From the recording Choose My Peace
Lyrics
[Intro]
Today's announcement marks a fundamental change,
In how we address gang violence,
Starting with these charges,
We are prosecuting street gangs,
As the criminal organizations they are
[Chorus]
Racketeering takin all the gangstas wit the money out,
For appearances you better seem to take a different route,
They listen to your songs and tryin to see what it’s about,
So they can charge you wit the rico now you never gettin out,
Racketeering takin all the gangstas wit the money out,
For appearances you better seem to take a different route,
They listen to your songs and tryin to see what it’s about,
So they can charge you wit the rico now you never gettin out
[Verse 1]
Fani Willis like a change machine she handin out quarters,
And sleepin with the special prosecutor in that order,
Thug came home I thought he was gonna do a quarter,
He closed his mouth held it down sat and paid the lawyer,
90 percent of cases end up in the feds favor,
So when they come and get you start praying to your savior,
They got Durkio before he flew out of Florida,
Boom for hire freedom expired cause they called the coroner,
It’s lonely in that jail cell,
And especially when you can not tell,
If you gonna get out and the walls are closing in as well,
Shoulda coulda woulda eatin at you on the daily,
Cause in the end when they close the door that’s it no maybe
[Chorus]
Racketeering takin all the gangstas wit the money out,
For appearances you better seem to take a different route,
They listen to your songs and tryin to see what it’s about,
So they can charge you wit the rico now you never gettin out,
Racketeering takin all the gangstas wit the money out,
For appearances you better seem to take a different route,They listen to your songs and tryin to see what it’s about,
So they can charge you wit the rico now you never gettin out
[Verse 2]
If there’s violence in your songs we need to have this conversation,
Racketeer influenced and corrupt organization,
Organized crime Control when it was legislated,
1970 Rico act if you need clarification,
Fast forward present day,
Casanova lost his case,
Smurda took more time so the rebel wouldn’t rot away,
Fetty movin H and Caine,
Pleaded guilty 6 and change,
Leaving kids with trauma pain,
Navigating rough terrain,
Ugly like it’s lil Wayne,
game will never be the same,
Dot your I’s cross your T’s,
And please cease streets agree,
The feces speech is cheap,
Get yo money leave the street,
concrete jungle is danger no sweet
[Chorus]
Racketeering takin all the gangstas wit the money out,
For appearances you better seem to take a different route,
They listen to your songs and tryin to see what it’s about,
So they can charge you wit the rico now you never gettin out,
Racketeering takin all the gangstas wit the money out,
For appearances you better seem to take a different route,
They listen to your songs and tryin to see what it’s about,
So they can charge you wit the rico now you never gettin out
[Outro]
The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act,
Is a United States federal law that provides for extended criminal penalties,
And a civil cause of action for acts performed,
As part of an ongoing criminal organization aka the rico
