lyrics

The government, the government’s looking for peace and calm
They find calm, They drop bombs
No cause for alarm. Yeah, like Vietnam
No, I’m not alarmed I just concerned

Who’s gangbanging in my bed
Arise and shine ya sleepy head
Cause Uncle Sam’s taking candy from ya
Baby sometimes dont it make you wonder

He’s comin and stepping to me
Tell me ta “Be all you can be son”
U-S-A, I know a gang when I see one

They give you twelve weeks for your so called trainin
Its just a initiation into the gang and
Then you get your colors and a peace sign
A slice of apple pie - Now ya on the front line.

chorus
Don’t even trip
Its the Bloods and the Crips
Uncle Sam and his crew
They’re gangbanging too


Just to make it just a little clearer
First we gotta look behind the man behind the mirror
Lets talk about the gangs and the government
Have you do a double take like you chewing double mint

Well Imma blow a bubble for your trouble
Watch it pop
Gang violence has got to stop
and I’m not just talking bout the Bloods and Crips
Come with me and we’ll take a little trip
to the flip side where hides the other gang
They should be out guarding us
But they out doin other things
Like Bierut or Vietnam
Yo, Ho Chi Min or Saigon
The government’s getting paid to get their swerve on
Your Uncle Sammy’s doing wrong ya

chorus

Listen, listen, listen
I got something cookin in the kitchen
But don’t touch the pot cause its piping hot
What you think you see, really is not
Now here comes a clue
The Bloods wear the red, the cops wear the blue
And don’t be surprised duke
The Army, the Navy, they gangbangin too
Just on a higher scale
The Government’s got wars for sale
To the highest bidder yo
They on a crazy mad money-making free for all
If you wanna know how I want my tax money spent
Its getting rid of the gang and the government
Its getting rid of the gang and the government

I pledge allegiance the flag
of the United States of East Compton
To the blood for which it stands
One nation under God
Indivisible
With liberty and justice for all
that can afford it
