They Said He Had A Gun (feat. Joey Bada$$ & KayCyy)

No justice, no peace

They said he had a gun, yeah, yeah

Black lives matter too

But he ain't have no gun, nah, nah

No justice, no peace

Yeah

They said he had a gun, yeah, yeah

But he ain't have no gun, nah, nah

I feel bad for his moms, yeah, yeah

Two funerals in one month

She running out of funds

He was only pickin' up his phone

And now he can't make up his last call home

And you know it's not his fault

Blame it on the system 'cause they want to see us fall

They label us the victim when they cannot prove us wrong

'Cause all that money that she saved

She spent that on your grave

When she saved it for your school, but now her babies on the news

Shot down by the boys in blue, not even a rival crew

Lawyers said just file a suit, but this is how they'll title you

As a black livin' wack bumpin' rap

Drinkin' yak, selling crack, this a fact, we're victims under attack

You suspicious 'cause your hoody low

But it's winter though

And it's cold out, you only pulled your phone out

Now you on the ground, siren sounds, brains blown out

What they know about comin' out your own house?

Just to get a snack, bullets in your back

He ain't make it back, just because he black

They said he had a gun, yeah, yeah

But he ain't have no gun, nah, nah

I feel bad for his moms, yeah, yeah

Two funerals in one month

She running out of funds

He was only pickin' up his phone

And now he can't make up his last call home

And you know it's not his fault

Blame it on the system 'cause they want to see us fall

They label us the victim when they cannot prove us wrong

Rest in peace, Kimani Gray, yo

He was only sixteen when he got his halo

Rest in peace

They said he had a gun up on him, that's just what they say though

Still ain't find fingerprints on it till this very day though

It's like we six feet to the grave from the cradle

Summertime, we use to play though

We was buildin' on the block 'cause we ain't have no LEGOs

We was chillin' in the plot when it got fuego

Hot-headed cops made us stop, drop and lay low

Hopping out of drops, gettin' stopped by the plain clothes

They shoot us down but they never shoot our angle of it

The irony of it, that's why they call it news coverage

That's why we thuggin', ****

They said he had a gun, yeah, yeah

But he ain't have no gun, nah, nah

I feel bad for his moms, yeah, yeah

Two funerals in one month

She running out of funds

He was only pickin' up his phone

And now he can't make up his last call home

And you know it's not his fault

Blame it on the system 'cause they want to see us fall

They label us the victim when they cannot prove us wrong

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, he ain't have no gun

So why you shoot if he ain't have a gun?

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, when will this be done?

Would it kill you if you let that man live?

Would it kill you if you let man free?

Would it kill you if you let that man be?

Would it kill you if you let that man free?

Would it kill you if you let that man live?

They said he had a gun yeah yeah

But he ain't have no gun, nah, nah

I feel bad for his moms, yeah, yeah
