You Need Me and I Need You |
| Remember all the sisters and brothers that got shot by the cops |
| We got our hands in the air and we still get popped |
| Now I ain’t saying all cops is bad |
| How many we got to lose before they take away a badge |
| How many of us gotta march man before this end |
| Why they going on vacation and they put us in the pen |
| Is it because of our skin tone, what happened to freedom of speech |
| They lock us up in the chains and gun us down in the streets |
| Dear brothers or should I say soldiers of all colors |
| Where we went wrong I wrote this love song for ya |
| Let me begin to tell ya how I love ya |
| And if your heart is anything like mine, soldier I’d die for ya |
| You never met me but you felt my presence |
| Your father, your son, your brother, that’s my essence |
| I’m only human so I stress like you and I’m just like you and someday I gotta |
| leave this flesh like you |
| We’re all a part of a plan that we would never truly understand |
| And convictions seeking confessions, we’re confused by the devil’s hand |
| Ain’t none of us was born killers and thieves but it’s the evil we instill in |
| the seeds |
| My soldiers as ironic as it seems Woadie don’t nothing truly exist but your |
| dreams Woadie |
| And sometimes I find myself worshipping in the moment |
| And when you catch me off track just put me back on it, with your love |
| All our people we lost out here |
| (Lord tell us where do we go from here) |
| Got our hands up but still in fear |
| All the bad times we’ve been through |
| (Lord tell us where do we go from here) |
| Flashing lights please don’t shoot |
| You need me and I need you |
| (Lord tell us where do we go from here) |
| We’re all human nobody’s perfect |
| Change your ways while you got time |
| (Lord tell us where do we go from here) |
| Lord tell us, did Martin Luther King man die for nothing, |
| in Baton Rouge Alton Sterling man die for nothing, |
| Philando Castile it looked real 'til I seen on Facebook man how he got killed |
| Eric Gordon told the cops Man I can’t breathe |
| Trayvon and Mike Brown died right up in the streets |
| Sandra Bland Man never had a chance, hung her in the cell like the Klu Klux Klan |
| These man-made laws man supposed to be protecting the people |
| The bad cops out here committing the ultimate evil |
| And it’s a shame how they screw us |
| Man we’re all human but you see how they do us |
| They say slavery don’t exist man say we all free |
| Law say we got rights why we can’t walk the streets |
| You say we all evil so we protest for love and peace |
| And get scared see tattoos, dreads and gold teeth |
| We pray for the families that lost their loved ones in this injustice. |
| We pray for the police that lost their lives in these senseless killings. |
| We fight ignorance with love and I’m not pointing the finger at nobody because |
| this is a human problem we’re facing right now. |
| I’m just saying if a police |
| commit a crime he should be treated like a criminal just like everybody else. |
| We just want justice. |
| No more paid vacations. |
| POP pullover protocol. |
| I mean we all hurtin' Blacks, Whites, Asians, Latinos. |
| We all we got. |
| We just want peace. |
| When you know better, you do better. |
| None of us perfect. |
| 1st John 4:21 Anyone that love God must love his people. |
| We got our hands up, |
| don’t shoot. |
| We all we got. |
