~#**************#~
[Refrain: Anderson Paak]
~#**************#~
These old sneakers, faded blue jeans, no tricks, no gimmicks
~#**************#~
I be stompin down-down-down-down-down demons
~#**************#~
Rollin up trees in the belly of the beast
~#**************#~
Where the people disagree
~#**************#~
The upper class eat, middle dont exist
~#**************#~
The bottom of the beat, glad I got my sticks
~#**************#~
Are you jumpin on a fad, layin in a ditch?
~#**************#~
I be stompin down demons, stompin down quick, come on
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Anderson Paak]
~#**************#~
And please dont come around these parts
~#**************#~
And tell me that we all a bunch of animals
~#**************#~
The only time they wanna turn the cameras on
~#**************#~
Is when were fuckin shit up, come on
~#**************#~
[Verse 1: Anderson Paak]
~#**************#~
Bullets still ringin, blood on the cement
~#**************#~
Black folks grievin, headlines readin
~#**************#~
Tryna pay it no mind, you just livin your life
~#**************#~
Everyone is a witness, everyone got opinions
~#**************#~
Got a son of my own, look him right in his eyes
~#**************#~
I aint livin in fear, but Im holdin him tight
~#**************#~
Got a son of my own, look him right in his eyes
~#**************#~
I aint livin in fear, but Im holdin him tight
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Dr. Dre]
~#**************#~
Damn, why the fuck are they after me? Maybe cause Im a bastard?
~#**************#~
Or maybe cause of the way my hair grow naturally?
~#**************#~
Still tryna figure out why the fuck Im full of rage
~#**************#~
I think I noticed this bullshit right around the fifth grade
~#**************#~
Paraphernalia in my locker right next to the switchblade
~#**************#~
Nothin but pussy on my mind and some plans of gettin paid
~#**************#~
But Im a product of the system, raised on government aid
~#**************#~
And I knew just how to react when it was time for that raid
~#**************#~
Just a young black man from Compton, wonderin, ‘who could save us?
~#**************#~
And could barely read the sentences the justice system gave us
~#**************#~
So many rental cars with bricks, I think they probably funded Avis
~#**************#~
Some of us was imbalanced but some us used our talents, shit
~#**************#~
Not all of us criminals but cops be yellin, “Stay back, nigga!”
~#**************#~
We need a little bit of payback (Payback!)
~#**************#~
Dont treat me like an animal cause all this shit is flammable
~#**************#~
Dont fuck around cause when its done, its done
~#**************#~
Fuck you!
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus: Anderson Paak]
~#**************#~
And the old folks tell me its been goin on since back in the day
~#**************#~
But that dont make it okay
~#**************#~
And them white folks tell me all the lootin and the shootins insane
~#**************#~
But you dont know our pain
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Anderson Paak]
~#**************#~
And please dont come around these parts
~#**************#~
And tell me that we all a bunch of animals
~#**************#~
The only time they wanna turn the cameras on
~#**************#~
Is when we fuckin shit up, come on
~#**************#~
And please dont come around these parts
~#**************#~
And tell me that were all a bunch of animals
~#**************#~
The only time they wanna turn the cameras on
~#**************#~
Is when were fuckin shit up, come on
~#**************#~
