[Intro]
Restrained face down with a so-called spit hood over his head
Minutes later he was unconscious
Seven days later Prude died after being taken off life support at the hospital
The medical examiners office ruled his death a homicide
Now Rochester residents are demanding answers

[Verse 1]
These cops killin n***as like we animals
Some white people act like they ain’t understandin us
Man how the fuck you ain’t understandin us when it’s a video every week of how they mishandle us
They say stop resisting
Correct me if I’m wrong but resisting is a charge how you gone catch a charge if you ain’t livin?
Shits ridiculous
Stop the shootin we a stop the lootin
More of a Malcolm X approach we tried Martin Luther
Takin babies away from mothers
Man how long we gotta suffer?
I got a son on the way
I gotta teach ‘em to obey like a slave
Or they’ll kill ‘em where he lay

[Hook]
Too many tears mama cried a whole lake
How much water till the levee gone break
Put on the Devil shoes
Put on the Devil shoes
No more asking for reparations
We gotta take it
We gotta take it
The world the world
[Verse 2]
RIP to Daniel Prude I ain’t tryna start a feud
Imagine if the roles reverse and we started killin you
(Oh my God)
Scary sight I could imagine
But this the type of shit that shouldn’t happen
(Anytime)
Oh I see action respect action
How you stand over his body and you laughing?
Shit is tragic
See if you not a felon you should register ya weapon
Cause all we got is us for protection

[Hook]
No more asking for reparations
We gotta take it
We gotta take it
The world the world

[Verse 3]
They tell us to vote I’m not sure though
(Not sure)
I think I’m ready to go to war though
(Ready)
Over the dollar bills and euros
The police killings are now plural
(Too many) 
Education and healthcare
(Yes)
No more section 8 and welfare
(Uh uh)
Use your resources its help there
What we need to learn to practice is self-care
(Facts)
Single mothers home schooling
Ain’t no Wi-Fi they home coolin
(Light up)
Who suffers? the child does
(Damn)
This is nothing to be proud of
(Nah)
They say it starts in the household
If they don’t kill you they beat you until you out cold
Police say you offended the officer
(Damn)
One question how so
[Hook]
Too many tears mama cried a whole lake
How much water till the levee gone break
Put on the Devil shoes
(Put ‘em on)
Put on the Devil shoes
(Put ‘em on)
No more asking for reparations
(No more)
We gotta take it
We gotta take it
The world the world
