Lyrics
I'm all out of modesty no Apologies
Doctors perform a lobotomy
Shot in the back ain't equality
Driving while black then they'll probably
Stop an artery or it's hard to breath
Make it alive it's a lottery
Taking a life thats a robbery
Die of old age is a fantasy
They got cameras on
And their weapons are drawn
Watching are citizens more living witnesses
Ready to testify but it's no sentencing
Judge and the jury have said that their innocent
All of them white and the lawyers defending them
All of the victims the color of cinnamon
These are not synonyms
This is a system aquitting them
Shudda at least got da minimum
Waters are no longer simmering
This is as thick as a Pendleton
News only cover Kate Middleton
Families are trembling this is why we are assembling
We being robbed of our innocence
And our communities hemorrhaging
They get to walk like Zimmerman
They get to murder our children
While we just watch and film em
Eye gotcha
Hope we got each other
When the lights come
And the flashing colors
And the night comes
Of another brotha
Who got shot & killed
By an undercover
Eye gotcha
Hope we hold it down
While they loading rounds
We can stand our ground
We can stand but stand for a purpose now
We can work it out
But the time is now
Everyone wanna be us
But not to be treated like us
Not to be beaten like us
All of they women they lust
Our color our lips our swag
Our creativeness start a hashtag
Put our contributions in a trash bag
And our constitution that'll come last
Where's our retribution yeah it been passed
Exercise our rights like a gym class
I bring this to life with a pen and pad
And the pen is still going like the pen is mad
This da Pitts but it's not Brad
This da shit that is so sad
I think of this shit and I go mad
I am a man 1st then a boys dad
I'm the boys Brad I'm the man that I never had
And my dad was irrelevant
Moms shouldered the load it was evident
Now I carry that weight like an elephant
Eye gotcha
Hope we got each other
When the lights come
And them flashing colors
And the night comes
Of another brotha
Who got shot & killed
By an undercover
Eye gotcha
Hope we hold it down
While they loading rounds
We can stand our ground
We standing but stand for a purpose now
We can work it out
But the time is now
Eye gotcha
Hope we got each other
When the lights come
And them flashing colors
And the night comes
Of another brotha
Who got shot & killed
By an undercover
Eye gotcha
Hope we hold it down
While they loading rounds
We can stand our ground
We standing but stand for a purpose now
We can work it out
But the time is now
