Lyrics
Yeah
I was raised colorblind but all I see is red
Bunch of cowards rockin' blue I think they need some tests
Black man with a voice but all they see is dreads
Hands up yellin' stop but all they see is threats
Maybe we should just take a knee instead
Rest in peace George Floyd and it could be me next
Could be your brother or your cousin on the T.V. next
Want to change the channel then be my guest
Now let me take you back to 17
It's weighing hard on my chest and it's been effecting me
I'm in the whip two blocks from my destination
Cops pull me over where's license and registration
So I pulled it out 'cause I'm riding clean
Don't got a gun don't got no drugs don't even got no weed
Now I ain't never been no pussy never been a sheep
But it's hard to stop the wolves when it's time to eat
So he tells me I need to step out
But see I know my rights but I know it's about to go left now
Hands on the wheel with a taser dart in my neck now
Beat me up and cuff me commander was thinking checks out
Put your hands behind your back but I couldn't move
I mean I swear to God I couldn't move
I thank the angel that told them they probably shouldn't shoot
'Cause fact is there's nothing these cowards wouldn't do
I'm thanking God it wasn't gunshots
I'm thanking God I was alive to take my mugshot
Before that I was cool but now it's fuck cops
'Cause when you fuck with me and mine that's when the fun stops
Somebody lied that night
Being black and brown my only crime that night
I'll never forget the way my mom cried that night
Could've died that night homicide that night
Damn
Now I dare somebody try to tell me I was wrong
You'll never fit into my shoes homie try them on
I want peace until then I guess the fight goes on
They try to tell me wrong place wrong time
But I know it's all cap all lies
Don't be trying to tell me all lives
I been feelin' this way a long time
Walkin' on eggshells hands tied
You can call them handcuffs but they're mob ties
Gotta come together all rise
Until it change I won't be alright no
What people don't understand is that minorities are scared
Tired of being tired
Tired of having to think twice before going into nice neighborhoods after dark
Before driving to the store
Before speaking up and defending ourselves
Police is the biggest gang in the world and it's like taking a walk alone through the neighborhood everyday without protection
The reason for these riots is to put fear back into the system
'Cause we're tired of the only ones feelin' it
You feel me
