I don't God fear Fuck your God, I'm fucking God here Huh? You possess the same traits as the woman you came out of Explains why you speak with your mother's tongue When they try to disrespect you or your culture You turn vulture in power, speak in your mother tongue Yeah, it's only God you serve So their validation stays invalid No, you don't mess with these brothers like your mother's son Don't get too close, keep it cordial like elderflower And on Sundays, you bring flowers to your elders Go and give it to your mother's mum You turn up late every time to the turn up With gin and tonic and your mother's rum Overseas, you were birthed by a queen But over here, they don't give a fuck where your mother's from Hands up, nigga Better go hammer, bet it won't jam with video cam flicker And yeah, I know your people, they can't stand me If things get outta hand, cut off your hands And say you weren't driving on hands-free But now you can, your hand's free Just roaring up these character descriptions like I'm Stan Lee Ka-ka-ka, buck if you move, that's my plan A So anything you wanted to achieve Turn that shit to plan B By default, I don't like you, your childhood is mine And tell your parents that their adulthood is mine too FedEx swarm, won't say shit in front of red dots This ain't no fucking TEDx talk Snap it so they know it's real Open casket so the world reveals Imagine how your parents feel RIP to all my Emmett Till's Snap it so they know it's real Open casket so the world reveals Imagine how your parents feel RIP to all my Emmett Till's Mr. Officer, Mr. Officer If I had the virus, I would cough at ya That's my only recourse, this land I should divorce Because of the hell that I cough from ya Don't matter if I know my rights, right? 'Cause we still be losing all them fights, right? Your heart's blacker than the Harlem nights, right? And I knew I was in danger the first second I saw them lights You only serve and protecting your own And I was only a second from home A left turn and a couple blocks You let off more than a couple shots I was just reaching for my registration And then you reach without hesitation And now, there's no turning back Why is everything turning black? He said, "Prayer hand emojis, God bless the dead All our soldiers are in jail, all the rest are dead Guess they tryna kill a threat before it can form One day, there will come a historical storm We just waiting for the right time I just hope it happens in our lifetime And they can see how these limits feel This is for the soul of Emmett Till, for real Snap it so they know it's real Open casket so the world reveals Imagine how your parents feel RIP to all my Emmett Till's Snap it so they know it's real Open casket so the world reveals Imagine how your parents feel RIP to all my Emmett Till's You're woke and I'm never tired I guess we both resist to rest I suggest you don't resist arrest unless you seek your death Greet, oppress, if beef and heat invest, I'll be discreet instead On a calm day, pull up in you and your cute fiancé Or maybe I'll just wait until your "I do's" Or maybe I'll just wait until you fall asleep in drive-thrus Or maybe I'll just wait until you're en route to that party Or maybe I'll just wait until you're walking home from school Or maybe we'll surround you while you're playing by the pool Or maybe I just found you like that Or maybe I just tampered with the footage So it looks like I found you like that Maybe I'm possessive Can't pull it once, you know I'm extra So I have to shoot excessive To make sure your indentation outlines the leather and the sweat ring Your baby mum's expecting But the baby of your mother wasn't expecting To get flipped in his ride Fuck justice, fuck all your marches and petitions you sign Those peaceful protests haven't given me peace of mind So I still pull up with the piece to your mind I don't God fear Fuck your God, I'm fucking God here Madness in your circle Already at a disadvantage Because you're off-white, you should've married Virgil The only ones harmed Knowing damn well we were the only ones armed Maybe I lied (Facts) and maybe you cried (Facts) Innocent while I planted something hot in your lap And maybe she tried (Facts), or maybe we bribed (Facts) Some eyewitnesses go away when there's cash Paid protection, paid suspension Some colleagues do their job right But only ones they always fail to mention Stand up, don't bother Chokehold on the rest and you too will be a goner What a palaver, swallow shots like you yoga The same ones you call on when you need a saviour The system has and always will be rigged in my favour So I'm going on a cruise now, later, later, later The system has and always will be rigged in my favour Huh? Snap it so they know it's real Open casket so the world reveals Imagine how your parents feel RIP to all my Emmett Till's Snap it so they know it's real Open casket so the world reveals Imagine how your parents feel RIP to all my Emmett Till's
