"Villains" lyrics

"Villains"

What's it like to not raise the alarm
Stepping foot in the building
Been throwing hands for that feeling
Part of a pattern, since we were children
Always ending up as the villain
Criminal, gangsta
Hoodrat, nigga
Said it like it's part of our fate
So guess that's the shit we became
Flipping our government names (2E)
One eight seven the grades
The family, who dat? the gang
Them to relate, put respect on our rage
Fueled, used it and channeled it
Had a problem, showed up and settled it
Together in detriment, fighting for justice
Till the end of our days

Police hiding their face
While they put us in jail
Trying to paint us as villains
Whatever it takes
Trying to paint us as radical
Switch up the narrative
'Cause violence is legal
When it's in the name of the state

And now I know what I know
There's no way back I'm on go
Can't stop us now
Can't stop us now
And now I know what I know
There's no way back I'm on go
Can't stop us now
Can't stop us now

Aye, oh
Aye, oh
Aye, oh
Can't stop us now
Aye, oh
Aye, oh
Aye, oh
Can't stop us now

You done got the whole block drumming
Trust, even got the closed ones fronting
Speaking up exposing your antics
And your only answer was cuff 'em
It's clear that you ain't know how to run shit
Whenever you're chatting it's stunning
How out of touch you is
From the people that put you in function

Why? why they did it?
You scammed them, selling them promises
With your suit and tie, selling the illusion
You're the good guy in the congresses
With the keys to their problems
Sending out rockets
Meanwhile deep in our pockets
Drinking that beer
Swimming in your pool
We ain't having it
We coming for you and your cabinet

Police hiding their face
While they put us in jail
Trying to paint us as villains
Whatever it takes
Trying to paint us as radical
Switch up the narrative
'Cause violence is legal
When it's in the name of the state

And now I know what I know
There's no way back I'm on go
Can't stop us now
Can't stop us now
And now I know what I know
There's no way back I'm on go
Can't stop us now
Can't stop us now

Aye, oh
Aye, oh
Aye, oh
Can't stop us now
Aye, oh
Aye, oh
Aye, oh
Can't stop us now
