BITE BACK

I saw like four, five, police cars on the 405 Fly by in code Three time to hold the line They see the weapon in you No sudden moves if you do Our very bodies are shotties Wait 'til we use our minds Woke up this morning To people mourning Another brother they murdered just as a warning That if we speak up About how they treat us They'll do it over and over Until we bite back This time we bite back So let's bite them back This time we bite back They'll do it over and over Until we bite back Fuck forgiveness, god's a witness and she has seen it all That's your Jesus Those light features don't look like me at all I want more pictures of we In books that teach history I want to be there when the final racist statue falls Woke up this morning To people mourning Another sister, we miss her Tensions are soaring This time we speak up Make sure they see us They just gon' beat us, won't feed us Until we bite back This time we bite back So let's bite them back This time we bite back They'll do it over and over Until we bite back That gospel for which you have and Continue to benefit from is the curse By which we continue to be destroyed So please Please stop preaching that painful privilege gospel And let us live free Free of the anxiety we experience Knowing our bodies will be targeted and destroyed As if to serve as a symbol of the power They have convinced us we do not possess Our beautiful bodies like trophies Paste upon the mantle of a collapsing structure But we are the fucking trophies And we are the fucking make this stop Let's fucking bite back This time we bite back So let's bite them back This time we bite back They'll do it over and over Until we bite back This time we bite back Let's fucking bite back This time we bite back They'll do it over and over Until we bite back Bite back
