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.
