[Intro: Luke] What you're about to hear is basically on the minds of all young black men. The only way they figure they can get out of this run-down society, the only way to live, ... they consider theyself as fugitives.
[Verse 1: JT Money] So what? I got a dark complexion and gold teeth Is that a reason to call the police? On a nigga that's known to be a black sheep They wanna throw my ass in the back seat But a nigga can't stand it The whole system's underhanded; I'm looked at as a bandit So I go start a riot, but they gon' have to Bust a cap in my ass to keep me quiet 'Cause I can't be held down I'ma fight for my shit so that makes me jail-bound Here come the boys in blue to harass me But all them punk mah'fuckers can kiss my ass, see A nigga ain't scared to do time I did it before; it's all in the mind But I ain't tryin' to go back And I'ma give all these motherfuckers hell, black 'Cause that's what they gave me And ain't one bitch out there who can save me But before they take me, They gotta catch me. What the fuck that make me?
A FUGITIVE. [x2]
[Verse 2: JT Money] Here's the truth about my youth and my childhood A buck wild and reckless, point blank and wild hood Always up to no good, I had big dreams Started movin' them thangs at age 16 Now I'm a young nigga sittin on G's Only dealin' with O-Z's and keys Every now and then I move a few quarters To niggas scowlin' at me, I'm givin' orders I never bag or flaunt, 'cause I'm a cool youth Thinkin' of a plan that's fool-proof Of how to increase my wealth Made up my mind, it's time to go for self Now here's somethin' that you never seen A young nigga run his own shit at age 17 A year later, I'm greater than the average nigga And my operation's still gettin' bigger Of course I had to fly a few hits Now I got a rep; I'm runnin' from the feds Fuck 'em! A nigga just can't win They wanna see me rot in the state pen Huh. But I can't see it, black! And I'ma haul ass like I'm runnin' track 'Cause I know they gon' fry me So I move out of town, change my whole ID Better yet, change my look before they seize me Or a fool'l recognize me on TV But before they can take me, They gotta catch me. What the fuck that make me?
