Runnin' Wild
(专辑: Turn Off The Radio: The Mixtape Vol. 3: Pulse Of The People - 2009)
[Mumia Abu-Jamal:] Inspiration that came from Black and Latino and young people. From the
ghettos of the
Bronx and Brooklyn and New York, you know what I'm sayin'? (Of course) That's power [stic.man:] Fuck the
police, can't wait to get from momma house Hopped off the
porch, old enough for some drama now Pistol in his pocket, barely strong enough to cock it But he ain't scared to pop it, got a
heart like Colossus Momma ain't home, daddy locked down Still his gold chain swing, pants sagged down He be clean, fresh Caesar New jeans, new sneakers Middle finger to his teachers, a
rebellious young genius Little Bobby Hutton, '09 version Ready to touch something No matter what Determined to make his life worth something Keeping it gangsta Cause the
young black male is in danger One slip out here, these crackas will hang you Only the
strong survive No choice, you gotta ride Young in age but your mind is wise Walking strong with a
King Tut strut in your stride Black pride and I'm young, hungry, born to survive Don't collide with him Ya, I
hear all that righteous shit you talking man, fuck that. I
gotta get out here and get this money, man. My daughter feet grow everyday. I'm broke out here. Ain't nobody giving me no jobs. I
gotta get it one way or another [Hook:] Little child, little child Running wild, running wild Little child, running wild Whoah, ya Hey, little child, little child Running wild Little child, running wild Whoah, hey [M1:] Growing up in this world today is not easy to do Either your choosing your path or your path will choose you Lil' Khazi got big shoes to fill for his fam' He's so young it's hard for him to understand That he's the
man of the
house He know the
time, his momma work overtime And his attitude (a milli, a
milli, is '09) Go to school just to battle MC's in the
cafeteria Fell asleep in third period to the
theory That the
president is black so he should try to be that Better yet, put a
gat on your back and go to Iraq But he already done chose a
side A
bonafide People Army soldier rolling for life Mind sharp as that switch blade knife in his back pocket Ain't no crack in his sock He got bigger dreams And even more than money counting He ready to move mountains The
future Kwame Nkrumah And he know it's a
dirty job but somebody gotta do it Shoot, you gotta feel me man. Not a
day goes by it ain't a
shootout. My gun is all I
got in these streets. I'm 'bout myself, and when I
need help, the
only thing I
can rely on is my gun game [Hook] [stic.man:] I
love to see the
homies cliqued up, fists up Khakis on, STAG bandana rag twist up Hood pride, unified G'd up, ride or die Street tribe Real soldiers don't die, we multiply [x2] [Hook] [Mumia Abu-Jamal:] You got people all around the
world nodding their heads to what people are saying. So when you're conscious of that, then ya know, you can do more than just say, "this is a
hustle", "I'm trying to make my bread" or "that broad got a
big ass". Come on. There's more important things in the
world. I
know you and stic do it everyday
