    LYRICS:
    Verse One (John):
    my name john and i’m a city cop
    and i’m jus tired of these nii --- lemme not
    they try to paint me as racist but see i’m really not
    call me pork so i put em on they belly at every stop/
    ‘n they scared? what a joke how bout how i feel
    check the crime rate, look at my eyes behind my shield
    im scared, this is a job, this how i find my meals
    so if they gon’ lie and steal ima make em lie from steel/
    and i think my life do matter more
    i seen too many of these people kill without remorse
    used to be 3/5s of a man, but i think half is more accurate
    how they celebrate savageness in a patterned form/
    my family raised me not to trust em fuck you they ain’t wrong
    these other cops are my brothers, and they be wishin us harm,
    they told me that it’s our culture to make sure that they suffer and i can’t break the bond
    it’s all i got im faithful dog/
    i bleed blue like i’m a giants fan
    to question my way is to stop flow in my veins
    so i ain’t slowin a day, ima keep everyone safe
    from these black bastards and, that’s word to my gang gang gang
    HOOK:
    i’m jus ridin for my gang gang gang
    Gang gang gang gang gang
    Gang gang gang gang
    GANG
    i’m jus ridin for my gang gang gang
    Gang gang gang gang gang
    Gang gang gang gang
    GANG
    America, whole lotta gang shit
    America, whole lotta gang shit
    America, whole lotta gang shit
    Gang gang gang gang GANG
    Verse Two (James):
    my name’s james and i’m in the klan
    my family been down for a four generation span
    it’s not bout the hatred man it’s love for our nation
    the white place where we took savages and enslaved and tamed em /
    And these white threads as hereditary as this white skin
    i ain’t have a say soon as i was of age i’s in
    and if i have to, i’ll resort to violence
    cuz they tryn’ shine colors in a country made for white men/
    And we’re poor too
    boo hoo all of you lefty’s complain about your oppression and pain
    while all of these mexicans came and take all our jobs and our lanes
    And i don’t blame corporatist games cuz i want the spoils and fame/
    i could have more too, that could be me one day
    that’s why i love trump, cuz see he see my way
    we gon make america white again
    cuz i don’t wanna compete with people who work harder than me cuz we all spited them/
    And if i considered that how we livin is wrong
    that would mean that i would have to concede that the sale and beatin of those bodies was uncalled for
    that it was all the murder and rape that got us these sunday’s at the golf course
    that we as heinous as they try to make us out to be why would i even try?
    there’s nothin in it for me to not treat it as lie
    so far as i’m concerned, all the blacks jews and the gays and the muslims and the mexicans could leave or die/
    i do it all for the klan, these are my brothers
    they understand me, and we all understand each other
    Don’t tell me that our fathers and mothers should be ashamed
    im ridin out forever for my gang gang gang gang gang
    HOOK
    Verse Three (Marcus):
    my name marcus and i’m in the feds
    i been locked up 4 years and 6 is left
    i got 10 for armed robbery shit and honestly
    i ain’t even wanna do it and it’s hard not to get depressed im dyin here/
    was bangin colors since a youngn
    was born into a gang cuz of the block that i grew up in
    i done seen many die, and a few folks kill
    but when the world won’t give you nothin shit, you gon’ steal/
    and my gang was all i knew, brothers amongst the madness
    drugs and death all around us and we was angry and callous
    the gang shit was all we had we made mistakes and were misled
    but why my gang got me in jail, and yours got you home in bed?/
    riddle me that, my skin black it’s simple as that
    the hatred you both got for me is all written in fact
    of our institutions you confused and feel like gettin me back
    for what? For livin poor in conditions that’s wack?/
    You claim that i strike fear in you
    But what you feel is you, for me to live how you’d call clean’d be a miracle
    The data’s empirical, you hate it when my people march for me
    But don’t you too scream cuz you feel they aint hearin’ you?/
    Your whole premise is false
    But i won’t waste no time tryna break your prejudice walls
    Point is we all on some gang shit, loyal to what we’s taught
    Believe in what was passed down our community’s theme of thought/
    And i’m the only one in cuffs for it
    If i get out a better man i’m still fucked for it
    You turn the TV on and look, you got Trump for it
    The president is in your gang bitch, and you still point at me to blame shit/
    I pray that when i get out, shit aint all the same
    But it’s a cold world to be alone in
    When the whole place that you grown in treat you like dogs in the rain
    Shit i might fuck around and call gang, gang gang gang
    HOOK

      Big fan here, Craft! I used to spit and would love to see some of my unheard bars on your tracks (No charge). I did an NBA track in 2005-6 you'd like for sure. Some sample lines are "The fans in background, the ballers in the trenches, the role players waiting their turn - riding the benches. But me, I power forward like KG and Webber, so step aside Yao Ming, I'm movin' to the center." "This vision - on point like J-Kidd is, longer than Rick Smits, no breaks, 48 minutes. In this game, you call me a mainstay. My team roll with Heat, so call me Dwayne Wade. Like MJ fallin' away, call it a day. I'm Timmy Duncan on anyone who ball in my game." Plenty more where that came from - hit me up. One more for you - "I'm steady writin' like a journalist and jumpin' tracks more tracks than a hurdlist. Never heard of this? You lookin' at a star like Copernicus."

    As a filmmaker, I really appreciate that you put the credits in the description. These days, it's hard enough to find out who directed a music video, let alone the actors that starred in it. Helps when other filmmakers wanna use an actor in a music video.

That were controlled by a group of people who have convinced and weaponized politicians AND the police against us? The Gustapo were known under the "German Workers Party" - what we now call the "Nazi" party... Dude were in trouble, when the shit goes down they can pay every willing hand to kill for them.... we have to CONVINCE ours to fight for us on premise.

    The progression of the instrumental is incredible! First verse with the organ, showing a more traditional thinking that still exists to do this day with the cop. Second verse with the fingerpicking of the guitar, expressing a more subtle sound like the KKK who are proud of who they are but they won't show themselves in public. And finally, you got the saxophone, which fits perfectly with the blues and soul usually found in black music. This song is just a masterpiece that hasn't gotten the recognition it deserves.

If you see it and say nothing as a cop you're just as bad as the murderer but there's so many that hate that shit.
      And if a precinct is corrupt the good cops are probably threatened to stay silent to keep the status quo. In short. The system itself is fucked. When trigger happy men use lethals first and morons destroy their own fucking neighborhood and stores. The country itself is fucking stupid.

      This is true everyone is in their own gang and you have to understand that and respect their rights to have an oppinion racsist or not thats how they feel. The 3rd verse wraps it up nicely this guy hates the song because he doesn't understand everyone was taught their own way. For me i was taught we're all human beings so i dont belong in a gang some when that gang shit protest i dont join them or agree simply because floyd was human not black

      Ste Ebbrell no they’re right whether it’s a family coworkers or friends it’s a gang because that’s what a gang is essentially it’s a group of people coming together doing what they feel is necessary (doesn’t mean it is)
