Sprinkler System

[Chorus]
I gotta get wet, get some respect
I’m making cheddar yea but I’m risking my neck
I gotta get wet, get some respect
I’m making cheddar yea, but I’m risking my neck

[Verse 1]
The sprinkler system got all my homies wet
Minority traps sprung, some of you won’t forget
Being locked down for the crime commit
They say all dope charges guaranteed to stick
Conspiracy seems to catch all my dogs
Just like dominos all seem to fall
Tougher on crime more time they want
Big moneys in the prison no time to front
They never built the prisons to be empty
Wasn’t made by none of us, but it was made for me
Chance taker from the hood that don’t want to be broke
The one the police look at under the microscope
Ain’t doing nothing wrong, they don’t understand
Just playing the game that was given by the man
Didn’t ask for the dope to raise up around here
But for sho can get dope easier than beer

[Chorus]
Don’t let the water from the sprinkler get you wet
Red and blue lights with sirens, you just can’t forget
Somebody shut off the water, its flooding my set
I’m burning up in my hood so I gotta get wet
Don’t let the water from the sprinkler get you wet
Red and blue lights with sirens, you just can’t forget
Somebody shut off the water, its flooding my set
I’m burning up in my hood so I gotta get wet

[Verse 2]
Ten of thousands died over thirty years ago
In Vietnam on they own they would never go
You die for fools that you never even seen before
Protect the south from the north
It’s the reason for war, soldiers locked up
But don’t just let him out
POWS of war is what I’m talking about
In my hood they got Vietnam in full effect
Soldiers running through the streets wearing
Bullet proof vest, spending hell of cash
To keep me from being free
Making money on off my ass for containing me
Locking me up for years for having a gun
I wasn’t worried about my life; I wasn’t having it son
Hot on my block and hell a worried too
Cops feel the same way, cause its them or you
Cause Twenty-Five years is too long to make her wait
My girl gone find another if I go up state

[Chorus]
Don’t let the water from the sprinkler get you wet
Red and blue lights with sirens, you just can’t forget
Somebody shut off the water, its flooding my set
I’m burning up in my hood so I gotta get wet
Don’t let the water from the sprinkler get you wet
Red and blue lights with sirens, you just can’t forget
Somebody shut off the water, its flooding my set
I’m burning up in my hood so I gotta get wet

[Verse 3]
Fools don’t see crack as an epidemic
Why don’t you govern that, with your government?
I call it yours cause it can’t be mine
To many things I think is wrong, you will never find
Cocaine is the foundation of every bad hood
Cops die for nothing without doing no good
Soldiers going blind never seen the light
If you see dope daily how could it not be right
If you get your job right in the government
And keep a tight record on the money you spent
Raking out millions just to tour with me
Cause I keep worked myself up to a whole key
Fly back over to the private fields
Where nobody is concerned with the cocaine deals
Then you would know for sure if you stopped it there
I wouldn’t be serving on this block
Pushing it playa

[Chorus]
Don’t let the water from the sprinkler get you wet
Red and blue lights with sirens, you just can’t forget
Somebody shut off the water, its flooding my set
I’m burning up in my hood so I gotta get wet
Don’t let the water from the sprinkler get you wet
Red and blue lights with sirens, you just can’t forget
Somebody shut off the water, its flooding my set
I’m burning up in my hood so I gotta get wet
I gotta, I gotta, I gotta get wet
I gotta, I gotta, get some respect
I gotta, I gotta, make this cheddar yea
I’m risking my, risking my, risking my neck
I gotta get wet, get some respect
I’m making cheddar yea but I’m risking my neck
I gotta get wet, get some respect
I’m making cheddar yea, but I’m risking my neck
