Marlon Craft - Gang Shit (Official Music Video)

[@MarlonCraft]

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

[@mattdeacon9580]

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."

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.

[@rogozov]

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

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.

[@TheMnimatt]

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.

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.

@@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.

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.

[@kariuksnjoro]

Sad that so many people watch this and their first instinct is to defend their race from some perceived attack rather than listen and try to understand what's being said. Whole lot of gang shit.

[@aonduine7473]

@Itchy Booger Gangs are tribalism... If you need to defend your race due to perceived superiority, that is a form of silent discrimination.

[@rip_specz646]

In chicago the biggest gang is the police and fuck them

[@kariuksnjoro]

@Itchy Booger maybe you might not be aware but supporting 'white' race has a very troubling history kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYG8Xnx4e6irq7M

No, people are just calling out the hypocritical garbage and lies that the song spreads. Plus, when did you gain the ability to see someone's race through the internet?

[@tjpurewal4387]

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

[@NickBair316]

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!
