We all live and die, we fight so long to rise against the pain
Too much bloodshed on those streets
We wash our hands with drifting rain
Tryna make it home
Tryna make it home tonight
Gotta make it home
Gotta make it home tonight
Jones
I be thinkin' 'bout Pac, if he could see this shit (I miss you, Pac)
He'd probably say we lack a little leadership (You right)
Who gon' be the captain, who gon' lead the ship? (Let me think)
Who gon' make sure that we packin'
All them heater clips? (A couple people)
Who about that action? 'Cause we need to flip (You know me)
It's a real motion picture, we don't need a script (Facts)
Rosa Parks took a stand just so we could sit
You niggas standin' on couches probably
Wouldn't let a diva sit (Stupid niggas)
Kept the .40 close like, "Be legit" (Stay in your grain)
Now it's champagne toasts 'cause we legit (Mazel tov)
You know it's Black power, nigga, we the shit (I love my people)
If I'm not being detained, then I'ma plead
The fifth ('Cause what's the problem?)
I'ma make it home, officer, read my lips (That's a fact)
It ain't nothin' for a G to flip (You hear me?)
It ain't nothin' for me to flip
We all live and die, we fight so long to rise against the pain
Too much bloodshed on those streets
We wash our hands with drifting rain
Tryna make it home
Tryna make it home tonight
Gotta make it home
Gotta make it home tonight
Gotta make it back home
What about X if he was watchin' too? (What up, Red?)
I think he might suggest that we got lots to do (I feel that)
He probably would know best in what we gots to do (True)
Keep the lawyers on deck, you know how coppers do (Entertain us)
They treat us like animals like my block's a zoo (Grr)
That's why they put us in cages, they wanna lock us too (Why?)
Treat us like Toby, we all Shaka Zu's (My name Shaka)
'Cause that's the mindset that we adapted to (Fuck that)
All the blood that been spilled on the street (Uh-huh)
For all the Black and browns that been killed by police (Black pride)
We could start a civil war, but we really want peace (Talk)
But if the war do happen, I'm still concealing my piece (I'm loaded)
We gotta make it known that we try to make our own (Black Wall Street)
But when the Blacks owned the land, the whole place was blown (Tulsa)
USA dropped bombs on the USA (That's how y'all treat us?)
We need to run up in the White House
Screamin', "Kooda K" (Cool this shit out)
Every time we did a drill and made the shooters spray (Pray for us)
As of late, it's feeling like all I do is pray (Woo)
It was people left astray in the water (Our ancestors)
For the blood on the floor swept away
With the water (Don't mention it)
For the owner of the store that kept the tape of the slaughter (Nasty)
What about George Floyd? He never played with his daughter (Feel that)
What about Rayshard? He'll never play with his daughter (Pray for him)
I know niggas that came home and they
Go play with they daughter (Fuck that)
We been so abused, we confused, and we say we need order (Need love)
Jesus, they say that was for us (Amen)
We was so trained to run away from the Taurus (SWA Lee)
I'm tryna get back home, so just look at the cost
We all live and die, we fight so long to rise against the pain
Too much bloodshed on those streets
We wash our hands with drifting rain
Tryna make it home
Tryna make it home tonight
Gotta make it home
Gotta make it home tonight
