Lyrics
It's about time now that we're changing the game
I did not come to play for the fortune and the fame
All of my people getting shot in the chest
So I came to protest so I can stay blessed
America overseeing what they can find out
Keeping us in check so they're not filled with doubt
So we'll scream and shout
Until the whole world is blacked out blacked out
Can you hear me
Can you hear my roar
200 years, my back is sore
From taking these steps in this harsh reality
Make a wrong move and I bounce through gravity
Why
Cause my skin is perfect
You tried to convince me that I'm not worth it
You can't be me so you want me dead
But here's the big truth I still bleed red (I still bleed red)
I see God's people and I'm never gonna stop it
All you care about is the money in your pocket
But that land that you stand on
It was built by the blacks that you stand on
Hands-on throat (throat)
Knees on neck (neck)
Bullet to the head just to sign another check
America home to the greedy the power the hungry
Can y'all believe that the year is 2020
Now it's 1960, 50, beforehand
Before blacks and whites could hold hands
MLK said that peace is right
But X taught us that it's time to fight
It's about time now that we're changing the game (yeah make America great again)
I did not come to play for the fortune and the fame
All of my people getting shot in the chest
So I came to protest so I can stay blessed
America overseeing what they can find out
Keeping us in check so they're not filled with doubt
So we'll scream and shout
Until the whole world is blacked out blacked out
I don't wanna play this way
This ain't just a fight for change
I want you to see my face
I want you to know my name
by killin' me but kill yourself
Steal the dream you steal your wealth
You chainin' me you chain yourself
You chainin' me you chain yourself
Sorry this be like show n tell
To tell the truth that ain't told, well
By stealin' me you hinder yourself
Bet that's the truth that no one else sells
I know all the emotions ya'll felt
I know some don't see us that well
Let me say you need us, can't tell
Let me tell you why, oh well
I've got something no one else got, ideas big born from the Rock
Irreplaceable on the spot, so let me say it's something ya'll want
Un-erasables on the block, ideas in our head wanna talk
If you shoot em down they gone
Then all we'll do is ask what we lost
I don't want to hate I don't want to wait
I just want to stay with the generation for change
It's about time now that we're changing the game
I did not come to play for the fortune and the fame
All of my people getting shot in the chest
So I came to protest so I can stay blessed
America overseeing what they can find out
Keeping us in check so they're not filled with doubt
So we'll scream and shout
Until the whole world is blacked out blacked out
