Belly - I Swear Lyrics

[Belly]
Yeah,
This for all my niggas in lockup,
If you was convicted of something you didn't do,
If you was wrongfully accused,
If you was discriminated against, this is for you.

I swear they wanna stop me,
I swear they think they got me,
They judge me then they lock me,
I stand up they can't drop me..

We gotta pick ourselves up,
Out here, nobody's tryna help us.
That's why they try to jail us, blackmail us,
Close the coffin keep the nails shut.
Why I got the popo's hatin, when I beat 3 cases,
I ain't never had no probation.
You'll never succeed if you don't show no patience,
I remember the days when there was no rotation.
We was leavin messaged nobody would call back,
Now it's superstardom broads calls and all that.
What I'm speakin is all fact I'm innocent,
I went legit tell em all to fall back.
I don't hesitate, I let em hate,
You know you talkin to a leather face I'll never break.
They pull over the Escalades to check the plates,
Don't you got rapes and murders to investigate?

I swear they wanna stop me,
I swear they think they got me,
They judge me then they lock me,
I stand up they can't drop me..

I swear that when I come up Ima put the hood down,
Ima guarantee my niggas front 50 on every ounce.
No more frontin' the homies we f*ckin with major weight,
And I swear, that when I get up on my feet we straight.
I done stood on every corner movin work on the blocks,
Got enemies I ain't never seen, so I'm shell shot.
Got a glock .45 and a holster on my side,
And I'm prepared to put it down on anybody wanna die.
I been down for too long my game too strong,
To be a broke motherf*cker, and Ima put that on,
Everything I believe in, looks are deceivin,
Just because a dog don't bite don't mean he teethin.
And I'm seasonin, I'm programmed to squeeze it,
F*ck the 40 acres and the mule, we dyin over few, In this white man's world that's how they do,
And most of my homies off in the hood off in this crew..

I swear they wanna stop me,
I swear they think they got me,
They judge me then they lock me,
I stand up they can't drop me..

I've been close to gone, seen death vividly,
Speak my heart out, I guess that's what stress did to me.
Now it's less freedom less liberty,
No wonder jails is filled with ethnicity.
This is the evolution without the education of
The youth the revolution of rap.
The difference between illusion and fact,
All they give us is rap, ball all future of crap.
I swear to God the prison system is sick,
Half the convicts, serve time for crimes they didn't commit.
Gotta sleep where they piss and they shit,
How can you judge them when God has forgiven their sins.
Don't you ever let out, tear in my eyes is streamin,
Screamin big home keep your head up.
You wonder why I'm defending their rights?
You know how deeply this affected my life? Heyy

I swear they wanna stop me,
I swear they think they got me,
They judge me then they lock me,
I stand up they can't drop me..
