Xzibit – Before the Streets Lock Down Lyrics

Hip Hop/Rap

This America-This America-This America exists no more as
We know it. If you notice when he makes speeches, there
Is no more Presidential Seal behind him. Which means we
In muthafuckin' martial law and there are no elections

All my neighbors out of work
Rent due, saying "fuck it" on the first
Pockets hurt, it's about to get worse
Feeling like a curse or a plague
Get a hospital bed in the end
Wonder what it's all worth
I heard you need a ventilator
Don't worry, you'll be fine, you gon' get it later
Ticking time bomb, I'm the detonator
Dictator, mow you down like the Terminator
Yeah, common denominator, annihilator
I could cap a Q on a Phi Beta
Ain't no switching or changing your mind, hater
Y'all niggas is pussy, you need a vibrator
You better stop it like brake pads
Bunch of hand sanitizer and a face mask
Standing six feet apart, never shake hands
Quarantine, taking kids out of class
Take a bunch of toilet paper, 'bout to save your ass

Now you take that shit off your face, it's pointless. Because you
See this? This is- this is the largest organ on your body, the skin
So you just coverin' up your face? Shit don't make sense, y'all

Hit 'em with a little bit of truth this year
I'ma keep it dirty 'til it's crystal clear
Listen here, my nigga
My heart's in my chest in a bulletproof vest
And it don't pump fear
Never scared of America, lockdown, we're
Used to being on lockdown with stocks down
And no mom and pops 'round
That hot sound of lead flyin' at ya
I'm in my element, nigga, I'm doin' fine
Catch a motherfucker creeping, I'ma kill him on my property
Nan' one of you motherfuckers is stopping me
I'm a serial killer, so I'm killing 'em properly
Irresponsibly, honestly, constantly
We can all use some relief and release for a while
'Fore the food dry up and the police lock down
Down, down, down, down, down
Before the streets lock down

Oh, you in Hollywood? Ain't no- why you think they got- they
All at home now? Ain't no more Hollywood, bruh. Ain't no more
Hollywood. Motherfuckers in Lansing, Michigan with rifles
And double shot-off shotguns. They ain't goin' home, they ain't
Stayin' home. You know why they wanna keep you in the house

Living the dream and maybe you know what I mean
Life is getting the cream
Maybe you don't need a thing
Give me the ring that got you feeling like a king
When they take it away, what you're feeling is a sting
Who would've thought a lot about it? Tomorrow locked down
'Nother depression, pandemic bringing the block down
Unemployment at an all-time high
Pharmaceuticals making a killing, watching us die
Forty-five telling us lies, media wars on the rise
You don't know who to trust, you just wanna go outside
Put your mask on like a bandit, understand it
It goes down like they planned it
Damned if I don't get up now and I don't say something
Media talking but they don't say nothing
One attacking the other to break news
People deny it and call it fake news
