Lyrics

(1st Verse)
Why comin' 'round my hood'll get you hit?
Youngsters out here starvin', just see you as Licks
Lately I've been feelin' like a glitch
Why most that look like me up in the system?
This strategic, not an accidental coincidence
Not teachin' financial literacy is illiterate.
Why you wanna kill me when I look just like you do?
Hate you for what, King?
We've been lied to, (We've been lied to, We've been lied to.

(Pre-Chorus)
Hate me, keep from knowledge you know
unify, dominant what they tried to withhold.
The greatness to influence endangers them.
Destroy you and steal your true inheritance, win, POWER!

(Chorus)
Man, Yo OPP, Man, Yo OPP
Ain't them getters around the block
Man, Yo OPP, Man, Yo OPP
Ain't them youngsters that you shot
Man, Yo OPP, Man, Yo OPP
Ain't an addict or a cop
It's that Hitter in the mirror that's
been brainwashed from the start.

Man, Yo OPP, Man, Yo OPP
Ain't the judge who sent you up
Man, Yo OPP, Man, Yo OPP
Ain't the family that didn't love
Man, Yo OPP, Man, Yo OPP
Ain't the baller with fly stuff
It's the war inside your soul
against the evils gripping hold.

(2nd Verse)
They fed us lies on a dirty plate of hate
Sealed a brother-versus-brother fate, fate, fate, fate.
A prison industrial, a mental cage,
Our own reflection, the ultimate outrage.
We chase a legacy of trauma, not treasure
Measure manhood by the hood standards
The real opp's the voice that says, "you ain't good enough."
No, getting no generational wealth.
We've been lied to!
(We've been lied to, We've been lied to.)
We've been lied to!

(Pre-Chorus)
Hate me, keep from knowledge you know
unify, dominant what they tried to withhold.
Your greatness to influence endangers them.
Destroy you and steal your true inheritance, win, POWER!


(Chorus)
Man, Yo OPP, Man, Yo OPP
Ain't them getters around the block
Man, Yo OPP, Man, Yo OPP
Ain't them youngsters that you shot
Man, Yo OPP, Man, Yo OPP
Ain't an addict or a cop
It's that Hitter in the mirror that's
been brainwashed from the start.

Man, Yo OPP, Man, Yo OPP
Ain't the judge who sent you up
Man, Yo OPP, Man, Yo OPP
Ain't the family that didn't love
Man, Yo OPP, Man, Yo OPP
Ain't the baller with fly stuff
It's the war inside your soul
against the evils gripping hold.

(Bridge)
Look past the color to change
all the same design.
Yo, Opps, not a person its a state of mine.
The real gangstas where ties and write the laws
while we fight the symptoms, ignoring the cause,
Smarten up, y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all. POWER!

(Chorus)
Man, Yo OPP, Man, Yo OPP
Ain't them getters around the block
Man, Yo OPP, Man, Yo OPP
Ain't them youngsters that you shot
Man, Yo OPP, Man, Yo OPP
Ain't an addict or a cop
It's that Hitter in the mirror that's
been brainwashed from the start.

Man, Yo OPP, Man, Yo OPP
Ain't the judge who sent you up
Man, Yo OPP, Man, Yo OPP
Ain't the family that didn't love
Man, Yo OPP, Man, Yo OPP
Ain't the baller with fly stuff
It's the war inside your soul
against the evils gripping hold.

(Outro)
Yo Opp
Is the face in the glass
The last one left when the sirens pass
Yo Opp is you staying spiritually blind,
in an unnecessary war to exterminate your own...POWER!


(Chorus)
Man, Yo OPP, Man, Yo OPP
Ain't them getters around the block
Man, Yo OPP, Man, Yo OPP
Ain't them youngsters that you shot
Man, Yo OPP, Man, Yo OPP
Ain't an addict or a cop
It's that Hitter in the mirror that's
been brainwashed from the start.

Man, Yo OPP, Man, Yo OPP
Ain't the judge who sent you up
Man, Yo OPP, Man, Yo OPP
Ain't the family that didn't love
Man, Yo OPP, Man, Yo OPP
Ain't the baller with fly stuff
It's the war inside your soul
against the evils gripping hold.

Yo Opp
Is the face in the glass
The last one left when the sirens pass
Yo Opp is you staying spiritually blind,
in an unnecessary war to exterminate your own kind,
kind kind, Yo Opp!
