Lyrics
Oh
Mmm, Yeah
Oh oh oh
If it ain't the virus then its violence
Too much silence in the air
Our people scared, feels like nobody cares
If you wanna close the distance
And you're white then it's all fine
If you're not, you crossed a line
We shouldn't dare and it's not fair
We shouldn't have to worry when we go outside the house
Built this country on our backs
They just keep breaking us down
It's 2020, what the hell is that about?
I'm trynna figure out
How is the land of the free and the home of the brave (huh)
Built off the backs of the slaves?
Black man shot every couple of days
They see you run and put you in a grave
People dying, mommas crying
It's no longer underlying
And to keep on justifying
So we gotta keep on trying
Rest in peace to all the angels that we lost
We're gonna fight to do what is right
No matter the cost
How can this be, the land of the free
Without justice? (justice)
No justice, No peace (no peace)
No Humanity
How could you want this?
Living in a system when you're constantly the victim
Too much to comprehend so you start to pretend
That you talk a certain way, try not to run just walk away
Keep that hood up off your head
You do everything to plan
We shouldn't have to worry when we go outside the house
Built this country on our backs
They just keep breaking us down (us down)
It's 2020, what the hell is that about?
I'm trynna figure out (out)
How you gon' sit on the side while these killings go by?
Like you not down for the ride
You hear the stories all you give is a sigh
We protest the streets and you wanna know why
Because people dying, mommas crying (oh)
It's no longer underlying (underlying)
And to keep on justifying
So we gotta keep on trying (keep on trying)
Rest in peace to all the angels that we lost (lost)
We're gonna fight to do what is right
No matter the cost (no matter the cost)
How can this be, the land of the free
Without justice? (justice)
No justice, No peace (no peace)
No Humanity
How could you want this?
Want this
How could you want this?
Want this
No, how could you want this?
Want this
