Lyrics

Sandra Bland (Rest In Peace) Trayvon Martin (Rest In Peace) Philando Castile (Rest In Peace) Tamir Rice (Rest In Peace) One day everything will be over Uh This for my people (Yeah, yeah) One of these days things will finally be different Cause I'm still tryna imagine all the things that I have witnessed From time of my first cry, I been on a hit list But little did they know that I would grow up to be gifted Steady tryna cure the things that they don't know is sickness Running in they bloodline Longside privilege Telling you, the people tired of talking bout forgiveness So we gotta riot so they see that we ain't kidding Know they looking at what's going on Like what's the difference Bet that they would get it if it was one of their siblings Screaming that they can't breathe lying on the pavement Slowly dying While the people screaming out for justice But they ain't getting none, so they're left to be disgusted That's just how it was, so they thought we'd get adjusted But y'all supposed to be the ones that we knew we trusted Reaching for protection, in return getting nothing Then they wanna get mad when we cause a ruckus Taring up the city cause we way past flustered Tired of the many years that we have been hunted Treated like some animals, they kill us by the hundreds Tired of the target on my back, aim it elsewhere And if you shoot Then all we asking is you be fair Protect the youth and stop killing the ones that's left here Get off they neck and allow them to get some fresh air Open yo eyes and see the pain that you have caused here Look at all yo tactics Look at how they cause fear Look at how the tears cry Look at all the despair Look at how we made y'all After being brought here Everything we gave y'all Acting like you don't care We was tryna save y'all We was getting cold stares Filling up the graveyards Just another soul there Never thinking of the father figure that you stole there Only thinking of yourself Tell me what's the goal here Thought that y'all was down But I guess I shoulda known Swear Think you doing something But it's really going nowhere Stead we living every day In a steady warfare Y'all was steady playing chess We was playing four square Everybody playing games till the day the board clear Telling you, we ain't the same And it's something more here Gotta be the one to remind you of the score here Lemme list'em out George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Sandra Bland, Sean Bell, Eric Garner it never ends Cause of you, we'll never know who they could've been Good thing we got some memories beforehand They say, so you don't fall for everything You gotta stand Move ya feet and march on to the promise land So I'm screaming black power with my right hand Steady hoping one day that it'll all end Breonna Taylor George Floyd Ahmaud Arbery Michael Brown Eric Garner It goes on Black Lives Matter...
