"What U Gonna Do"

When it goes down what you gone do/ turn the other check or ride with your crew/ stand for nothing and you fall for anything/ I'm down to ride, how about you/ what you gone do

Gift
I heard the other night/ a situation went down and it wasn't right/ he damn near lost his life/ a model citizen, good grades, from the hood/ police stopped him, about what, about some drugs/ now see the problem was, there was no drugs there/ no gun, just bruises, no drugs there/ who gone police the police for what they done/ he had hair missing...you see the pictures son/ where's the justice...3 officers with 3 guns/ against a young man who didn't even have 1/ charge with a crime yet/ when he was a victim of brutality and digress of pigs who be spineless/ where the church, where the thugs, where the congress/ the community, we all tryna progress/ stand for nothing we fall for anything/ we do nothing who can we blame/ what you gone do

Jasiri X
I am Jordan Miles/ police are more than foul/ why y'all wanna kill our babies like an aborted child/ then come to the court and smile/ cause they know before the trial/ they made up some stories how them black men was surely wild/ plenty police brutality prize but they ignore the file/ let a brother have 1 misdemeanor watch them report us how/ military state, they training new world order style/ armored tanks locking the boarders down for a quarter mile/ to the lord I vow, hand over my aorta/ I'll stand for our son and daughters proud cause we need warriors now/ I am Oscar Grant/ no love for cops that can't/ tell between a gun and a taser before they shot his back/ what kinda crock is that/ how long will we watch and act/ like our people ain't getting beat down...this ain't no boxing match/ holla at One Hood, we organized...fortified/ later for all them wanna be gangstas scared to record a line

Prototype
So we sober and the lights flash/ and we pull over, to the shoulder/ are you holding, I'm like no sir...(be cool, I got a thousand stories, peep this)
Police on the heat seek/ want me on route to the precinct/ as I walk through the park they hop out/ of the car, on a hunt and its unmarked/ with the heat in they palm too/ and they scream out yo freeze, who you/ in the night though, with they rifle/ on the other end with Decyple, with no ice on, but I'm too cool/ what's the problem officer/ yeah we looking for a villian/ and you fit the desciption/ in your all black, with your goatee and your melanin...is you trippin'/ if you move I'm uh taze you/ what's your name and your game and your angle/ where's the drugs at/ are you buzzed/ what's your hobby...and do you like hockey/ what's that got to do with me/ I'm uh need me the N double A C/ P R...T O T Y to the P E/ and they greasy...be easy

Geisha
Bail bonds is at an all time high/ blunt sales is through the roof/ rappers making millions off of liquor sales 40 to 80 proof/ but what you gone do/ smoke a blunt...drink them brews/ when we as a people is getting restless/ warrior cries screaming for justice/ leagues of our own, can't get equal support like it's just us/ can't get equal support like its just us
