Escape From The Killing Fields

Ice T


Here we go 
I'm movin' off death row 
Ya gotta keep up hops 
Ya can't be slow 
Cuse their towers are high 
They got the hype gaats 
Check the perimeters good 
Read the maps 
It's night 
They might not see us 
Cuse if they catch us out there 
They'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 I'm a renegade 
I recognize 
when mind techniques 
Are being played 
It'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 ain't runnin' from ya 
I'm runnin' at ya 
and my posse's thick 
About a mil strong 
Too late to make up now 
Cause it's on 
I'm the one that's got ya 
In constant fear 
I'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 
I've schooled my homeboys 
Made '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 motherfuckin' 
Battleground 
There'll never be any good 
Schools in the hood 
There'll never be any cops 
That are any good 
The hospital is a great place 
To go to die 
Real estate's cheap 
Let me tell ya why? 
The man's got a 
Sure fire system 
A economic prison! 

CHORUS 

Escape from 
The killing fields!
