Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You can shoot me from the back

See this black boy run

You can shoot me from the back

See this black boy run

You can choke me from the back

See this black boy run

See this black boy run

See this black boy run

[Verse 2]

Now gold things be the new chattel chains

No change from this game of free labor through pain

Can't you 'xplain why we slain, are we threats to your name

Your position in this game or traditions of the same?

[Verse 3]

Is it us who would run up on the Earth to free our name?

Is it you who would bear upon your chest the mark of Cain?

Is it we who have bent upon our knee to quell your shame?

Is it thee who gon' lie and say you like Barrack Hussein?

[Verse 4]

Can you 'xplain Bantu Biko died for us to shoot for free throws?

People's 'bout to go prison, people die so you can listen

To their culture through attrition and get eaten by the pistons

Of the system, I see privilege in your vision

I see money as your mission

[Verse 5]

You can shoot me from the back

See this black boy run

You can hit me from the back

See this black boy run

You can choke me from the back

See this black boy run

See this black boy run

See this black boy run

[Verse 6]

Now see us rolling, over credence that was stolen

By catchers that look like Holden

By bones of spirits broken

Our flesh is starting, it's molding

Yet our mouth's murmur the omens

Just watch as they search for totems

Parables upon the scale the size of oceans

[Verse 7]

Fuck your motion, fuck the sentence

Fuck the jury, you be renting

Fuck the privilege you're lamenting

Your 401k and pension

It's a tension that this country

Leaves in digital dispension

While they count up on my mentions

Like stars in different dimensions

[Verse 8]

You gon' ride with our decision

Or die while you repentin'

I see money as your mission

I see privilege as your vision

[Verse 9]

You gon' ride with our decision

Gon' die while you repenting

I see money as your mission

And I see privilege as your vision

[Verse 10]

You can see him holding up

See the black boy

You can see him rolling up

See the black boy

You can see him from the back

See the black boy run

You can shoot him from the back

See the black boy

[Verse 11]

See that black boy run

Now see that black boy run

See that black boy run

Now see that black boy run

See that black boy run

Now see that black boy run

See that black boy run

Now see that black boy run

See that black boy run

Now see that black boy run

See that black boy run

Now see that black boy run
