You come to me, you’re coming in hot
You say your bit, get cool but I’m not
Once you start me up you know I can’t stop
I resent that you’re OK but you’ve ruined the rest of my day
And for what?
The rider weaves through traffic and stops
At the light turning right, SUV blocked
Driver honks, rider has his lock
They both yell, this cant end well, who will be felled
And for what?
Walk the beat, random guy stopped
Don’t assert your rights with the cops
Stop n frisk, carding kids on the block
With no chance of bail it’s a justice fail, go straight to jail
And for what
