Lyrics

If die under the hands of the police
I want riots in the streets, no justice no peace
Shit is deeper than beats, the blood on the leaves have dried up
The tears been all cried up, i woke my fuckin eyes up
Unlocked the chains off my wrist and woke my guys up
The vibe of my last political song was like "why us?"
Now its more "wise up, dont let these fuckers try us"
Or the prison system buy us, we traveling for trauma centers
But the prisons by us, im just hoping you see it
Handcuffs and a miranda right, im just hoping they read it
They killing us for sport, the video was on espn
Fuck fox news,and all the subliminal messaging
We getting traumatized on facebook live
Thats a murder right in front of yo eyes
I go to sleep its in front of my mind
I wake up im in the front of the line like thats mine
Like "thats mine, ****!"
I remember last summer
Running from the **** with rubber bullets and badge numbers
Crooked cops looking like gun movers and crack runners
Make a hashtag but white people taking that from us
All lives matter unless the lives have a black mama
White lies mixed with black drama
I cant even sleep where i grew up at
The block aint the same, the lead showers make it hot when they rain
The shit sounding like a thunderstorm. they locked up the gang leaders
So these gangbangers just gangbang for no reason
Dying over land that isnt theirs in the first place
Killing kids, now we gotta mourn on their birthday
We suffering from mental disorders in the worst way
Could you bury your babygirl and be okay?
Could you bury your babyboy and be okay?
And then the bill collector telling you to pay your way?
And then the government telling you to leave the country?
They want you gone but they really wanna keep yo money
They want you gone but wanna really keep yo style
They love when you dance, they dont wanna see you smile
They hate when you talk, but they wanna talk just like you
Self sustainabilitys incredibly vital
My mama used to tell me i should pick up a bible
But if david got a slingshot ima need me a rifle
And if noah got an ark, ima need me a car
Or better yet a spaceship cause every **** a star
And i promise every word, metaphor, every bar
They never met us but these motherfuckers know who we are
Black young man
Black woman
Black children
Your life goes on
Black people
Black heroes
(You can't stop what I'm gonna be!)
Black young man
Black woman
Black children
Your life goes on
Black people
Black heroes
Black children
Your life goes on
