“100 Miles and Runnin’”
[above1] [youtube clipid=”hdv3HLBNc9Q” autoplay=”0″] When you write lyrics in a song such as “100 Miles and Runnin’ (one of the main singles from N.W.A’s five-song EP of the same name) that “Point blank – they can kizz my black azz/I didn’t stutter when I said “F*ck Tha Police”/’Cause it’s hard for a n*gga to get peace,” you knew they were not playing around. Like most of their music expressed at the time, “100 Miles and Runnin,’” followed a continuous theme to listeners: gaining respect and dignity in light of racist police tactics and brutality. [ad2]
