All Rise

Yeah I was raised colorblind but all I see is red Bunch of cowards rockin' blue I think they need some tests Black man with a voice but all they see is dreads Hands up yellin' stop but all they see is threats Maybe we should just take a knee instead Rest in peace George Floyd and it could be me next Could be your brother or your cousin on the T.V. next Want to change the channel then be my guest Now let me take you back to 17 It's weighing hard on my chest and it's been effecting me I'm in the whip two blocks from my destination Cops pull me over where's license and registration So I pulled it out 'cause I'm riding clean Don't got a gun don't got no drugs don't even got no weed Now I ain't never been no pussy never been a sheep But it's hard to stop the wolves when it's time to eat So he tells me I need to step out But see I know my rights but I know it's about to go left now Hands on the wheel with a taser dart in my neck now Beat me up and cuff me commander was thinking checks out Put your hands behind your back but I couldn't move I mean I swear to God I couldn't move I thank the angel that told them they probably shouldn't shoot 'Cause fact is there's nothing these cowards wouldn't do I'm thanking God it wasn't gunshots I'm thanking God I was alive to take my mugshot Before that I was cool but now it's fuck cops 'Cause when you fuck with me and mine that's when the fun stops Somebody lied that night Being black and brown my only crime that night I'll never forget the way my mom cried that night Could've died that night homicide that night Damn Now I dare somebody try to tell me I was wrong You'll never fit into my shoes homie try them on I want peace until then I guess the fight goes on They try to tell me wrong place wrong time But I know it's all cap all lies Don't be trying to tell me all lives I been feelin' this way a long time Walkin' on eggshells hands tied You can call them handcuffs but they're mob ties Gotta come together all rise Until it change I won't be alright no What people don't understand is that minorities are scared Tired of being tired Tired of having to think twice before going into nice neighborhoods after dark Before driving to the store Before speaking up and defending ourselves Police is the biggest gang in the world and it's like taking a walk alone through the neighborhood everyday without protection The reason for these riots is to put fear back into the system 'Cause we're tired of the only ones feelin' it You feel me Organically Gifted
