hard, hard as a rock

Things get hard sometimes, hard as a rock

Vicious cycle on the verge of having it all, then you drop

Don't shoot me down I'm trynna bring peace, Scott La Rock

It was 1987, call’s 187

Shot range out from project buildings never found the weapon

The devil's outside and he's blocking all my blessings

Them people show up asking, we're deflecting all the questions

It’s not just Scott, why

Happens on every block, try

Understand my perspective, cuz our memory's selective

How we go from being protected

To needing protection from the protection

Now we flipping scriptures formed against me prosper by the weapon

We destroy our own community, then act like we’re about unity

Then tell on the ones we grew up with, in seek of our own impunity

Nigga we sick, seek immunity

But we don’t own shit, we lease our own community

Want the police to quit but can’t police your own community

We losing Gods

Instead of shooting for the star, we shot the stars

I got the words that will move gangs, I’m warning y’all

I bet they’ll drop a boom on the hood if they move to mars

I do this for mankind and Hip Hop

Story we heard a million times, Scott La Rock

Hoping I can see my dreams fulfilled, but if not

Don't shoot me down for trynna bring peace, Scott La Rock

When things get hard, hard as a rock

Things get hard sometimes, hard as a rock

Vicious cycle on the verge of having it all, then you drop

Don't shoot me down I'm trynna bring peace, Scott La Rock

I got a feeling that my people in trouble, who got shot?

I heard they killed Nipsey Hussle, in front his shop

The marathon will continue, it will not stop

But all he wanted was to make a change, Scott La Rock

Niggas killed Stack Bundles, out of hate

And set the whole Far Rock back, it's a disgrace

Cuz she was born in Kingston but that's where my moms was raised

Still feel it in my heart, broken, to this day

So now I’m Stack Bundles Queens fly, stack my bundles Queens high

Stack my bundles for Stack Bundle's legacy, what you mean why

Harlem took an L when Big L died, it’s the same slaves

Death, murder over, whips and chains, I feel disdain

And I haven’t been the same since Young Teddy was slain

Cuz I’ve never met his son but feel the young-yins pain

The men who killed Malcolm X issued apologies

How we glorify Malcolm X but live in hypocrisy

I do this for mankind and Hip Hop

Story we heard a million times, Scott La Rock

Hoping I can see my dreams fulfilled, but if not

Don't shoot me down for trynna bring peace, Scott La Rock

When things get hard, hard as a rock

Things get hard sometimes, hard as a rock

Vicious cycle on the verge of having it all, then you drop

Don't shoot me down I'm trynna bring peace, Scott La Rock

It's like a womb that won't stop bleeding boy

We kill our own profits nigga that's treason boy

It's like a womb that won't stop bleeding boy

We kill our own profits nigga that's treason boy
