ICPTSD - Propaganda

Who are you to judge us?

You don’t live among us

You know what shooting kites is?

You should keep your mouth shut

Guerillas wildin', racial profilin'

Sometimes the biggest fight is to not prove y’all right and

How do you know what’s right?

And your code of conduct please

Monopoly’s a corporate greed and got the nerve to call us thieves

Yeah, we’re not so different

Your product is just as addictive and y’all just wanna fit in

You’re longing a sense of belonging

The broken seeds of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs

The need to be needed and we ain’t so different at one point

Every boy just wanna be like his daddy at some point

He was Hercules, a mystery, an absentee at one point

We all saw the city was doing the fathering and I’ma be just like that

Bleed blue and breathe smog, run the numbers

These are our best odds, inner city PTS

Kinda like a war vet, 'cept the P stands for present

Who are you to judge us?

You don’t live among us

You know what shooting kites is?

You should keep your mouth shut

You get jumped for your Jumpmans

And walk the same streets tomorrow

That’s the best way to get to school, got shoes I could borrow?

Jon Perez tio put him over in the flats

Let his cousin break his jaw, then went and got matching tats

These are rites of passage, inner city bar mitzvahs

You’re officially a man which means

You’re expected by any and all means

To respect the clan you came from and put first your team

I know you understand this

The code exists on every college campus

We ain’t so different, you just like me

'Cept y’all call 'em fraternities

Who are you to judge us?

You don’t live among us

You know what shooting kites is?

You should keep your mouth shut
