Yo, sway it, man I can't even describe it man
the situation is crazy, bro
If I was a gorilla I would say it was bananas
the man just---he just took over the whole situation, you got?
Listen
Man, it is what it is
Can't understand a man If you ain't lived what he lived
Roaches in the crib Ain't got no food up in the fridge
Plus the crime runnin' rampant And it's screwin' up the kids
Sway, admit What kind of paradise is this?
I just want my 40 acres And some carats on the wrist
But these snakes Is tryin' to gather in the pit
Where you get a cottonmouth Pluckin' ashes off the clip
Off the rip, now a challenger exists
And he bulletproof, shoot What kinda caliber is this?
Got thugs in the store With the barrel on your lips
Sayin', "Empty out the drawer"
Before he pound you with the grip
Lord, who to call When no one obeys the law
And there ain't no Iron Man That can come and save us all?
Power to the people And Luke Cage the cause
And the cops got it wrong We don't think Cage involved
Look, dog, a hero, never had one
Already took Malcolm and Martin This is the last one
I beg your pardon Somebody pullin' a fast one
Now we got a hero for hire And he a black one
And bullet-hole hoodies Is the fashion
We in Harlem's Paradise Tell the Captain
That I'm about to trade the mic For a Magnum
Give up my life For Trayvon to have one
Yeah, 'cause this is bulletproof love
And you already know What a bulletproof does
So you can take it From a bulletproof thug
The hood got his back, dog Bulletproof love
Blood thicker than mud
And who am I to judge If you get a gun in the club?
'Cause you already know What a bulletproof does
When the hood got your back, dog Bulletproof love
Shout out to Pop. RIP, my brother.
The streets is crazy right nowadays
People say we don't need another hero, but now we got one.
Whether you like it or not, Luke Cage, please believe it, sir,
the streets got your back.
You're already bulletproof love, baby!
