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
Marlon Craft Yo Marlon, this is fire. We all want you to blow up and songs with more of a story (I know all your music has a message but more of a story like this one) could really get you there faster. Keep killin it homie
Top notch shit, Craft. Thanks for speaking the truth.
This is Amazing
Thank U from Paris!)
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."
This is when you know the Grammys is a systematic game. This are the type of songs that should be nominated and given awards. 💯 Marlon
Lio Pard
Lol. Respect. And yes they are all the things that aren’t sincere or true to the music. It’s a money industry thing. So is everything in your whole life. Get angry, we’re going to need to fight.
This should defiantly have a minimum of 1 listen per English. Speaking American. Minimum. Spread it on your socials.
When you actually take like, 15 seconds to think about it long and hard... Isnt that scary as fuck? 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. They will outnumber us, be assured, whenever that revolution does come, it aint gunna be a clean. Never are they.
NagsterTheGangster
Yeah, the fight isn’t winnable with that sort of revolution. Money always won wars. It has to manifest from the fight of the the masses.. it’s the only silver lining with increased redistribution... a really
Poor lower class wouldn’t help... but everyone in a bad way. That could be harnessed
Dude the Grammy's have been a popularity contest for the longest time.
Not gonna lie I was sleeping on da kid! These words do more than wana make you 💃🏻
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.
I was just thinking this exact same thing
And the acting is truly powerful....adds a great deal to the track no doubt. I doubt the lyrics alone could portray the different perspectives & human connection that the actors & filmmaker so superbly convey.
That shit drives me nuts man as an editor a lot of MF's just don't show credit to the tedious work that goes into editing quality content.
i was thinking this too, superb! i was totally convinced the first actor was Vincent D'onofrio and had to check it. And TADAA! there it was, in description, everything i needed.
@xo Lynn It's not just irritating but also ignorant when you do work for a underground artist, especially when they have no idea who you are connected with in the industry distribution wise. A good old fashion you scratch my back I'll scratch yours rarely exists anymore.
3 years later & this is still better than 95% of what's out right now.
Marlon's the truth.
To bad it’s 99% bullshit.
ALREADY 💕💕💕
The actor for the cop did a great job with the lipsync, originally thought he was the one singing the song at first lol
"if they gon lie and steal, imma make em lie from steel...."
fked up but the wordplay is insane.
That bitch been said by nearly every battle rapper for the past 10 years
This old lyrics get in the game peasant
Ayr Mendina oooooo it’s the big bois
Exactly which lying robbing stealing murdering. POS are the singers referring to?
The supposed criminals, or the known ones in blue?. Idiots. Duuuuuh
@@reallyrightpersonafycta4007 Your only a criminal if you get caught. If you get caught don't cry dummy.
This hits just a little bit harder right now.
what about this guy czcams.com/video/pCUXkeyEoO0/video.html
Exactly
@@jsarp1310 agreed like these Black Americans being killed czcams.com/video/H1toK3ODe9U/video.html
Lol you dumb fuck iPhone drugged up wiggers know nothing about economics and blame everything on racism.
@@coincrazy3563 economics hell with racism fuckwad.
You think black people were given millions of dollars to keep up with white people after slavery? Hell no
Marlon Craft Type Beats OTW.....
This shit BRAZY!
I'll have to follow for that shit
I know I represent your older audience but you hit the mark with every word you speak.
You're a gang banger right?
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.
4:35 man
your comment is just amazing man.
...damn
@TCB no
@TCB hey man I'm down
Who else is here from hearing about him on MSNBC this s*** is raw I love it
same xD
@@frithnanth1337 the truth shall set us free
@Sylar Rogue listen to the music unbiased and you'll see that is true I'm tired of fighting ignorant people
@Sylar Rogue who cares what the news said about it you've been exposed to it judge for yourself you are your own person these rich f**** don't give a s*** about you or me
Yup, and I thought MSNBC was fake news, Well This as real as it gets. Craft got a new fan
These lyrics are amazing. This song is not given enough credit. He breaks down people so simple it's almost like we actually are.
Marlon, you are a poet, dear sir. I love how your music is beautiful and truthful. Bravo! You pulled all my heartstrings and made me cry.
Take a second to appreciate this man literally wrote from 3 perspectives and made it sound dope. Mad talent and great delivery
Hitler was a bad man

You are right. But he went for the easy stereotype. This would have been so much more dope if he would have shown them all the same
@@stratmaster921 ???
thats exactly what they did
theyre all the same doing gang shit, but only one of them really gets fucked for it
@@stratmaster921 nah bro fr i don't think you can put a klansman as the same as a black man dawg. being real wit u 😭😭😭
@@stratmaster921 and for the cop tho. well if you have good people in like criminal gangs man.. i guess you could have some good people in the force too. but it don't change the fact that the police force itself is a cautionary force to protect rich white people and their property against us who are the working class bruh . "ooh but cops die in conflits" so? no one asked you brah you could become a salesperson, a barber, a cook nah forget about what i said in the beginning fuck the cops bruh i was caught once graffiti tagging and the mf tried to frame me for drug dealing fuck'em
I feel like if I drove round my town banging this tune people would get the wrong message, especially that second verse😂
🤣
Yea kinda have to have the whole storie or it can made to be racist... just like the media
@@benjaminbreault9365 story*,i feel you
Funny if the 2nd guy is a modern day kkk member then he's arguing with himself.
I see an optimist then a pessimist then a realist.
Holy shit this dude has a fucking brain and uses it. And enough talent to blow it away. Holy fuck.
He has a brain because he politically agrees with you?
@@user-uu1nw1bl9j he's not even saying anything political. That's why I'm impressed. He's saying we're biased and tend to side with our friends even if it harms everyone and causes more fighting.
@@eatonkuntz well said.
Gettin’ to heart of the matter.
Saying what is really said from many perspectives. Respect ✊🏿
Hip Hop
We all ignoring the fact that this beat hard af?
It really is tho
like reading To Kill a Mockingbird and your only comment is "We all ignoring how fire the cover art is!?" no bro were not ignoring it it's just not the obvious topic of conversation
Nah this is harder czcams.com/video/A5dkyMdiI9M/video.html
Bruh yea this issa thicc beat
🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🔥
Bravo to the actors who memorised his bars. That's some intricate shit
Geggity geggity gaa
I am sending a gang gang message from Slovakia 🔥🔥🔥
Ari over at MSNBC has shed some light. This Brotha is rivetting, makes ya feel somthin'.
MSNBC/Ari, spit the truth everyday..Ari's ratings are through the roof with his audience(18-55 age group), while disgusting "Lil' white racist boi carson" of fake's(fox) propaganda show rating are ok with his "old dying" die hard white racist audience(60 and up age group)...what a contrast between the age group when it comes to truth and lies. The saving grace is the old racist are slowly dying(not fast enough though)!!👍🏼🙏🏼👼🏽
This song can't be more relevant.
the inability for people to try and put themselves in other peoples shoes is a big problem in this world right now, people not seeing different perspectives.
a lack of imagination or people not even trying... idk but its a problem.
@@getthegoods420 Exactly I hate when people say all unarmed blacks deserved a death for shit like fake money I also hate when people say all cops deserve the same for the other half of cops. 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 shit ain't new bro
@@allibababoo it ain't brotha, but today more than ever we need shit like this that points out racism and injustice point blank.
this the same exact song joyner lucas made in 2017, i'm not racist, but super questionable being performed by a white dude... i am mixed myself, shit maybe joyner is too, i felt your sentiment until i googled marlon. its not out right hate... it just don't feel the same, its feel exploitive... especially because of the times, i am glad this thing is 1 year old .
producer: alright john your going to say the n wor-
john: lemme not
Straight fire. Like yo, this song is wild. Craft a genius for this one. The premise of this song could get real tacky real quick but Craft's writing is fucking superb. Not to mention the production and the video. So well done from every aspect.
His wordplay is straight up SICK! "If they gone lie and steal, I'm gone make em lie from steel."........Wow
If you actually listened to this song and are reading comments... I love you
we are here
Luv u 2 boo boo
@Mack Carnes you know something is wrong when the same families hold many different offices of power
@Mack Carnes I think enough people are starting to see, especially when we have all this turmoil and extra time to think about it.
I love you more😍😍😘
This message wasn’t a year early, change was hundreds of years late.
Toke the Dude there is only us
Damn. Dropping hardcore wisdom dude.
Deep.
Things have always been and will always be changing.
Such is life.
What's changed? Watch the stage and miss the truth..... it's all part of the show. Anybody else been around since the LA riots in 92? Only thing changing is the back-drop. And the skinny jeans🤣

I've been deprived!
Masterpiece: lyrics, music and visuals.
why the hook gave me a 50 cent feeling?🔥🔥🔥
Poppin them thangs g unit
NY rapper
50 was a big influence on him.
More like joyner Lucas
"I am not gang gang, i do not gang bang" - 50 Cent (Get the Strap)
Marlon Craft: Aye, let me copy your homework real quick
*Joyner Lucas* : Aight, but switch it up a little so the teacher don't know
haha Im done!
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
bruh lmao
Facts
It's a different message completely. The only thing that's the same is that he's rapping a message from the perspective of another mind. Stop lowering another's artform into plagiarism, with that viewpoint no one would create amazing shit. That being said, there are people who blatantly copy that need to be exposed. But this aint it big fella
knew the 3rd verse was coming and knew it was going to be heat but damn
that joint was all 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Craft you a legend for this one
Why did I just find this after all the riots.....
Because maybe you're like looking for something to make since of these traumatic times and prepare or at least understand the storm soon to be here.
Cuz CZcams has our brains
After the riots? Shit ain't over yet!
I knew that this was out here. I just wanted to see who came back to see the video
Media and social platforms are doing everything in their power to shame police and hardworking americans. In an attempt to divide out country because we were so close to tearing down the 1% of the elite due to covid. But they won here we are all fighting each other.
BARS! With a sobering message. Damn, I'm speechless. No words!!!

I just heard about this man on the MSNBC, they were talking about his song " State of the Union", then that led my to this song. Music that gets you thinking. Both of these songs have a lot to offer to people who are listening. I like it, I'm glad I heard about it.
Me too same path... hopefully light the way down this path for the whole planet..
You heard hoodie weather? Must have by now I guess.
Wow! a rapper who's down with the times and laying down the truth, much love to ya, brother from another mother.

The sound is so mid-2000s G-Unit
Dude has said he grew up on G-Unit.
I couldn't agree more!! With a slight Obie Trice voice too
And the content is so mid-90s (bent cops), mid 1910s (clueless cockless clan), and mid 18th century (slavery). Yawn...
@@CharleyCarey That makes perfect sense.
True
One of the most amazing and underrated things in this video is the fact that the P.O and the KKK guys were at the dinner table with their families and the black family, the father was missing at dinner because he's in prison. Amazing imagery. Well done Marlon!
I have been robbed all my life good music. This hits on another level
Sorry That you been Robbed all your Life. Were you Rob by gangs. EVIL gangs
This production as a whole is just on another level. Even the ‘extras’ did a great job. Song is put together masterfully.
Fuckin goosebumps bro!!!!!!!
The fact that the song had the KKK play right after police and make them seem like they're allies they are not is kind of hypocritical but okay
minus the guys lyrics there is no message just abunch of of muble rap again lol
i trust u know what mumble rap is
@@alexbenson5883 like,what is the meaning of this???
Alex Benson Of course there isn’t going to be a message when you disregard the lyrics what do you expect? And this is not mumble rap in the slightest.
This song is so amazingly written and the video was so well executed to show the lyrics in action. Hands down a great thought provoking song 👏🏾
Mad respect sir. You speak the cold hard facts
Listening again after 5 months. Smartest song ever written. Mad art
"There's nothing in it for me to not treat it as a lie"

Yes sir
Why would we do that when we can say all cops are racist, Trump is in with the KKK and all black men are oppressed because "America is run by white men"?
This is getting slept on so hard
Truly
@Forsaken Pumpkin yea it's just a shame cuz this deserves recognition
Still
Deserves a Grammy tbh
Can we get a round of applause for everyone who played a role in this video? Respect for your bravery, cause there's a lot of people that would still hate before knowing what the message of this track is 🔥

What a load of shit .....
@@steebbrell835 Obiously everyone ain't like the song portrays, but the world can be hypicritcle af.
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)
We r either gangsters or thugs diffrence is r u w ur crew for better or worst or we doing what we gotta do either good or bad w the world against us but forreal this song is raw
I sing this to my farm animals every morning. Im still riding for my gang🐔🐮🐰🐖
It hits so hard when they show no one in the frame in front of the US flag after the third verse ends. Video is as good as the song, shakes me up
Kudos to Ari Melber on MSNBC, if it wasn't for him I might've gone all my life without hearing these rhymes or any other Marlin has written. Thanks.

Stay blessed america much love from around the globe 🙏
if this doesn't reach the same level as "This Is America" and "I'm Not Racist" i'm gonna be pissed
Facts 👌🏾
Dang it sucks
@Craig Johnson I agree. The message is very one sided without seeing both perspectives. Esp the police. The KKK dont have much going for them so I understand haha. But the song is really great!
Craig Johnson maybe cuz that’s not the message. I think you should read the lyrics.
@Nobody "..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.."
Man looks like Vincent D'Onofrio. That's Kingpin
Man I won't lie, I'm a poet and I've considered music for a little while... and this dude saying some really real shit. USMC here tatted too, lower income kid who didn't have a way and so chose one. When I came back tho, I didn't wanna get into LE at all.. I see the funnel... youth with heros in movies, into war, into policing your community.
this song is actually a fucking masterpiece So dope!
Marlon, you keep making songs like this and you will be the first rap artist I obsessively promote like there's no tomorrow.I come from a background of hardcore punk and folk punk, but god damn! Keep it up, you're incredibly talented!
Bro....just thought same thing... GEEEZUS. phenomenal
listen to more rap. it's good for your heart.
What hardcore bands you listen to?
I have been rubbing Marlon in anyone’s face who likes rap and fools who don’t since discovering his music. Thank you! Glad someone feels the same.
When the horns hit in that 3rd verse tho...damn.
This song is actually amazing how have I never heard of Marlon Craft til tonight
I can't help but see Wilson Fisk from Daredevil.
The whole time he was on screen I was trying to decide if it was him or not
dunno who this dude is but 1 , youre right , 2 hes an amazing actor.
Also private pyle
His name is Vincent D'Onofrio
😂
Never heard this before today. Haven’t been glued to a video like this since the 90’s. Amazing.
It is scarry how true this is. How long do you think before people loose their patience, I mean when one says "I got nothing to loose, there is nothin else you can do to me" and the first thing you feel in the morning is pain caused by other man. Can you imagine ?
Marlon is pushing all the right buttons for the people who do nothing but praise the fakers.
just wow... purest form of modern art; just left me here speechless..
"His gang got him jail, but mine got me home in bed." How can something so simple, be so hard for people to understand.
well what do you get about not doing anything illegal. It's morally wrong to be racist but nothing illegal about it. Everybody rides to die for something though right.
its actually "while my gang got me in jail yours got you home in bed"

Wow. So grateful to Ari Melber for turning me on to this guy. So grateful to Marlon Craft for calling out white hypocrisy in a way that people can hear/understand.
Damn. 😮
That shit needs to be heard by everyone.
This idea is outstanding. This song is outstanding. This video is Outstanding. This Marlon is Outstanding.
Just heard of this guy from the news and they were talking about the new one he dropped and wow.... Yea I am liking this sound. Excellent lyrics. Reminds me a bit of Immortal Technique in moments. Def feeling this.
Hell yeah
Yessss
Wat the new song he dropped
Reminds you of immortal technique??? Yo I broke bread with immortal back in the mid 2000s doing a even for World Trade Center first responders. You’re out your damn mind.
@@jameslector7099 this kids dope. But there really is only on immortal
I’m sure someone already said this but just wanted to say from one songwriter to another, Well Done. It’s a great song. I also love the video and how it illustrates what the lyrics are about.
That sax man
This has some Joyner and Adam Calhoun vibes.
Joyner, Marlon, Cordae would be a badass track
best fucking collab ever
Joyner yes. Adam not so much.
Adam is opposite of marlon
@@yezz-_-3570 Well he's talking about a couple of songs that were approximately the same topic. The problem is that Adam calhoun is a Trump supporter so his judgement is seriously bad.
Not gonna lie, he had me in the first quarter.
I have chills. This is incredible.
Oh sh!t, move the phuck over Eminen. Here comes Marlon Craft. Damn sho got some serious bars with 💯 FACTS!!! I love it!
Instantly had me at “tired of all these Nnnnn. let me NOT”
It's all about family, we as the human race is the ultimate family. We all in the same family.
I'm not a fan of rap, i'm a fan of teaching the truth for our minds so we can think differently, and this makes you think.
@Alex Israel It sure is.
If they gonna lie and steal
I'm gonna make them lie from steel
*Jesus Christ* 🔥
I had chills thanks msnbc for introducing me to this artist
Loser
I got put on MC by MSNBC too.
Haha right!?! Bro me too this guy is great
@@danic8073 lol poor soul , who is you are him?
Marlon, I've been following you for a couple years now and I've loved pretty much everything you've released. This song transcends it all, stylistically, lyrically, and in how it touches upon the most poignant issues America faces today. Thank you.
Put my thoughts into words perfectly. Big facts everything you said is true.
Bookshelf of Babel exactly. Thanks.
This sums it up perfectly!
lol Don't make fun of him like that.
This is one of the most profound hip hop vibes I've heard in years. This is top tier 🔥
Marlon Craft... you are a truth seeker and a spiritual teacher. Don't ever stop. Maybe, just maybe people will actually listen rather than just hear.
Bruh I'm too high to hear something this deep right now tf..
