protocol - k.a.a.n. lyrics
[intro]
uh huh, lawd, knowledge, n-gga, uh huh
[hook]
keep ya eyes open (open)
n-ggas been postin’ (postin’)
read the f-ckin’ notice (hopeless)
we don’t know what hope is (hope is)
won’t somebody help us (help us)
now the world is selfish (selfish)
don’t know where we’re headed
i hope the lord can hear this
[verse 1]
6:40 a.m. alarm was set for 7 though
arise it’s time to face the world
correct the blinds the sun will shine
woke up by the faintest cry
consoles his daughter, ease her mind
rocks his baby back to sleep
then go prepare a meal to eat
feed the fam and conversate
it’s safe to say this man is blessed
the crest upon his chest
is a badge to serve and protect
the less, unless you got some melanin
well, then it don’t apply to you
he out the door and on the move
to make this world a safer place
squad car with a complex
reports filed outta context
got a trigger finger and you know it’s itchin’
k!ll an innocent n-gga the only mission
hit ’em with a bullet but it’s like a missile
take ’em down but you don’t give a f-ck about ’em
had his hands out but he looked confused
hit ’em in the back that’s if he try to move
lawd, he asks is partner “are there any decent n-ggas?”
“nah, they all a bunch of animals, lazy and irresponsible
check this one right here, he look suspicious don’t he?
he keeps eyein’ me, i’m about to f-ck his day up
just watch me work”
[hook]
keep ya eyes open (open)
n-ggas been postin’ (postin’)
read the f-ckin’ notice (hopeless)
we don’t know what hope is (hope is)
won’t somebody help us (help us)
now the world is selfish (selfish)
don’t know where we’re headed
i hope the lord can hear this
[verse 2]
6:40 a.m. he has to stay an hour late
the overnight shift, so by 7:40 he on his way
the pay is a minimum wage but it beats the alternative
see he 2 charges deep tryin’ to avoid the 3rd
provide for 4 kids, if cops har-ss then he pleadin’ the 5th
his last charge was an -ssault plus he resisted arrest
they judge him off appearance alone like it speaks for himself
but he just tryna make it home to walk his kids to the bus-stop
he rushed to run across the street then seen the lights flash
an altercation soon ensues from -ssumed guilt, no innocence
fishin’ for sufficient evidence to charge him
“i need to see your i.d. can you just relax for me please
we had an incident and you fit the description
of the -ssailant that we’re searchin’ for
for crimes committed, it’s only gonna take a minute
chill on the curb while i run your i.d. and check for priors”
he says “i’m innocent” they think he’s lyin’
his alibi doesn’t blend with their bias
they ain’t gon’ buy it, the temperature is risin’
cooler heads cannot prevail through this
words exchanged before he blinks
a flashlight where his eyelid is
they yell “he’s got a gun!” and them put some bullets inside of him
[hook]
keep ya eyes open (open)
n-ggas been postin’ (postin’)
read the f-ckin’ notice (hopeless)
we don’t know what hope is (hope is)
won’t somebody help us (help us)
now the world is selfish (selfish)
don’t know where we’re headed
i hope the lord can hear this
