Predator by Rell Be Free Lyrics
[intro: Hillary Clinton]
"They are not just gangs of kids anymore. They are often the kinds of kids called "Super Predators"- no conscience, no empathy. We can talk about why they ended up that way but first we've got to bring them to heel..."
(Rell Be Free, shouts to LG)
[Verse 1]
Kill or be killed, be real or be reeled
That's a cold combination, so the synergy ill
You feeling me still? Need no pills to appeal
Arms strong enough in space 2 make an enemy kneel (Neil, nil) My gravity is reality, I'm pullin' the pressure
So you better take notes like I'm giving a lecture
Cuz I'm feeling like a villain, Civilians fear a young Negro
Don't see that we some Kings though, Suspicious skin on my people
Red dots on my dreadlocks, Only die wit head shots
Like a photo, I'm loco, Got no love for the popo
The system got debts to pay back, Since way back
1850 please recall the Fugitive Slave Act
That produced the police, But they won't say that
History books took the truth (like) wayy outta context
It's obvious that they hate us
But never claim 2 to be racists
Jus passing more legislation
That's based in discrimination, so
[HOOK]
I'm a Predator, guess I'm jus a Predator
Coming for your senator
To her it ain't a metaphor
Predator, jus a super predator
Arnold Schwarzenegger like he comin' for a Predator
(turn up!) Predator, callin' me a predator
Popo on yo cellular
I might jus shoot the messenger
Predator
Jus another peddler
Paying for my genocide in capital expenditure
[Verse 2]
Coppers head hunting for a brotha like me
Six feet, Black man, in a white tee
Free ya mind, this emancipation
Cleanse the game, this sanitation
I'm the bomb, an abomination
Fred Douglass of a proclamation
Doc I'm unchained, Rell Django Turner
On Harriet chariot with a burner, we gettin' further
First i take these keys and unlock my folk
Never seen the Diaspora disappointed with hope
Free, who gon pay for that? My producers got provision
I told y'all that its different when you rap and come from privilege
So, I don't be acting and talkin' hard cuz I'm not
But I mos def rep for my folk on the block
And private school ain't stop Paul Lee from gettin' shot
Why the cops wasn't caught when Che Taylor got popped
I'm in awe, seen too many of the young lost
So I ain't never ever gonna cut my tongue off
I'd be a fool if i don't speak the truth
And seek the roots, Need the proof?
Try me, guarantee I'm on your back like a Pickachu
They say that we are predators, felons, and thugs
Jus some dangerous characters, prolly selling the drugs
Oh "he was juggin' weed", "slangin' single cigarettes"
So they shot em in the back and left him with no silhouette
While independent militias be threatening government
But they resolve it with Peace and cover it, man I'm over it
[HOOK]
I’m a Predator, guess I'm jus a Predator
Letter to yo editor
To them it ain't a metaphor (unh!)
Predator, jus a super predator
I ain't Danny Glover brother I am such a Predator
Predator, callin' me a predator
Popo on yo cellular
I might jus shoot the messenger
Predator
Jus another peddler
Paying for my genocide in capital expenditure
I prey
