Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
I aint the one to be starting this
But honestly
How are we arguing
Bout people being targeted
By the guardians
With policies
That lock em up
And make it hard to live
And it's bi-partisan
Don't matter what the party is
The problem is larger than the politicians offices
Drug war
Stop and frisk
How can you not see it?
It's obvious
I'm a drop it like this
Imagine being profiled day and night
Police on the block wanna take ya life
Didn't break a law but you paid the price
Somebody made a call now you ain't alive
And while we do the same crime
We ain't lookin at the same time
I get probation, you get eight or nine
That ain't right, so we fight and protest it
On the front lines, eye to eye with oppressors
Not afraid to die, put our life into question
Might get a sentence for rights we requesting
But shoot up a black church with mass murder
On your way to jail you get a fatburger
13th amendment took em off the plantation
Paving the way for mass incarceration
Taken, off the streets or left you hangin
Segregation, same ol same and
How they wonder why they get no respect?
Killin people they were sworn to protect
Tell me why they gotta knee in his neck?
When it's clear he ain't perceived as a threat
I CAN'T BREATHE
He was begging and pleading
Wasn't kickin and screaming, nah
I CAN'T BREATHE
Murdered in cold blood
And they just like so what?
And you wonder why these people be recording
While you doing your minority reporting
Cuz the courts ain't coming through with help
They either sendin you to hell or superjail
When we get to see the end of white supremacy
We'll be headed in the right direction, like a step, at least
But still if I ever catch the orange boy
I wanna put my knee on his neck for George Floyd
For all the families
Directly affected by police brutality
Trust this, justice is coming!
