Kanashii

They told me I'm guilty without being read my card

They pointing fingers like, "Hold up, he fits the profile

Of a brown man tatted up, he gotta pay the price"

They mean what they say, they don't care who you are (yea yea yea)

Go ahead, put him in cuffs

I can never stand quiet, I gotta speak my rights

They told me I'm guilty of the crime

Without being read the charges, yea, they put me in cuffs

They mean what they say, they don't care who you are

"You fit the description, go ahead, write him up, throw him the charge"

Yea yea

They told me I'm guilty without being read my card

They pointing fingers like, "Hold up, he fits the profile"

Go ahead, put him in cuffs

**Verse:**

Yea

Go ahead, put him the charge

They don't care who you are, you just another line in the system

Even if you ain't do the crime, they gon' make you do the time

Uhh, sitting in my jail cell, praying like, "Why it have to go down like that?"

Momma praying for me like I did something wrong

She telling me, "Turn your life around, walk on a better path" (yea)

I swear to God I ain't do no crime

Staying out the way, I'm just trynna stack my paper

Don't know nun else but that

Free all my brothers sitting in a cell right bout now

Many ain't do shit but fit the description of a brown or black man (yea)

They ain't have to go down like that

Welcome to America, land of the free

Free only if you got a light skin coat

That's nothing but the truth, I swear I gotta get it out

Yea yea yeaaa
