Lyrics

Yo, Sway, man.

I can't even describe it, man.

The situation was crazy, bruh.

If I was a gorilla I would say it was bananas, B.

For real, the man just- he just took over the whole situation, god.

Listen -

Man, it is what it is

Can't understand a man if you ain't lived what he lived

Roaches in the crib, ain't got no food up in the fridge

Plus the crime running rampant and it's screwing up the kids

Sway, admit, what kind of paradise is this?

I just want my 40 acres and some carats on the wrist

But these snakes is trying to gather in the pit

When you get a cottonmouth, plucking ashes off the clip

Off the rip, now a challenger exists

And he bulletproof, shoot, what kind of caliber is this?

Got thugs in the store with the barrel on your lips

Saying, "empty out the drawer" before he pound you with the grip

Lord, who to call when no one obeys the law

And there ain't no Iron Man that can come and save us all?

Power to the people and Luke Cage the cause

And the cops got it wrong, we don't think Cage involved

Look, dog, a hero, never had one

Already took Malcolm and Martin, this is the last one

I beg your pardon, somebody pulling a fast one

Now we got a hero for hire and he a black one

And bullet-hole hoodies is the fashion

We in Harlem's Paradise, tell the Captain

That I'm about to trade the mic for a Magnum

Give up my life for Trayvon to have one

Yeah, 'cause this is bulletproof love

And you already know what a bulletproof does

So you can take it from a bulletproof thug

The hood got his back, dog, bulletproof love

The blood thicker than mud

And who am I to judge if you get a gun in the club?

'Cause you already know what a bulletproof does

When the hood got your back, dog, bulletproof love

Yeah, shoutout to Pop. RIP, my brother.

The streets is crazy nowadays.

People say we don't need another hero, but now we got one whether you like it or not.

Luke Cage, please believe it, sir. The streets got your back.

You already bulletproof love, baby.
