lyrics

Hose Down feat Syne -

Hose Down
Hose Down
It be getting too hot
Too loud
Calling all my woes out
They all down
If it's getting too hot
It goes down
Oh, you gotta
Hose Down
Hose Down
It be getting too hot
Too loud
Throw it down now....

Verse 1 (Mr. Lif)

You don't wanna miss a good thing
You don't wanna miss a good thing
Pushing for the good things
For the queens & the hood kings
This is more like an uprise
Duck down for the surprise
Looking just like an uprise
It's a muthafuckin' uprise

In these troubled times
Trouble I'm seeing
Treason
Breaching every region
Easing
Right into your crib in the evening
Reaching
Every little breath of any air we're breathing

Inhale
Exhale
Death nail

Ahh Boy, shit about to get real
Ahh Man, it's really bout to get real
Ahh, yeah it's really gonna get ill

Wether White, Black, Asian
We're all caged in
Runaway the system raging
With all the funds they're raising
Making this mainframe
Better duck down
They're aiming

Hands up
But the cops shoot us now
They brutal now
It ain't coolin' down

That greed of the 1% grueling now
It ain't slowing down

Got me thinking
Was it better when they...

(Chorus)

Verse 2 (Akrobatik)
You don’t want to miss a good thing
You don’t want to miss a good thing
Pushing for the good things
For the queens and the hood kings
This is more like an uprise
Duck down for the surprise
Looking just like an uprise
It’s a motherfuckin’ uprise (Come on!)

Back in the day, before the A-K
They let the hose spray to sweep bros away
But they kept coming back harder
Stronger, faster, smarter - and many became martyrs
They just wanted to be part of something
And not feel like they fought so hard for nothing
But they just got put in their place
And ended up with a foot in their face
No hood, no book, no religion or race could ever save ya
Big time bread is the only savior
Otherwise - you’re just one of those other guys
If you don’t believe it, see the hands of a brother rise
Up but the cops still shoot him down
They brutal now - they don’t fool around
Traffic stop could lead to a funeral now
It’s unsuitable how it’s worse now than it was when they…

(Chorus)
