Riot For Me

What if I was on my knees and executed by police What if I was being choked and they knew that I couldn't breathe What if I was in the cop car and was killed in the back seat With hands cuffed a lot behind me, y'all ain't losing any sleep Ain't nobody bout to riot for me, and that's a fact Ain't no protests with signs for me, cause I ain't black Ain't no hashtags online for me, or fighting back Ain't nobody bout to riot for me, bet y'all don't riot for me Ain't it demonic how the news make a piece of shit look iconic How ironic, if the ratings go up, so does the profits You can change the station, but the reading from the same script White man gunned down by police, ain't nobody play that clip No one gave a shit, I won't get no famous case I won't get no downtown monument where they paint my face I won't get no NFL jersey spot that say my name Oh that's right, since I'm white the situation ain't the same Black lives matter, Asian lives matter, Spanish lives matter Ain't allowed to say Caucasian lives matter Why? That don't fit the narrative, that would mean equality Truth in the mainstream media, that's mythology They been using my people, your people, good people, poor people Either we wake up or they gon' keep on using more people I tried to warn people, supply them the truth If the victim was me, y'all wouldn't riot and loot What if I was on my knees and executed by police What if I was being choked and they knew that I couldn't breathe What if I was in the cop car and was killed in the back seat With hands cuffed a lot behind me, y'all ain't losing any sleep Ain't nobody bout to riot for me, and that's a fact Ain't no protests with signs for me, cause I ain't black Ain't no hashtags online for me, or fighting back Ain't nobody bout to riot for me, bet y'all don't riot for me This is so exhausting, way the news talking It's like black folks only ones dead in coffins Black on black ain't a tragedy Guess news cameras ran out of batteries Live by the gun, die by the gun When it happens in the hood, y'all ain't saying none But soon as that trigger finger white, y'all be tearing shit up on the same night Say I ain't right, say I ain't white Let's say that I'm black Get pulled over, try to run away and scrap Reaching for the strap, but he get it first So I slug him in the face at the same time that it burst Now I'm just another reason to write a name on a shirt When the truth is I just got what I deserve When you playing dumb games than you win a dumb prize Unless it whites killing blacks, they don't give a fuck who dies When you gonna realize they just trying to divide us Red, white and blue, it's the colors that unite us Getting sick and tired of the looting and the riots When the truth is if I was dead, then y'all be dead silent What if I was on my knees and executed by police What if I was being choked and they knew that I couldn't breathe What if I was in the cop car and was killed in the back seat With hands cuffed a lot behind me, y'all ain't losing any sleep Ain't nobody bout to riot for me, and that's a fact Ain't no protests with signs for me, cause I ain't black Ain't no hashtags online for me, or fighting back Ain't nobody bout to riot for me, bet y'all don't riot for me
