Divided we stand , united we rise

If we all pay attention to the nation we hide

Kneeling down can't change all the rage I feel , I can't fight , physicality is why y'all here

I thank God everyday cause my skin matters

We had enough , everybody on the same chapter

The same page Freddie Gray could've read after

But he's gone now , George Floyd is the one making us stand up Black Power

We can't take the police force , tired

Listen to our riots

I wrote this song for Aiyana Jones , a young victim taken away by y'all handguns

This is a coordinated activity happening across this nation

And so we , are in a state of emergency

Black people are dying , in a state of emergency

We cannot look at this , as an isolated incident

The reason why buildings are burning are not just for our brother , George Floyd

They're burning down , because people here in Minnesota

Are saying to people in New York to people California , to people in Memphis

To people all across this nation-

"Enough is enough"

I don't wanna make this sentimental

I was sent to give you knowledge understand I am with you

Protesting through a song , marching blocks with my people

Being seen , heard when the rocks broke the window

For me to know you posted up Sandra Bland make me feel unsafe

As a black American in this scary landscape

Stop saying that we carry guns with our hands up , now we stand up-

Screaming "Fuck twelve!"

No hesitation in the words that we speak

Only defamation for the police , killing my brothers in the streets

Peace couldn't make change

I can't sleep knowing everything still remains

I'm too tired

Sean Bell couldn't marry his queen instead shot down dead fifty times in Queens

What does that say?

Nah MOTHERFUCK A COP , I ain't finna let it go , my people warned y'all to stop

And for y'all looting objects

Stealing free shit in the process-

Enjoy them little Nike's that you got

Better that than not , realizing brand in a box other than a life or lives

Taken from a shot or shots or physicality

Feeling down and out you see thousands

The Martins overtaken by The Malcolms

The Farrakhans preaching even shouting , I'm in all the categories

Angry but the peace is making me unbalanced

I can't really wrap my head around it

You serve and protect yourself when nothing ever happens

You pull a gun - pop Johnathan for coming at you and you serve eleven years , for twelve rounds blasted?

Giving all my love and admiration to the mothers being strong

Never have to face a racist cop alone

I felt Cameron tears falling down my cheek

I was sixteen thinking bout my dad that week

As a world we're together but-

Black Lives Matter

We never say it out of selfishness or to be malice

We say it to empower each other as black citizens

And for the cease , of cops handling shit again

(Lyrics that didn't make it , but is impactful to me)

I want to walk alone like Clifford

I want to plan a party like Reese

I want to ask a simple question like Randy Evans

I want to cash a check like Yvonne

Can I take my wallet out like Amadou?

Maybe I would love to enjoy New Years like Mr Grant

Then walk home like I'm Trayvon Martin

Play loud music like Mr Jordan Davis

Shop at Wal Mart like I'm Mr John Crawford

Be Tamir Rice , and play around as a kid , stand next to my car like I'm Terrence

Have a cellphone like I'm Stephon Clark

Relax in my own home like I'm Mr Sean

I wanna look outside like Mrs Jefferson

Maybe take a little jog like Amaud

Live life happily and free and not worry about a cop harassing me I'm too annoyed

We're tired of it , Rest In Peace George Floyd
