Ice T - Escape From The Killing Fields lyrics

rate me

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!

<i>[CHORUS]</i>

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!

<i>[CHORUS]</i>

Escape from

The killing fields!
