Here we go
iand'm movinand' off death row
ya gotta keep up hops
ya canand't be slow
cuse their towers are high
they got the hype gaats
check the perimeters good
read the maps
itand's night
they might not see us
cuse if they catch us out there
theyand'll bleed us
shoot us kill us
dump us in a dark ditch
clean it up call it a gang hit
i gotta make my move
cause iand'm a renegade
i recognize
when mind techniques
are being played
itand's a plot they use
to keep down another
here comes another
brainwashed brother
Shut up do you know
how dumb you sound?
that mentality
what keeps my people down
no one wants to
live in an urban war
you live there cause
your parents were poor
they live there because
theirs were also
get yourself together
hit the gates bro!
Chorus
ya gotta get out!
ya gotta get out! why?
ya gotta get out!
ya gotta get out! why?
ya gotta get out!
ya gotta get out! why?
cause the fields
are where you die!
Escape from
the killing fields
you try to keep us
running and running faster
but i ainand't runninand' from ya
iand'm runninand' at ya
and my posseand's thick
about a mil strong
too late to make up now
cause itand's on
iand'm the one thatand's got ya
in constant fear
iand'm the nigga
you shoulda killed last yeaar
but you played yourself
you let me gain wealth
now i can change the wy
the cards are dealt
iand've schooled my homeboys
made and'em all understand
the tricks nd twists
inflicted on the black man
how ya make me think
to be down
i gotta stay around
down in the motherfuckinand'
battleground
thereand'll never be any good
schools in the hood
thereand'll never be any cops
that are any good
the hospital is a great place
to go to die
real estateand's cheap
let me tell ya why?
the manand's got a
sure fire system
a economic prison!
Chorus
Escape from
the killing fields!
