Why do you burn down the community

Why do you burn down your own neigorhood

It's not ours!

We don't

Own

Anything!

Trevor Noah said it so beautifully last night

There's a social contract that we all have - that if you steal or if I steal - then

The person who is the authority comes in and fixes the situation

But the person who fixes the situation is killing us!

Another brother dead

Cops got him in the head

We March and scream till our eyes run red

Yet all we want is justice

Can you work the law for us this

Once and set a precedence

Instead you shoot a resident

Walking home from school

Our screams projecting drool

As we demand a fair trial

We're a people in denial and Jesus and his father haven't come around for a while

We pray a little harder and watch a sun dial

As a no knock raid takes out a grandchild

And the heat of the summer makes us protest just a slight bit longer

Than the last couple of times

We get tired of holding signs

But the cause never dies

Black lives matter till our voice box burst

Black lives matter another sister in a hearse

Black lives matyer slinging dick since birth

Black lives matter even if your soul hurts and you've

Hurt every body that you know as a result

My brother i forgive you

There's no need to hate yourself

I know you've been living like you got nobody else

I fuckin hate it

A situation supremacy created

We fight for equality, and our actions are debated

Sit ins and black outs, we're ridiculed and class clowned

And yet we come back ever stronger

Than before

As a race we've leveled up we'll be pawns no more

We've breached the back row trailing blood on checkered floors

Queens in the midst choose to fight for me and yours

And its doors to be exploded

Plans that need eroding

black tide in your corridors steadily corroding

You're falling and no ropes extend to lend a hand

Grab your bootstraps man! You can do this, man

Then my foot comes down and you feel my grand slam

You wobble to the shore I'm a tide at your door we're not the same

Thats what you'd like to keep believing

I'm on duty you're released your position I'm reprieving

I'm a human and I'm being - black in my existence

You're a human with no culture and a nation fuckin pilfered

You'd kill for, a chance to, maintain the status quo

I'm rolling up the dro so my brains don't fuckin blow

You demonize my smoke, my dreams, and all my hope

Fears a motivator when you can't escape the ropes

So if the social contract is broken, if the social contract is broken, why the fuck do I give a shit about burning your fucking football hall of fame, about burning a fucking target?

Ya'll broke the contract!

When you killed us in the streets and didn't give a fuck!

Four hundred years, we played your game and built your wealth

You broke the contract again

When we built our wealth

On our own

By our bootstraps

In Tulsa

And you dropped bombs on us!

When we built it in Rosewood and you came in and you slaughtered us!

You broke the contract!

So fuck your target!

Fuck you hall-of-fame!

As far as I'm concerned they could burn this bitch to the ground

And it

Still

Wouldn't

Be enough!

And they are lucky what black people are looking for is equality and not revenge

And they, try to say, that I'm lucky

Oh I'm lucky

But hey gotta say That I'm lucky

Maybe I'm lucky

And they, oh they'll say, baby you're lucky

You're just lucky

But please, don't believe

No ones that lucky

Never that lucky

I say, my sistas, protest no fuckin more.

I say my brothas, My boot on police doors

Give you something to fear

No chance to hear us anymore

Clutch your fucking purses.

We should put you all in hearses

You're even in the doctors and the nurses,

Spread eugenic curses

I stole the lightning don't confuse me with Percy

I spread it to the people,

Promethium evil,

Now when I choose to speak the swarms attack the steeples

We don't need religion to empower pressed and feeble

People who come together in the end we're fuckin regal

Unregulated fuck your glass just call me steagall

Got the senses of a bloodhound and a pack of fuckin beagles

It's a hairy situation gone and scamper to your hovels

We asked you for equality when we take it we'll make you grovel

Kneel when I look at you

I'll throw a book or two

Let me be honest, I think you should know

Behind your back buddy your wife was a hoe

For the cause

Gave them drawls

For the black life that's growing

Deep in her stomach

You should've been Knowing

That revenge was coming

It sweeps it's a storm

Carrying anger and pain and reform

Four hundred years in a bottle of coke

Shaken consistently, the top hasn't broke

But the gamble, the stakes, they could never be higher

Snoop Dogg would pass out trying to fly there

On clouds of pure kush, on a hill you should die there

With a kick and a push, I'm the greatest igniter

Decider of the outcomes when I weigh out the costs

As you flame on the web i aim for the top

Of the chain what's to gain trynna swim with little fish

There's a system to kill and it's gonna be a bitch.

And a half

And a third

And an eighth

Sixteenth

Thirty second

Sixty fourth

And they, try to say, that I'm lucky

Oh I'm lucky

But hey gotta say That I'm lucky

Maybe I'm lucky

And they, oh they'll say, baby you're lucky

You're just lucky

But please, don't believe

No ones that lucky

Never that lucky
