| I pray to God for surveillance
 | 
| 'Cause it’s been a problem and it’s still a problem
 | 
| I’ve been thinking about families
 | 
| No fathers; | 
| how they gon' live without them?
 | 
| And you can’t define them I don’t even want the right to remain silent
 | 
| In front the tyrant
 | 
| No real police is gonna shoot a passenger knowing there is a goddamn kid behind
 | 
| 'em
 | 
| Who gon' settle with 'em?
 | 
| Pure evil embedded in 'em
 | 
| There ain’t nothing but the devil in 'em
 | 
| And we always the hurt race
 | 
| If you gonna shoot first then you shouldn’t be a cop in the first place
 | 
| When it’s the time to create my child what the fuck am I gonna tell my son?
 | 
| What if he had an emergency and he’s scared to call 9−1-1, what he gonna do?
 | 
| And he walking on the sidewalk, rainfall with a book bag and an umbrella
 | 
| Ain’t no amount of hurt you give a lil boy gonna make shit better
 | 
| And for some reason everything you tell me is an excuse
 | 
| And for some reason having you on camera ain’t enough proof
 | 
| If you shoot me and I shoot back how the hell we gonna stay out the pain
 | 
| If you shoot me and I don’t shoot back they probably say I’m the blame
 | 
| If you shoot me and I shoot back how the hell we gonna stay out the pain (I
 | 
| know, I know)
 | 
| If you shoot me and I shoot back how the hell I’m gonna stay out the rain
 | 
| If they take my life and I can’t detain
 | 
| If I take your life and it seem humane
 | 
| I took off the rope and every single chain
 | 
| I can’t see my family never, please explain, yeah
 | 
| If they take my life and I can’t detain
 | 
| If I take your life and it seem humane
 | 
| I took off the rope and every single chain
 | 
| I can’t see my family never, please explain
 | 
| Please stay out the rain, please stay out, please stay out the rain
 | 
| Please stay out the rain, please stay out, please stay out the rain
 | 
| Please stay out the rain, please stay out, please stay out the rain
 | 
| Please stay out the rain, please stay out, please stay out the rain
 | 
| Please stay out the rain, please stay out, please stay out the rain
 | 
| Please stay out the rain, please stay out, please stay out the rain
 | 
| Please stay out the rain, please stay out, please stay out the rain
 | 
| Please stay out the rain, please stay out, please stay out the rain
 | 
| Everytime I see you now I feel fear, both hands up for a real prayer
 | 
| You can tell me that you still care, how I tried to run him in a wheelchair
 | 
| Don’t matter if my hand gotta degree in it, I need my hand to breathe in it
 | 
| I was told that you got my back, never known there was gonna be a knee in it
 | 
| Yeah, now that I’m trying to be alert and you looking in the skin but you can’t
 | 
| see the worth
 | 
| And they wonder if they days will get better, but nah I see it worse
 | 
| They want a brown face to avert, take a life and you can’t reimburse
 | 
| When you see a cop car, man you see a cop car
 | 
| When I see a cop car, I see a hearse, see the hurt in my eye look
 | 
| See the hurt in my heart look
 | 
| See the hurt in the son of a panther
 | 
| They kill us, we kill them, more definite answer
 | 
| But more people gonna die cause of this shit, just being realistic
 | 
| Pure evil walk the Earth everyday and I be checking logistics
 | 
| If you shoot me and I shoot back how the hell we gonna stay out the pain
 | 
| If you shoot me and I don’t shoot back they probably say I’m the blame
 | 
| If you shoot me and I shoot back how the hell we gonna stay out the pain
 | 
| If you shoot me and I shoot back how the hell I’m gonna stay out the rain
 | 
| If they take my life and I can’t detain
 | 
| If I take your life and it seem humane
 | 
| I took off the rope and every single chain
 | 
| I can’t see my family never, please explain, yeah
 | 
| If they take my life and I can’t detain
 |

 | 
| Should I take this umbrella out of my book bag
 | 
| Momma should just get soaked in justice, I smell the rain
 | 
| If I reach for it, then reach for the sky, the outcome is the same
 | 
| And do my life come second?
 | 
| With a history book in my hand, why is it to drop my weapon
 | 
| You under salary 140 hours a week
 | 
| I’m African-American 'til I’m under six feet
 | 
| How can I, raise my child under this pouring ass rain
 | 
| In fear that he’s in fear, and in fear doubting him three
 | 
| We all see where I’m going with this
 | 
| And why? | 
| Cause you gave me a kiss goodnight
 | 
| And I know that was a kiss goodbye
 | 
| Why is your shirt wet, and his shirt dry?
 | 
| Why is your shirt wet, and his shirt dry?
 | 
| Why is your shirt wet, and his shirt dry?
 | 
| Stay out the rain |
