Lyrics No Sticks - PipeDream

Cops is fucking deading us
Street sweeping - spreading us
Black kids is sweating
The new world infecting us

These cats is murderous
Claws deep - they're hurting us
Permanently murking us
Lurking with the worst of us

But I'm a dog, son
All of us; we're all some
Fang gnashing, face smashing
Niggas - this is all done

You lose - you're all done
Screws loose - they all run
Y'all lost the battle & the war
What you want, huh

Starve off - you're finished
It's our turf - admit it
You popped your eyes through
And ate all our spinach

A gut punch to quit it
You look sick - now isn't it
So fucked up how you can't breathe
Man, forget it

This to Treyvon
This for Mike B
From Ferguson to Watts
To all of D.C

So, before we take the streets back, today
Watch us do our motherfucking thing

Cold world without checks
No sleeping; no rest
Locked up for five decks
Hive-minded - I'm next

No time to stress
Just create & progress
My head is off-neck
Jaw bones & all flesh

My heart is fast paced
My eyes - they dilate
My chest is encased with weight
Make it cave

No way to hide away
They spray their AKs
No Love in this place
Deep Web - it ain't safe

And they're all like
Do as you're told by your nation
Your pops ain't around; a lifetime vacation
Stand at attention; you look me in the face
And you stand for that flag
Don't test my damn patience

Fuck that
Raise some Hell & take back
These town these clowns
Have claimed on their tax

This house is our home
And that's what they lack
These baseball bats
Ain't no novelty, Jack

I'm over this; I'm done with this shit
I've never felt so much dissonance
I'm sprawling out - I'm Hype & Mellow
It's so suffocating - bite the pillow, bitch

Strike the match & pass the torch to me
My clothes are soaked in petrol - gasoline
Dripping fuel from my head to my feet
Light me up with African defeat

I'm over this; I'm done with this shit
I've never felt so much dissonance
I'm sprawling out - I'm Hype & Mellow
It's so suffocating - bite the pillow, bitch

Strike the match & pass the torch to me
My clothes are soaked in petrol - gasoline
Dripping fuel from my head to my feet
Light me up with African defeat
