| When people look at me, I know it’s plain to see
|
| That I am not the problem, yet they blaming me
|
| It’s bad enough the homies wanna squeeze my blood
|
| But I gotta watch these cops ‘cause they’ve been killing us
|
| I see it in the news, on every other day
|
| Another brother dead but they look the other way
|
| Or blame on the time that he spent
|
| Locked down for a crime he ain’t commit—was innocent
|
| Can’t wait to lock you up and throw away the key
|
| Or kill you like a dog off in these fuckin' streets
|
| I wonder why they fearing our black planet
|
| But I’m still standing here ‘cause I am that planted
|
| Rooted in these muthafuckin' streets
|
| You may have scared my mom but you ain’t scaring me
|
| We the people stand as one, white or black
|
| Or Mexican-American, that’s fact, just where I’m at
|
| This revolution got something going on
|
| You think it’s bullshit; |
| we know it’s full grown, yeah yeah
|
| I don’t expect protection from Jeff Sessions
|
| The Klan is still alive using that very weapon
|
| We like the Constitution you was using
|
| Stop making up excuses, I am only human
|
| A Black man way better than
|
| Any racist muthafucka out there think he better than
|
| Me, ‘cause I got knowledge of myself
|
| I’m just trying to teach that knowledge to somebody else
|
| Yeah, they got a target on our babies
|
| That’s been heavy on my mind as of lately
|
| It’s crazy, you send your kids off to college
|
| And then you get that phone call that’s telling you somebody shot him
|
| Wow, it’s life or death right now
|
| Just trying to catch my breath right now
|
| Every time I leave the house I’m strapped
|
| I tried to walk away but I’m back, that’s just where I’m at
|
| This revolution got something going on
|
| You think it’s bullshit; |
| we know it’s full grown, yeah yeah
|
| It’s do or die for you and I
|
| ‘Cause only you and I can do for you and I
|
| Change your focal, vote local
|
| It’s deeper than just words, this is soul food
|
| What’s so great about a place that wants to separate
|
| And build a wall? |
| If that’s the case, then we were never safe
|
| I wonder where was Donald when Obama
|
| Gave the knot to get Usama
|
| Deeper than the apprentice, where people got a lifetime sentence
|
| Hated because the color of their skin never blemish
|
| Or blend in—calling me ‘colored,' I’m offended
|
| The DACA policy is ended, this place will never grow
|
| That whole administration needs to go
|
| I’m just here to speak the shit you need to know
|
| Old man starting wars on Twitter
|
| White man, why are y’all so bitter… toward niggas? |
