Lyrics

Yo what is it Scru Face Jean say? Gotta spit it slow so they can hear it fast (Gotta make sure they hear this one!) Nowadays I'm feelin' sad because there's so much change we gotta make But now, guess that I'm just glad that we'll cooperate I'm tired of seein' brothers and sisters from all around Gettin' gunned down just because their skin is brown I said I'm tired, of all this social injustice Tell me how you justify it when somebody's outnumbered And held down by their neck when they say they can't breathe You're cutting lives short with a force you can't see We cry out for our mothers and you just won't fuckin' listen This illustrates a bigger problem and we gotta fix it A hatred of color from people claimin' to be Christians If you really followed God, you wouldn't hate his creations I'm not tryna sound hateful, I just want you to see That contradicting what you preach is simply hypocrisy And I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared at some points For my people of color, because you've taken their voice I know my skin prevents me from fully knowin' your struggle But I'm marchin' in the streets, taking part in the hustle I'm right beside you protestin', fighting for change Imma make them understand so let me set up the stage, okay Put yourself in the shoes, a black parent with their newborn Drivin' home from the hospital, it's a new morn And suddenly, lights behind you start to flash And your heart falls fast, but you ain't doin' nothin' bad You just know, that this ain't no coincidence He pulled you over for no reason 'cuz of your pigment And now you gotta wonder if you'll make it out alive He's angry at your skin tone, but that ain't a crime He's askin' for your wallet for some identification But the second you go to move he's got his iron set and aimin' A chill runs down your spine as you freeze in your tracks He senses hesitation, he pulls the trigger and blasts (Pow!) Now your child grows up without you, it hurts in their soul And they try to move on to have a somewhat stable home But now it's just too late, the system feeds off of hate Because you're trapped inside a system that makes you poor for your race In terms of all the struggle, that's the tip of the iceberg I know I'll never understand, but I'm gonna fight for Justice and equality, I'm marching by your side Your heartbreak and your struggle will not go unrecognized We're all in this together I know it's fucking terrifying at times But I've got your back We're all in this together Black lives matter, and we stand as one They cannot silence us They can scare the weak, but they cannot silence the strong
