I'm [Abm] going to do it like this.
Check [Gb] it out.
[C] Now I lay me down to sleep is what I got to say when I pray each and every time I live
another day around this town a brown man is subject to die before 25 is still going to suspect.
We need a [E] conviction.
Yo, depiction.
I'm not beheading, bitch, a perfect description.
So if you're black, got a fat bomber, you better head for the hill [G] because you's about
[C] to catch a mad drama.
And [Eb] I'm a ticket like this.
I'm [F] about to be the first mother [N] with the handcuffs on my wrist.
Hand [E] on my head backseat.
Walk my transportation to the [Am] station for interrogation.
[E] So hold the blows, you know, because I got to stay safe for my [Gb] newspaper [C] photos.
[E] Yo, the frame up came up and even though I didn't do, [Abm] but [Gb] still put my name up underneath my picture.
Watch three inch letter page.
What [C] daily news say?
I got I got [Eb] caught with my Nina.
So come [C] clean with the facts.
We only hit you with a meter.
I'm dropping dimes on my man, but he's dropping on me.
[Abm] Now they got my [B] whole mother.
I'm [Ebm] innocent, but that don't matter because it's time to play ball and you know [B] who's
the batter swinging for the business.
Hit the benches.
No respect.
That's what you get when you are [N] suspect.
You better hit the deck.
Just the first day of work.
I was [C] born a suspect.
I got a walk around because [Ab] I'm all the attackers. I'm black.
Got a target on my back.
Brown in this [N] town.
You better hit the deck.
Just the first day of work.
I was born a [C] suspect.
I got a walk around because I'm all the attackers.
I'm black.
Got a target on my back.
So you want to be heard.
You better say something and stop for and you get [Bb] it.
You know who do the up and I'm stopping in my welcome.
And who's dirty?
Mother is I'm do shit.
Time to start the [Fm] revolution because [Gb] you want to treat me like a curse.
But what's [E] worse?
You want to put a mother in the purse, [C] but you don't want to battle me.
You even with my mom, but that still didn't rattle me.
But [E] I'm born with a dependency.
You're pumping dope in my veins and try to act like a friend of me.
Saying that you got to do it to maintain.
Why you steady up my brain?
Yo, I'm on the way and I can't pay attention.
By third grade, [Fm] I'm spending more time in the kitchen.
And the [B] fourth got to go.
[E] Why?
Because you're teaching me the same shit [N] I learned three years ago.
I learned to idolize the neighborhood fools to run with the worst mother.
Playing in school.
Yeah, the streets is my family.
Mom, don't [E] give up because you don't know how to handle me.
I'm running from my man.
I can't understand why I'm headed [B] for the island.
Yo, I did what I did because the brother got it in the case that they gave me.
I just can't beat you.
And I get no respect.
I call my friends collect.
Yo, I'm born a [C] suspect.
Brown in this town and you better hit the deck.
Since the first day of birth, I was born a suspect.
I got a rock strap [Ab] because I'm on the attack.
Because I'm black, got a target on my back.
And every day I [C] pray that my life will be different.
But ain't nothing changed, so I hit the streets and stay distant.
I'm born a [Ebm] suspect.
I'm born a suspect.
[F] I'm born a suspect.
[G] I'm born a suspect.
Rolling down the block in my [E] SC, see a 5-0 in my rear view.
Know he why I test [C] me.
Wondering how I get that $50,000 car.
[Em] But he don't even [N] give a f**k who you are.
But if I was 10, you wouldn't stop me.
But since I got a pick in my head, yeah, you know you gon' clap me.
I put my joint over because I got my paper straight.
Wondering should I try to make [C] the great escape.
But if I do that, [Bb] it'll just give a reason [F] to do what you [N] do.
Because my skin is in season.
I'm college educated and I wear a white collar.
But you still think that I'm making drug dollars.
You walking with your hand on your trigger.
But I got my hand on my tongue because my s**t is much thicker.
And one false move, you better pray everlasting.
Because if I'm going off, sir, [C] I'm going out blasting.
Because I'm [Gb] tired of your tactics.
So I keep my strap unlocked with a black Rhino plastic.
So if you want to put me to a [D] test, [E] I'ma put some holes in your back.
[B] Do that bulletproof vest.
Because when my situation gets drastic and I'm about to die,
we both go at home in a casket.
Because when the backlight blows, the ghetto gets respect.
So you better think twice when you check a suspect.
Yo, [N] Brown in this town and you better hit the next system.
First day of birth, I was born a suspect.
I got to walk around strapped because I'm on the attack.
Because I'm black, got a target on my back.
And every day I pray that my life will be different.
But ain't nothing changed till I hit the street.
I'm born a suspect.
I'm born a suspect.
[Am] I'm born a suspect.
I'm born a suspect.
