They kill us dead in the street

Outside so everyone sees

They stand and watch while we bleed

Black with a capital B

I know you wanted the badge just to feel like a big man

But it's never enough

Now you're holding a gun so you can do what you want

You want to use it on us

You'll point it straight at kid cause you're afraid of his skin

When he ain't done nothing

I see the fear in your eyes, I feel the hate in your heart

Murder's part of the job

Fuck 12

Fuck 12

Fuck 12

Had to burn it all down just to be heard

But we still ain't heard

Had to burn it all down just to be heard

But we still ain't heard

Had to burn it all down, that's what we've learned

But they still ain't learned

Had to burn it all down, that's what we've learned

But they still ain't learned

Had to burn it all down just to be heard

Had to burn it all down just to be heard

Had to burn it all down just to be heard

Had to burn it all down just to be heard
