I'm pissed off Really pissed off So many names I could list off How many more murders till it really hits y'all? What it means to be black in America? The fact that you could overlook the facts is embarassing It's twice the rate of police killings No comparison Took all this for you to act like you care again?! Moment of silence So many brothers that we lost to the violence Lean upon your neck is how they check for compliance Say you're short of breath, and in a second, you dyin' So if you hit me with that, "Not all police are that bad I mean, like, what about my cousin's friends dad?" My problem ain't with everyone that wear a badge Just the one's that wanna abuse the power that they have I could've stayed quiet Could have probably acted like I wasn't phased by it Posted 'bout the new project while they riot But that ain't the type of thinking how to change climates Ughhh, you either part of the problem or the solution And anybody could play a part in the revolution You do it with your money You battle it with your voice 'Cause at this point I don't really think we have a choice This place called "Tobacco Road"
