[Verse One:]<br>

<br>

(blam) Aww shit, another young brother hit<br>

I better go over my man's crib and get the pump<br>

Cause to the cops, shootin brothers is like playin baseball<br>

And they're never in a slump<br>

I guess when they shoot up a crew, it's a grand slam<br>

And when it's one, it's a home run<br>

But I'ma be ready with a wild pitch<br>

My finger got a bad twitch, plus I'm on the switch --<br>

-- side, and step up to the batter's box<br>

Fuck red and white, I got on Black Sox<br>

But let him shoot a person from the White Sox<br>

What's the call? Foul ball!<br>

Babe Ruth woulda made a good cop, but he didn't<br>

Instead he was a bigot, dig it<br>

My life is valuable and I protect it like a gem<br>

Instead of cops gettin me I'm goin out gettin them<br>

And let em cough up blood like phlegm<br>

It's grim (blam blam) but dead is my antonym<br>

And legally they can't take a fall<br>

Yo check it out it's just a friendly game of baseball<br>

<br>

[Verse Two:]<br>

<br>

R.B.I. -- real bad injury<br>

But don't get happy you're in jail for a century<br>

Just as bad as bein shot in the groin<br>

To see who'll shoot ya, they'll flip a coin<br>

And watch him run for the stretch<br>

But you don't know the man is at home waitin to make the catch<br>

So the outfielder guns you down<br>

You're out, off to the dugout, underground<br>

I know a cop that's savage, his pockets stay green like cabbage<br>

Cause he has a good batting average<br>

No questions, just pulls out the flamer<br>

(blam) And his excuses get lamer<br>

Once a brother tried to take a leave<br>

But they shot him in his face sayin he was tryin to steal a base<br>

And people watch the news for coverage on the game<br>

Hmm, and got the nerve to complain<br>

They need to get themselves a front row seat<br>

Or sink a baseline for a beat<br>

Cause television just ain't designed for precision y'all<br>

It's just a friendly game of baseball<br>

<br>

[Verse Three:]<br>

<br>

A kid caught on, but I don't know where the brother went<br>

The umpires are the government<br>

I guess they took him out the game, and replace him<br>

with a pinch-hitter, in the scam he was a quitter<br>

So the cops usually torment, I mean tournament<br>

Win em I was sayin<br>

You can't let the umpires, hear ya speak and battle<br>

like the other kid you won't be playin<br>

Cause they'll beat you til your ass drop<br>

A walking gun with a shell in his hand is their mascot<br>

And when they walk around let it be known to step lightly<br>

The bases are loaded<br>

My man got out from three strikes<br>

In the skull but the knife he was carrying was dull<br>

Instead of innings, we have endings<br>

What a fine way to win things<br>

And hot-dog vendors have fun<br>

Sellin you the cat rat and dog on a bun<br>

And when you ask what is all of this called?<br>

It's just a friendly game of baseball<br>

<br>
