4 AM

Nothing open but legs at this time so let me head home before I do something and someone that I’ll be ashamed of myself for come sunrise

Tell the crew I’ve had my fill of tonight and hit the road

Streets are clear

Windows down

UGK bumping through my speakers

I’m looking good

Diamonds up against the wood

All the lights are green

Cruising

Past the gas station

And the police turns out behind me

Following me so close that he’s practically in the car with me

Nothing to worry about

Insurance is current

License just renewed

Warrants (thinks)……

…..ummmm…..

Yeah I paid all those off last month

Got the paperwork to show in case the boys get froggy

1 mile

2 miles

3 miles

4 miles

5 miles

This pig still behind me

I know he had to have ran my plates long enough to see that I’m legal

Maybe he thinks I’m a drug dealer

Young, black, nice car, out at this time of night

Shaking my head

Watch him pull me over, tear apart my car then call the drug sniff dog…..is it a beagle?

On 8 miles now and he is still tailing me

I turn he turns

Left to right

Even though I know I’ve done nothing wrong….I still feel some sort of fright

Finally on my street pull in my driveway he stops a couple house back…..just sitting there looking at me

Pull out my keys he starts to edge his car to block mine in….

As I open the house door with no troubles he looks pissed

I can make out the words he’s saying

“How in the hell did this nigger get a house in a white neighborhood?!”

Turns on his lights and speeds off

Now you tell me there is no such thing as racism
