(prod. By Timbaland)

TELL THE CHILDREN to watch out
TELL THE CHILDREN to watch out
Don't shoot!
TELL THE CHILDREN to watch out
Keep running, running, running, running
They're gaining on us
Oh they're gaining on us
Keep running, running, running

Black twister's naming me and the kids
We in the crib, it's a quarter past ten
Where your brother at?
Run up in this room, pull the cover back
Where I'm from niggas leave the fortune
They don't make it back
At least life when it starts pacing
Fuck the pigs wall, what brings you here on this occasion
A boy's been gunned down, boys is having fun now
With our blood and our sons disturbing the peace
He was more afraid of him when he's the one with the piece
Ah, none will drop, she hollering why god
When these leave, tell us it's nothing but their job
And profilers, then they wonder why we grow up being prejudice and so valid
The trick is down from the rich to the poor
They will fuck with you 'cause they can't believe that it's yours
Registration, I give these fucking street motivations
They wanna take us out so they start making allegations
I'm fed up, police coming so we spread up
My manner told me fuck 12, keep your head up

TELL THE CHILDREN to watch out
Keep running, running, running, running
They're gaining on us
Oh they're gaining on us
Keep running, running, running,
Keep on, keep on

King died for us niggas living in poverty
Fifty years later we still don't have equality
It bothers me
A badge is a pass to do whatever
For now we living in fear
Of the people here to protect us
Yo, they lie and disrespect us
Kill us, and then neglect us
The problem when nobody
Sees the view from our perspective
My people shed blood from the acres you had stole
Now my people shedding blood
On the gravel left in the cold
All these news ain't go talking bout the struggle
These niggas had it good, never had a pack down in their hood
Never had to take a charge, never had to stop a car
Never had to hit the stands, so you will never understand
You 100, I'll meet you at the top, just make a summit
My flow's all redundant, I'ma make you sound repugnant
I really am Messiah, bless the look before your tires
When I'm radding out, I hook them cooking niggas see flying

TELL THE CHILDREN to watch out
Keep running, running, running, running
They're gaining on us
Oh they're gaining on us
Keep running, running, running
Keep on, keep on
