0:01The cops used to come around in my neighborhood
0:02"Alright, you kids, stop having so much fun, move along!"
0:04Oh they'd arrest me, you know, especially at night
0:06They had a curfew, niggas had to be home at 11, negros, 12
0:09And you'd be trying to get home, doing your crew runs
0:13And they'd always catch you out in front of a store or something
0:16'Cause you'd be taking shortcuts, right
0:17Cops, "Ree, put your hands up, black boy!"

1:07White kids are brought in alive
