Routine - Bambu

Listen baby, maybe I’ve been busy chasing money for a long long time

And I ain’t making time, I’ve been way behind, let me go drop you a few lines

I know you wonder when I get nervous when you bringing your Nerf gun outside,

because police see a little brown boy with a gun toy, that’s on site

Hoodie down, because when you’re hoodie up you get followed all the way home

Music down, because when your music up you get shot down

And I know you only 8 but still, the devil got no chill

Aiyana Jones was only 7 when the police busted in and got her killed

Pay attention son

Daddy passing on lessons

Just to keep you safe in your skin

Anything can be a weapon

They feel threatened by your sight

So when you old enough and you drive

Keep your wallet, and your registration, and insurance card in plain sight

Don’t dig in pockets or, in compartments, or they fire will on you so fast

Whether a phone, a comb, or a chocolate bar they see a gun when it’s in your

hand

They assume you shop lifting in stores, so they gonna follow you for it

Or you probably getting ignored, because the lady don’t think you can afford it

They pull purses by their feet, call police across the street

Just stay cordial, and don’t trip it if they flex boy by all means

But just be you, and you’ll be fine

You’ve just got to run harder than the head starter, and then I’m glad you’re

mine

(Bambu and Khalil)

Why would I wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna be like them?

Why would I wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna be like them?

Said why would I wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna be like them?

Why would I wanna wanna wanna wanna wanna be like them?

(Bambu)

Yo, listen baby, maybe I’ve been busy chasing money for a long long time

And I ain’t making time, I’ve been way behind, sum it up in one line, Screaming:

Fuck a cop (repeated)

For every victim of police:

Fuck a cop (repeated)

For every name we saying:

Fuck a cop (repeated)

We ain’t gonna get tired screaming:

Fuck a cop (repeated)

For every victim of a pig we saying:

Fuck a cop (repeated)

We ain’t getting tired screaming:

Fuck a cop (repeated)

For every name they took away it’s:

Fuck a cop (repeated)

Out in Saint Louis they screaming:

Fuck a cop (repeated)

All the way in Oakland it’s like:

Fuck a cop (repeated)

Right here on the block we screaming:

Fuck a cop (repeated)

I never get tired of saying:

Fuck a cop (repeated)

Say it with me homie, it’s like:

Fuck a cop (repeated)

Keep your teeth white saying:

Fuck a cop (repeated)

For every victim of a pig its:

Fuck a cop (repeated)

For ever name they took away it’s like

Fuck a cop

(Khalil)

We all prey for the devil mother f------
