live free

drinking pot and having sex
smoking beers
the times that I miss best

slinging pot and drinking
seemed like the cool thing
so we sold whole z's and quarters
like I was a mob supporter
but those poor s-o-b's couldn't bust me
my homies would cause some serious disorder
so I became a furniture importer
and licked stamps on the side
to provide for more liqour from the store
never had to hide
cops slid right past
and not one person had to die

you other gangsters don't know what you're missing
when destruction's your only mission
take a break from ghetto livin
you make more
if you're not in prison
all it takes is a part-time position
get a front, then get in business
forget the bullet-proof partitions

drop the gun and get with this shit
only dipshits pop a cap
when they spitin' somethin' out that they can't retract
only pussies pull pistols
and they're always going back

live free, motherfucker
you may live to see another day
bust caps like a stupid motherfucker
and you'll be gone before your hair turns gray

your real enemies
are the racist government and crooked cops
not the kids and women in the neighborhood
or the phoney asshole on your block

blow up on crooked cops
and plug a nugget in their muzzle
cuzzle nuzzle buzzles more
than an example
show the roll
the pike's revolving
serving swine with dinner rolls
the toll of no patrols
false repose of control

moles know solving problems begins
with massacres of protest
bombing citizens by lulling them with advertisements
surmizin' the thousandth time has come and went
that the government
became apparently
insane and violent
this isn't heaven sent
this is madness

your ignorance will kill us all
democracy designed to fall
or fail, call, sirens can wail
mauled silence prevails
intimidated by jail cells
with shitty pails that smell
so drink what they sell
it's poison, we're hell-bent
past, future and present
erased and re-written
in every passing second, friend
it never ends

just bends and breaks
not heaven sent
until this madness
is all you can take
until the counts start blending
and you're wasting time
while your parole is pending
after spending a quarter century
in the penitentiary
the o.g. was right, may he rest in peace
stop shootin' your cousins
unite some vision with a dream
