They Don't Care About Us

All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us (Don't worry what people say, we got the truth)

All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us (Enough is enough of this garbage)

All I wanna say is that they don't really care about us (They ain't in much better shape than us)

Skin head, dead head

Everybody gone bad

Situation, aggravation

Everybody, allegation

In the suite, on the news

Everybody dog food

Bang, bang, shot dead

Everybody's gone mad

All I want to say is that they don't really care about us

All I want to say is that they don't really care about us

Beat me, hate me

You can never break me

Will me, thrill me

You can never kill me

**** me, sue me

Everybody due me

Kick me, **** me

Don't you black or white me

All I want to say is that they don't really care about us

All I want to say is that they don't really care about us

Tell me what has become of my life

I have a wife and two children who love me

I am a victim of police brutality, no

I'm tired of being the victim of hate

You're raping me of my pride, for God's sake

I look to Heaven to fulfill this prophecy

Set me free

Skin head, dead head

Everybody gone bad

Trepidation, speculation

Everybody, allegation

In the suite, on the news

Everybody dog food

Black man, black mail

Throw the brother in jail

All I want to say is that they don't really care about us

All I want to say is that they don't really care about us

Tell me what has become of my rights

Am I invisible 'cause you ignore me?

Your proclamation promised me free liberty, no

I'm tired of being the victim of shame

You're throwing me in a class with a bad name

I can't believe this is the land from which I came

You know I really do hate to say it

The government don't want to see

But if Roosevelt was living

He wouldn't let this be, no, no

Skin head, dead head

Everybody gone bad

Situation, speculation

Everybody, litigation

Beat me, bash me

You can never trash me

Hit me, kick me

You can never get me

All I want to say is that they don't really care about us

All I want to say is that they don't really care about us

Some things in life they just don't wanna see

But if Martin Luther was living

He wouldn't let this be, no, no

Skin head, dead head

Everybody's gone bad

Situation, segregation

Everybody, allegation

In the suite, on the news

Everybody dog food

Kick me, **** me

Don't you wrong or right me

All I want to say is that they don't really care about us (We're deep in the fire)

All I want to say is that they don't really care about us (I'm here to remind you)

All I want to say is that they don't really care about us (Don't you sit back and watch the beatin')

All I want to say is that they don't really care about

All I want to say is that they don't really care about

All I want to say is that they don't really care about us
