| By the system I was raised
|
| Same system that enslaved us and took us all away
|
| Same same system I was trained to put my hands across my heart and pledge
|
| allegiance to the grave
|
| The same system that made me sing the national anthem
|
| While the fucking flag hanged
|
| The same system that’ll claim innocent lives
|
| Barack ain’t made shit change
|
| Nigga fuck this shit, I won’t budge!
|
| Shit, I won’t budge
|
| They say Rosa Parks was sitting on the wrong bus
|
| And now that Malcolm X is gone, I guess it’s on us
|
| Fuck a cop, they gon' kill us then they charge us
|
| They gon' charge us
|
| Pull that fucking badge out and say it’s all love
|
| But I got six warning shots to my heart, lungs, face, neck, cough blood
|
| Now they say we all thugs
|
| I guess we all thugs
|
| Ever since the Watts Riots, motherfuckers wanna try us
|
| Everything was all quiet til they crossed us
|
| Al Sharpton keep on talking, nigga do something!
|
| Nigga prove something
|
| So much drama, I just got the fucking goosebumps
|
| Word down to Ferguson, they murderin' the youth young
|
| What the fuck is new, son
|
| This shit gon' make me lose some’n
|
| This a war we won’t back down
|
| Fuck this country, we ain’t treated fair
|
| I should burn the fucking flag down
|
| Yeah, I should burn the fucking flag down
|
| But your victims lash out, they have no clue
|
| But if I protest, a nigga’ll put me in a stretcher
|
| Gun me down with my hands up screamin' «DON'T SHOOT!»
|
| Motherfucker, don’t shoot!
|
| By the system I was raised
|
| Same system that just killed Mike Brown the other day
|
| Same system that just slayed Sean Bell, Trayvon, Eric Garner, what a shame!
|
| The same system that gon' lie just to cover up the crime, quick to send us to
|
| the grave
|
| The same system that’ll claim innocent lives
|
| Barack ain’t made shit change
|
| Nigga, fuck this shit, I won’t budge!
|
| Shit, I won’t budge
|
| They say Emmitt Till whistled at the wrong slut
|
| And now that Martin Luther gone, I guess it’s on us
|
| Fuck the cops, they gon' kill us then they charge us
|
| They gon' charge us
|
| Pull that fucking badge out, leave a nigga passed out
|
| CLAP PLOW twenty shots to my heart, lungs, face, neck, cough blood
|
| All they do is cross us
|
| Living in the projects, and we all thugs
|
| Now they searchin' through my pockets
|
| Wanna treat me like a hostage
|
| Tryna get inside my conscious like a broad does
|
| If they catch me lookin' wrong, I’m a rebel though
|
| If I got my hoodie on, I’m a criminal
|
| If I got my hands up, that means I probably got a weapon
|
| If they kill me, then I guess that means that it was an exception
|
| This a war we won’t back down
|
| And tell the government to kiss my ass
|
| I should burn the fucking flag down
|
| Yeah, I should burn the fucking flag down
|
| We were forced to surrender, they have no clue
|
| But if I protest, a nigga’ll put me in a stretcher
|
| Gun me down with my hands up screamin' «DON'T SHOOT!»
|
| Motherfucker, don’t shoot! |
