For all the homies doin' time, look alive For every tear your mama cried, look alive When the Five-O arrive, look alive Everybody look alive, look alive You ain't ready Yeah See we always on the run 'Cause they be chasing us for fun When the neighborhood in pieces They say to pray and look to Jesus Light a candle with the sun 'Cause we lost another one Got us pledging our allegiance To a hand that doesn't feed us, preach I got a mouth like Malcolm And hands is like Ali Black panther, white mother You better not try me I got a mind like Martin Visions of Rodney King My city's on fire You know sometimes you gotta burn it down To build it up again Lights go out in the town we're living in Burn it down when no one's innocent Burn it down I am a god on the run I am a god on the run I am a god on the run Now we live behind the lines That they be keeping us inside And if red denotes the devil Then in hell is where we'll settle If I had to pick a side It's Inglewood until I die We the necessary evil For all these fake angelic people I got a mouth like Malcolm And hands is like Ali Black panther, white mother You better not try me I got a mind like Martin Visions of Rodney King My city's on fire You know sometimes you gotta burn it down To build it up again Lights go out in the town we're living in Burn it down when no one's innocent Burn it down I am a god on the run (Fight for survival but we was dead on arrival) (So we gon' fight for survival until we win) Put me in front of the gun (Fight for survival but we was dead on arrival) (So we gon' fight for survival until we win) Put me in front of the gun Put me in front of the gun You know sometimes you gotta burn it down To build it up again Lights go out in the town we're living in Burn it down when no one's innocent Burn it down We point our fingers while they point their guns Bullets, they miss us, we're gods on the run So burn it down and build it up again Burn it down I am a god on the run we still killers I am a god on the run I am a god on the run
