For all the homies doing time, look alive

For every tear your momma cried, look alive

The way the five 0 arrive, look aliveEverybody look alive, look alive

You ain′t ready

Some always on the run

Steady chasing us for fun

When the neighbourhood in pieces

They say to pray and look to Jesus

Light a candle with the son

Because we lost another one

Got us pledging our allegiance

To a hand that doesn't feed us

Preach

I got a mouth like Malcolm

And hands just like Ali

Black Panther, white walker

You better not try me

I got a mind like Martin

Visions of Rodney King

My city′s on fire

You know sometimes you gotta

Burn it down

To build it up again

Lights go out in the town we're living in

Burn it down

When no one's innocent

Burn it down

I am a gun on the run

I am a gun on the run

I am a gun on the run

If we live behind the lines

That they be keeping us aside

And if heaven knows the devil

Then the hell is where we′ll settle

If I had to pick a side

It′s either one until I die

We the necessary evil

For all these fake angelic people

I got a mouth like Malcolm

And hands just like Ali

Black Panther, white walker

You better not try me

I got a mind like Martin

Visions of Rodney King

My city's on fire

You know sometimes you gotta

Burn it down

To build it up again

Lights go out in the town we′re living in

Burn it down

When no one's innocent

Burn it down

I am a gun on the run

Fight for survival but he was dead on arrival

So we gon′ fight for survival until we're dead

Put me in front of the gun

Fight for survival, but he was dead on arrival

So we gon′ fight for survival until we're dead

Put me in front of the gun

Bang, ang

Put me in front of the gun

You know sometimes you gotta

Burn it down

To build it up again

Lights go out in the town we're living in

Burn it down

When no one′s innocent

Burn it down

We point our fingers while they point their guns

Bullets they miss us, we guns on the run

So burn it down

And build it up again

Burn it down

I am a gun on the run

We still killers

I am a gun on the run

I am a gun on the run
