Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Can't you see we living in a warzone?
'Cause you don't know the way your living in it
Like every weekend it's a man down
Ain't got no pity for the innocent
So I'ma represent it
Dedicated tell 'em
Hands up, can't breathe
Hands up, can't breathe
Hands up, can't breathe
Hands up, can't you see we're living in a warzone?
[Verse 2]
They left his body swinging in Piedmont
Had a klan rally day before
But that ain't mean that
Witness said suicide, I said genocide
Hey what you got a gun for
Boy, you ain't finna ride
Ain't running for you like Baton Rouge
Bet you finna hide
That's the difference 'tween us
I'd die to save a million lives
[Verse 3]
Appointed leader when nobody couldn't think of shit
I be a martyr if my great grand daughter benefit
They pull you over, ask you where your license at
Be careful reaching for it
You know you can die for that
And this ain't nothing new just got cameras so you can see the shit
Got Dr King and Abe Lincoln, asking where the freedom at?
This ain't no equality
Man you ain't got no justice on your mind
When you're shot at me
But fuck it
This the way it gotta be
[Verse 4]
Hey, listen you won't shoot at them then shoot at me
Boy, you are not a G
Imagine Trayvon, asking why you followed me
Feel threatened hit and whip 'em that's when he shot him down
Do that to a grown fucking man
Drop the way you saying
Tell my grandma go on with all that praying
If it's a God and He in the sky
He looking down, He understand
I'm just a man in a all in for revenge
But I don't get 'em it's like telling him, he gon' kill again
Keep fucking around it gon' be on in a minute
[Verse 5]
But we living in a warzone
And she don't know the way you're living in it
Like every weekend it's a man down
Ain't got no pity for the innocent
So I'ma represent it
Dedicated tell 'em
Hands up, can't breathe
Hands up, can't breathe
Hands up, can't breathe
Hands up
Can't you see we living in a warzone?
[Verse 6]
There goes that white boy, that ran in the old church
I hope you get slow murked
And they torture your slow fur
Ran in our place of worship to slaughter our grandma
Won't go kamikaze for that well what would should I die for?
Hold up
Highway
Heard it from buddy who took the fall for watergate
The war on drugs is just war on us
Gets all these guns, gets all these guns
Change all them law, lock all us up
Went from freeway Ricky on the BMF
And then hip hop came
That when we got Rick
A white kid gravitated to 'em like all us did
And that's when we got slick
Invented the technology to take our shit
Diluted all of the artistry
Pardon me, somebody tell me what happened to artist
Sterling killed Philando right in front every girl
And the world saw
Everybody reaction was, hell no
This modern slavery
The prison publicly traded
And the jig's up
The Constitution and Emancipation Proclamation
Just a fuckin' piece of paper
[Verse 7]
Can't you see we living in a warzone?
And she don't know the way you're living in it
Like every weekend it's a man down
Ain't got no pity for the innocent
So I'ma represent it
Dedicated tell 'em
Hands up, can't breathe
Hands up, can't breathe
Hands up, can't breathe
Hands up
Can't you see we living in a warzone?
